If you have read my previous posts regarding card making, you will be aware of my new occasional hobby (occasional meaning on an as-needed basis) that was brought on as a result of our family summer bucket list. I had made somewhere between 150 and 200 cards while I was at Mom and Dad's, thus filling my letter writing bag quite nicely. Because I had all these nice new homemade cards, I made the decision to leave all my other notecards behind when I headed to the field. These should last me a good long while! Wrong. I got into serious letter-writing mode soon after arriving in the field, and before the end of October, I was out of cards. This meant that in order to write any more letters, I would either have to buy more notecards or make more of my own. That was an easy choice. Making them would be so much more fun. I had more blank cards on which to paste pictures at Mom and Dad's, but distance prevented me from just running over there and picking them up. No problem. I would just buy another box and get the other ones later. Except it was a problem. I couldn't find blank postcard notes anywhere. Anywhere! I looked at office supply stores, TJ Maxx, Wal-mart, craft stores, etc. until I was on the verge of giving up. Then, one day as I passed a Target I realized that I had never looked there. Target quickly made its way to the top of my list in profitable shopping locations when I found exactly what I was looking for among the assortment of notecards for sale. Long story without saying too much. Sorry. Here are the cards. Pretty, no? I had fun making them prettier by adding pictures.
