Occasionally Thoughtful

As summer begins to wind down towards fall, it is fun to sit back and think of all the great times that I’ve been able to spend with my friends and family members! I love sharing the pictures I take with friends and family by sending them Custom Photo Cards and Thank You Cards.

From weddings to birthdays, family gatherings to family reunions, summer time is jam packed with fun events. Whether we get to spend a week or a weekend with our friends and loved ones, you have the ability to send them a thank you card that they’ll cherish for ever! When they receive your cards, it will light up their day and you’ll love the feeling you get from sharing such wonderful pictures and wishes!

Greeting cards are the best way to express your appreciation and gratitude and when you get in the habit of expressing your gratitude… Magically you attract more things to be grateful for!

As fall approaches and the holidays get closer, take some time to reflect on the wonderful times you’ve been able to experience this year! Before too long, winter will be here and we’ll all be spreading holiday cheer!!!!

We live in a day and age where many of us are very busy… 40, 60, 80 hour weeks to be sure the necessities for life are covered. This hard-work ethic runs deep through the core of our society! From the South, to the North East… The Great Lakes and Mid West…. To the SouthWest and the West, Americans are working hard, every day and that work ethic deserves to be celebrated! This Labor Day is your opportunity to celebrate those you love and care about, for the hard work they do!

According to the Department of Labor, Labor day is “A yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.” I’m all about national tributes, and I appreciate the day off for the holiday 🙂 but I also am about personal tributes. It is important for you to let those in your life who work really, really hard…. That you appreciate their efforts.

It is through this act of gratitude that renewed motivation and inspiration can help those you care about most feel loved and appreciated. Two of the greatest feelings in life that every human needs. Here’s the best part! Labor Day Cards are more convenient than ever to send and are on sale!

What does summer time mean to you? Now that the fireworks are finished and the days are getting shorter, many families head for the lake or out into the mountains for some camping and relaxing. Many families use the great weather as a time to bring friends and families together for food, fun and sun!

Barbecues, in my family, were usually well timed to include 1 to 5 birthdays, through out the summer. July and August are a time for hot dogs, burgers, cards and gifts! Family and friends getting together to celebrate each other, tell stories, and enjoy great times with eachother!

Ahhh yes… Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off for summer for many Americans. Memorial day is also a time when many express their appreciation those who have served in the Armed Forces. Traditions include flying a flag at half mast from dawn until noon. Visiting National Memorials and National Cemeteries is also a common practice. A time for picnics, barbecues, friends and family! This is a fun time to send out an unexpected card to a friend or loved one, to express your appreciation. Any of the service men and women you may know, would truly appreciate a Memorial Day Card!
