Occasionally Thoughtful

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!

Although we can’t help you with your Barbecue or your food, we can help you be prepared with birthday cards for all of your friends and family members. With dozens upon dozens of birthday card categories, you will be able to find birthday cards for kids, funny birthday cards, or even belated birthday cards.

Whatever the occasion, GreetingCardUniverse.com is proud to offer the widest range of unique cards, all of which are individually created by an artist. You can save time and money and have the cards delivered to you so you can be prepared with birthday cards for all of your friends and family, this summer season!

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!

As spring 2010 continues to bloom, we are quickly approaching a very important day for some very important people! I remember how great it felt to finish up high school graduation… To know that I’d made it! I still remember the barbecue my family had that day, inviting over friends and family to celebrate. To this day, I remember the wonderful and encouraging messages I received in cards from my friends and family. These messages inspired me to remember how far I’d come and the infinite possibilities that lie ahead.

Graduations are milestones in our lives, and at the time, they feel like the most important moment, to date! Take the time to express your gratitude and excitement for the graduate in your life this year with a unique, artist created graduation card! With a few clicks of your mouse, you can personalize your card and have it shipped directly to you, so you are prepared to help them celebrate their graduation day!

Officially, Nurses Day is on May 6th which also marks the beginning of National Nurses Week. Nurses Week goes from May 6th and lasts until May 12th, and they deserve to be appreciated every day of it!   Nurses play either a direct or an indirect role in the lives of us all!   From school nurses and emergency room nurses, to nurses at homeless shelters and even hospice nurses…. The roles that nurses play in our society are vital to the health of our society as a whole!

We here at Greeting Card Universe are proud to offer a wide variety of Nurses Day Cards to help everyone express their gratitude and appreciation.  We are thankful to the individuals and corporations who take the time to show the nurses in their lives, how much they care.  These brave and compassionate men and women who tirelessly tend to our injured, sick and less fortunate are heroes!
