With all the technology that we live with, it seems that a lot of the personal touches have disappeared.  I know for me, I seldom send handwritten cards anymore.  It’s so much easier to just shoot someone a text or write a quick “Happy Birthday” on their Facebook wall.  My goal for this new year is to get back to the simpler old fashioned way of sending correspondence.  How weird does that sound!?  It will definitely take more effort on my part, but I know how much I love going to the mailbox and having something in my hand that someone took the time to send me.

This method isn’t always the cheapest but I wanted to let you in on a little secret!  Did you know that Walmart has a whole section of Hallmark cards for $.47 and $.97!?

 I was there the other day and stocked up for the next few months.  It takes a little bit of planning ahead, but it’s SO worth the extra time!

 I just added the people and events that I wanted to send cards to on my calendar.  {If you want it there by a certain date, make sure you give yourself enough time. 🙂 }

My Memaw still sends me regular mail and my girls and I love getting it.  It’s so special!!  How about you!?  Is there some you know that has a special event coming up or just send a quick note to someone you love letting them know you are thinking about them.  Either way, it will brighten their day and yours!
