Alphabet Laughs-G Is For Giveaway Day Two

Well, folks~
Here we are....
AGAIN

What do I have for
you today?
Funny you should ask.
I am adding another
little something to 
the 
500+ Followers
GIVEAWAY.

Do you ever write little
notes to anyone?
I try to do that now and then.
With email being such
a crazy fast form of 
communication,
it is easy to forget to
hand write notes, isn't it?

Well, these are to encourage
you to WRITE a note!
There are two packages
with 10 notecards in each one.
This is from 
Bonnie's Garden
out of Milwaukee, WI.
Don't you love
Soft and Serene Lilacs?
Package #2 also has 10 cards.
Summery and bright.
Quit complaining about the
quality of my photos.
Did I EVER say I was good at
photography? No.I.Didn't.

The real deal
looks a lot better than my photos.
THAT is a PROMISE!

How do you enter?
You must be a follower
AND
just leave me a comment.
You don't have to FB,
Twitter, Tweet, etc.
Just leave me a comment.

If you win you can write me a
THANK YOU NOTE
on one of these.....
uh-huh....
and if you don't...
well, let's just say you
won't sleep easy.
Hmmm...maybe I should have
saved this for my 
Alphabet S post...for
Spooky.
Now, If I didn't
SPOOK you away..
sign up for the
GIVEAWAY!
your photo name

Good Sunday Morning, Very pretty notecards. I have a couple of friends who actually enjoy an old-fashioned hand-written note still. I only wish my handwriting was as pretty as it once was!
Take care and enjoy this lovely day.

Hi Diana, I want to sign for your give away. Yours is the first posting I read every morning.:):) It's one of my favorite sites.
My sister doesn't own a computer and never will, we write to each other as much as 3 times a week. We are each other therapist. stamps are still cheaper than therapy. Smiles, xo, Susie

Very pretty cards! Occasionally I manage to send out hand written cards! Sometimes it's the most appropriate way- especially when it comes to thank-you's....

Thank-you for visiting my blog! ~Liz

Debbie~ said...

Hi Diana, I enjoy sending out a card once in a while,(I know it turns into a smile when it arrives to where it's going) and also, because I looove being on the receiving side, and finding a sweet little card in the mail!Congrats on 500 followers, we're all smitten with your stories & wit! Ps. Is it my imagination, or does Laurie look a lot like Debbie at the lake? Big hugs, Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs

Beth said...

I send a handwritten note to my son in Chicago once or twice a month. He reciprocates with a telephone call. :-) I love the note cards, they are beautiful. xo

So true! I just love a handwritten note! These are gorgeous! Lilacs are one of my favorite plants! Congrats on your 500th follower; that's quite a milestone!

Tete said...

Hope you are feeling better this morning. Its cold here this morning. Even broke out the sock monkey house slippers this morning. What a difference a few days make!

Little Miss Maggie said...

It's always wonderful to receive a nice handwritten note. Much more personal than an email. I agree.

Ann@A Sentimental Life said...

500 followers! wow! congrats!!

Patty Patterson said...

Now those are cute note cards. Love the flowers on them.

Ruth Kelly said...

Handwritten notes are especially nice to receive. People tend to forget that little touch with today's instant text messaging and email just at their handy hands.

Maureen Wyatt said...

I've started sending note cards to the grandkids. They are so thrilled to get their own mail! ~ Maureen

Gypsy Heart said...

Isn't it amazing how everyone treasures a hand written note and yet we don't send them as often as we could. I like note cards to send to my Chemo Angel as well as others.

There is nothing better than a hand-written note! I try to send them on occasion. The ones you feature in this blog are simply lovely!

Have a wonderful Sunday, Diana!

Jettie said...

I do write a few handwritten notes. I purchased a big box of mixed notes from the ILS (Independent Living Services) that is near here, the clients drew the pictures, and they are so neat.
I'm so happy you have so many followers, Entertain them and they will follow.

Shirley said...

Hi Diana, Hand written notes are special for some people. They don't want to learn how to use the computer. I like receiving hand written notes and I try to do my Christmas card with hand written notes. I would love to win them. Have a great day Hugs Your Missouri Friend.

Diana Ferguson said...

Ok, Diana, great notecards! Hope you are having a nice Sunday.

These are so pretty, Diana! I know I treasure hand-written notes, as my Mom did (I think she kept every card she ever received, Bless her!

Diana, I always try to include a note in any gift I give! I think it is the right thing to do! People know that you care about them if you write a personalized note!

You are so sweet and generous. I love writing notes, especially to my brother as he hates long winded emails!! These are so pretty!

Happy Sunday!

I have to agree that handwritten notes are the best. It's good to see your posts again! I just got back from camping and feel like I've missed so much!

I love these floral themed notecards. I do write notes to my elderly aunts who still have no idea what email is (no matter how many times we've explained it to them). Nice addition to your G-Giveaway!

Gorgeous Note Cards, love them! Happy Sunday! XOXO ~Liz

Donna said...

I just love sending little notes and cards! The family has been joking with me for years about all the money I spend on cards, letter sets, stamps - love going in to the post office these days (not all that busy anymore!) and looking at the different stamps.

In fact, last time, I bought the Disney Pixar ones for the wee ones, and I love that most stamps now are 'forever' stamps!

Wonder why they're going broke? We need a price hike - but sell mostly forevers, like we won't be smart enough to buy and stock up. Well those of us who still use snail mail will, anyway!

So, sign me up for the note cards, and of course you'll receive at thank you card from me - snail mail type!!

Hugs,
Donna

I make greeting cards so I do , on occasion, take the opportunity to enclose a little note..Yes, email and the like have ruined the art of communication..Showing my age!!!

Sue said...

I still love note cards and getting real mail...it just doesn't happen all that often. I do still write real thank you notes...a sign of old age I guess! Count me in please!
