Greetings
Our family is invited to a baptism today...nothing unusual in that except that this child is our friends' ninth child.
On one of my usual trips to Shady Maple, I thought I'd quickly pick up a baptism card to save myself some trouble. WRONG.....After digesting the slim pickins of baptism cards, I chose one and got a huge sticker shock. FOUR DOLLARS for a card...I remember when the four dollars would be considered a good-sized gift in a birthday card.
Forget it.
Put the card back, figuring I'd head to Target or the Hallmark store anyhow.
Then I remembered my Hallmark Card Studio software from 2003. Funny, but I must have gone through a printer or two since I used this software last. I had to print out the card two or three times until I got it exactly right. So there. PHTTTTTT!!! to grocery store card prices.
Makes me crazy.
I know people who only send e-cards. This is fun, but I don't feel right attending an event and saying...check your e-mail. E-cards are great, but sometimes not appropos.
It is 75.8 degrees as I write this at 11:19 a.m. I am grateful for the weather change.
Still workin' on my Agnes story.
