The caption " I read that woman have sex in the neighborhood of 5 times a week" Inside "Do you suppose we're living in the wrong neighborhood?
I recreated the card once myself seeing I have NEVER been able to find it! I believe it's an American Greeting line!

I've rarely gotten a greeting card I didn't love!

IF ANYONE ever runs across this card would you PLEASE let me know where you saw it! It doesn't have to be exactly the same either! Just the wording is important mainly!

I have a card problem. I come by it honestly; I got it from my mom. She is the "card lady" in our family and I know when she's gone I will probably take the helm....

I save all important cards (ie from my kids, my parents, my siblings and some girlfriends) I also send cards and have one of those handy dandy accordian type card boxes that are separated into months AND holidays. There is even a tiny drawer for pens and stamps

I have all my old Christmas cards from previous BFP card exchanges and I will use some of the more suitable ones for making ornaments for the tree so I have them always.

In conclusion, yes...I am a big ol sap.

PS: Trader Joe's has a very good selection of creative and attractive cards for a mere .99. I peruse them EVERY time I go. There. I said it.

E- mail and E-cards are fine but IMHO there is nothing like opening your mailbox and finding a little something in there to hold in your hand,brighten your day,and glance at and re-read from time to time

Agree, there is just something special about getting a card in the mail. I have recently been making it a point to send out cards randomly, just because I can, even if all I write in them is hello, I was thinking of you. It is a nice little special treat for people.

I think thats why I joined the postcard thread...while I am not a fan of greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries, etc I LOVE getting cards for fun. We recently had a theme mailing about women...the postcards were a delight!
