The Lost Art of Card Sending Day #1
Disclosure: I was provided an assortment of cards in exchange for writing about how I used them. No other compensation was provided.
Remember that feeling when you go to check your mail and I am not talking emails and find a card or letter from a loved one. I love to receive letters and cards from those I love and care about but sadly I will admit that I am very guilty of not sending cards as well. In this age of electronics, it seems that sending cards and letters has seemed to have fallen by the wayside.
That is why I am so excited to be able to participate in the Hallmark Get Carded Challenge. This challenge was designed to help you connect and reconnect you with loved ones. The mission of this challenge is to send seven cards in seven days to seven people who are important to me. So here is the first of the 7 day posts of this awesome challenge.
I chose to send the first card to our niece, Lucero. If you follow me on instagram, you know we just recently took a quick day trip to see the new baby that was born into our family.
This little one was a miracle for sure. You see Lucero is his mom, she is married to Raul’s, my husband, nephew. She went through a lot to bring him into the world. Her pregnancy was not an easy one for sure. She hurt her back at the beginning of her pregnancy and the emergency room gave her the wrong medicine. The aftermath of being prescribed the wrong medicine she ended up being admitted to the hospital and was paralyzed for a while. Plus add to the fact that during this pregnancy she suffered with severe morning sickness. Anybody who has ever suffered from this knows how terrible this can be.
So now that the new little one was born, I wanted to send her a quick note AKA card to let her know that I am so happy that everything is okay with her and the baby. I also told her I was glad that Felipe AKA PP found such a wonderful woman to share his life with. So that is where the first card of the seven day challenge went.

Handwriting cards and letters and sending snail-mail really is a lost art! I love getting handwritten things in the mail – it just seems more sincere somehow!
I love getting cards – almost as much as I love giving them. It is always fun to go through all the different cards at the store to pick out just the right one.
In our digital age people don’t send cards often enough anymore. I love to send cards but am terrible at it, great challenge!
Before I had my little ones I sent handwritten cards all the time. Thanks for the reminder that I need to get back to do that again. It really does warm the heart to give and receive them.
So true. I use to handwrite thank you cards all the time and now I don’t. I need to start.
