September 18th
has hereby been designated as HUG A GREETING CARD WRITER DAY. Greeting
card writers provide the words that we send at all life’s most basic,
personal moments. Whether everyday occasions or seasonals , we are the
folks who furnish the sentiments that most people are unwilling—or unable—to
say for themselves to someone dear. Greeting card writers are generally
anonymous—and often under-appreciated, yet our words are present in every
nook and cranny of America. As such, the least we deserve is a
once-a-year-hug! Click on the "September 18 DAY" to your left to find
out more about this exciting day and the events we're sponsoring surrounding
it.
WELCOME to the only website exclusively devoted to the absolutely
fantastic, creative world of Greeting Card Writing!

April 14, 2009 Word For Word
Two note cards
arrive months apart. One comes from Atlanta, anonymously written. The
other is from Louisiana, printed in pencil. One brings tears to my eyes;
the other brings a smile to my face. Catch a glimpse into the world of a
greeting card writer’s correspondence by reading this month’s Word For Word.

January 23, 2009) Under The White Hot Spot!
Nurses Day can be
traced back to 1953, but even before that could be found congratulatory
cards specifically aimed at graduating nurses. We located such a card in an
antique store. The quaint artwork and verse harken back to what some term “a
simpler time.” Click above to see an early salute to our nation’s healers
in our ever-popular, Under The White Hot Spot. |

Headlines and
By-lines
We'd like to share some of the headlines and bylines Sandra's had through
the years, both present and past. This current update includes two
headlines...the first from a "phone book quiz" published in an Island
newspaper and the second from an interview Sandra gave to a major in-flight
magazine. Amassing this info will take some time, so bear with us...and
enjoy the tour! |

contributions mean so much. Sandra will interview people just like
you--or maybe just like you hope to be one day--a working, "getting paid"
greeting card writer. |
