Do you think Sending Cards is a Lost Art? The people at the counter at the post office today said that the Christmas card load is waaaaay down. Hardly ever have anyone come in with a bucket of cards to mail like I just did, unless they are sending business cards to their clients.
I finished my Christmas card making yesterday with the arrival of about 4 pounds of postage stamps. In the envelope of my shipment was a stamp collector's catalog of possibilities. I think that means I ordered enough stamps to qualify as a collector?
I order the Floral Garden stamps 100 at a time for my customer card stamps, cards to my Team Members every month, and for The Dandelion Society cards.
I ordered some Love stamps for birthday cards.
I had to order some Snoopy stamps for paying our winter bills.
And then, as a special thing for our oldest daughter, I bought the collection of Wonder Woman stamps! It'll be a fun surprise.
If you are a card sender, do you buy your stamps at the post office or order them online?

I go to a postal outlet. I like to choose my own and get new & different ones.
i send cards but since most of my friends are on Facebook and know what we've been doing over the past year, not much need of a "letter"! I just love to get personal mail instead of junk. I think others do too.

You might be surprised, Julie. Getting a piece of real mail isn't just for those far away. In fact, my neighbor and nearby friends get tickled when I send them a card! Make it personal, mention something specific to them, … and let me know how it turns out!

I always go to the post office as I like to see all the designs and then I pick out the ones that I really like. Online just seems to impersonable.

I used to go to the post office until we moved here. Now the traffic is too scary! LOL
