Hubby did something very unusual last month. He bought me a Mothers Day card. We haven't bought each other cards for ages. You see, gentle reader, we have a little antique bucket full of cards we've bought through the years. When a special occasion rolls around, we pull the appropriate card from the bucket and say, "Wow, what a lovely card you gave me today!" or "Here's a birthday card for you!" Hubby and I chuckle at our cleverness and admirable thrift. We exclaim over the card and then it goes back into the bucket.
So you can imagine my surprise when Hubby handed me a brand new card. I thanked him profusely. But, between you and me and the garden gate, I must confess: I wish he hadn't been so wildly extravagant. Why, we could have spent that money on...on... Hmm... Come to think of it, I think that dollar could not have been spent on anything better. It's such a pretty card, and I did love the surprise. And now the card is enjoying its new friends in the bucket. Isn't all that priceless?
What's that? Yes, we are among the proud throngs who keep their local 99-cent store in business. I saw you there last week, didn't I?

Occassionally my husband will make me a card with a photo on it and print it from his computer.
my mom LOVES to send free ecards, with animation and music.
