Happy New Year 2015!
Did you know that Valentine's Day ranks second to Christmas for card sending.
Hallmark has an interesting report on their card sales.
- Christmas – 1.5 Billion (includes boxed and individual)
- Valentines – 144 Million (includes boxed and individual)
- Mother's Day – 133 Million
- Father's Day – 94 Million
- Easter -57 Million
- Halloween – 20 Million
- Thanksgiving – 10 Million
- St. Patrick's Day – 8 Million
That is a lot of cards and that is only one company. Just imagine if you added all the hand stamped cards made and sent by stampers.
What card are you stamping and sending this year? Today's TBT (Through Back Thursday) features the card that I sent last year. Features the Language of Love stamp set, Year-End Closeout for only $7.79.
Yesterday's post shared with you some great deals on stamp sets and cards.

thank you thank you thank you!!! for such a quick and complete response. i wont bore you with all the deets, i own almost every DP there is (yup, total SU! DP freak!!!), keep an alphabetical list of all my DPs with the colors in each one, had overlooked the strawberry slush when i listed fresh prints. so did not even look at this paper stack yesterday as i was combing through the possible DP family this polka dot design could be in. i am so glad i made your day yesterday, but YOU most certainly made mine this morning!!! not only that, but i had *guessed* some of the other colors wrong. so NOW i have the complete picture and this will most definitely be one of the 15 valentine cards i send out this year. i shall probably choose two or three other cards i like and make dupes of all. thanks again, patsy!!!
blessings, jo ann.
