does one else think that birthday cards are a waste of money and a gift...they are pieces of paper that are thrown away and get used for nothing

well thats different...if you made it and put ur heart and time into the card then it has alot more meaning than if you stoped at Halmark on the way home from work.

yes I do agree with you. I hardly ever buy one unless I'm giving someone money. Then i need something to put the money in. I cant believe how much they cost now, its crazy!

No, not actually. Cards can tell a person how they feel about them or how much a person means to that person.

i just think that there are better ways to do this, instead of using someone elses words, make your own card

it shows a sense of appreciation towards someone we love n care. it is not a waste of money.

but dont you think there is a better way to show your love and appreciation for somebody...atleast make a homemade card instead of taking someone elses words from the hallmark store

Sometimes, those piece of papers, on which some wishes are written are more than anything else in the world, so that neither the waste of money, not just a piece of paper

I agree with you completely. With the exception of the occasional card for a very elderly aunt or someone in a position where I cannot speak to them myself, I never send cards for anything. Each year I have several trees planted on behalf of my friends and family, and they represent the cards I might have sent under other circumstances. Its beeter for the environment and I like to think that there is a tree out there that represents all my 'cards' from 10 or 15 years ago, still growing away happily and full of wildlife, rather than cards all sad and mushy in landfill

too expensive! - too expensive!
I feel the same way. I have my children make cards for family or for the parties that they are going to. They are really overpriced too!

Christmas tags - Meowy Christmas!
Hi....I love making cards. I think it's a great way to really do something...I've attached here a little card I made for the coming Christmas. Check out my blog at www.scrapadoo.blogspot.com for other cards that I personally make. It's alot of work, but it's very fulfilling when the receipient looks at the card different from another normal commercial card.
