WELCOME BACK TO MUMSIE'S COTTAGE!

Its time to get this little scrap business going again!

I can't believe it is almost a year since the last post

but helping with the grand girls has kept us all busy.

Now that Bean is 5, Tuts is 2 (in a few weeks) and

Smalls will be 1 in July, things are getting a little

easier at the other Riera home.

I am ready to go full force into the thing I love to do,

Scrap especially when it is doing for others,

to see the faces of those people I make gifts for

makes me happy.

TODAY, LET TALK ABOUT CARDS,

ALL KINDS OF CARDS,

YES, I KNOW MOST OF YOU NEED GRADUATION CARDS

I MAKE HANDMADE ONES

AND NOT MANY ARE THE SAME.

MY GRADUATION CARDS ARE ONLY TWO DOLLARS

A PIECE BECAUSE HOPEFULLY YOU NEED A FEW!

THESE ARE A FEW OF THEM! YOU CAN TEXT ME

AN ORDER OR SEND ME A FACEBOOK MESSAGE

AND I WILL GET THEM DONE AND TO YOU QUICKLY!

TODAY, HOWEVER, I REALLY WANT TO DISCUSS 

THE ONE CARD THAT IS FOR NO REASON,

SNAILMAIL. WE HAVE LOST THE TOUCH OF

SENDING CARDS VIA THE POST OFFICE.

I HAVE OFTEN SAID, IF WE DON'T START USING

OUR POST OFFICES WE WILL LOOSE THEM, LIKE

LIBRARIES, THEY WILL SLOWLY CLOSE,

CONSOLIDATE WHICH WILL LOOSE JOBS FOR

SOME OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE ON EARTH.

BUT LETS THINK BACK ON THE LAST TIME YOU 

RECIEVED A CARD IN YOUR MAILBOX,

NOT FOR BIRTHDAY, OR A DEATH,

IT'S JUST BECAUSE LOVE.

HOW DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL, 

WARM AND FUZZY? 

EVEN I HAVE NOT SENT CARDS THE WAY

I USED TO JUST TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL 

GOOD WHEN THEY CHECK THEIR MAIL.

I TELL YOU IT CHANGES A PERSONS DAY, PUTS

A SMILE ON THEIR FACE ALL DAY AND SMILES

ARE CHAIN REACTION.

SO, MONDAY I AM GOING CARD CRAZY,

MAKING "JUST BECAUSE" CARDS TO SELL

NONE WILL BE THE SAME AND ALL WILL

BE HANDMADE FROM THIS BRAIN OF MINE.

MY SMALLER CARDS, APROXIMATELY 4 BY 6

WILL BE IN PACKS OF 5 FOR12 DOLLARS,

CHEAPER THAN HALLMARK!

MY BIGGER ONES, APPROXIMATELY 6 BY 8,

WILL BE 15 DOLLARS FOR 5.

I DO SPECIALTY CARDS FOR WEDDINGS AND

BABIES, SOMETHING WORTH FRAMING

AND SAVING AS AN HEIRLOOM.

ALL MY CARDS ARE BLANK INSIDE.

WHY? BECAUSE I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT

EVERY CARD NEEDS A HANDWRITTEN

LOVE NOT INSIDE, THAT PART IS FREE, WRITTEN BY YOU.

MORE COMING SOON AS I HAVE LOTS OF

THINGS I CAN DO FOR YA!

THANKS FOR FOLLOWING,

"MUMSIE"
