It Is So Hard To Say Goodby

Goodbye Elliott and Savannah

Hope you have a wonderful trip home

We miss you already and love you so much

Your Family

Three weeks ago, my grandson, Elliott and his wife, Savannah, came from FL to visit us in Wilbur (where Elliott grew up and his family live) and in Davenport (where Savannah grew up and her family live). Elliott is serving in the Air Force, based in Hurlburt Field, FL and they are expecting a baby boy in February.

I had to say goodbye to them 15 minutes ago. They are on their way home. It is so hard to say goodbye. Here is a card their aunt Linda made after the baby shower for them on August 24th

Even A Six Year Old Can Send Greeting Cards!

Not too long ago, my 6 year old Great Granddaughter, Maddie, (above with her aunt Kelly) asked if she could send a postcard to her aunt Kelly who had recently moved to Nashville, TN.  So I showed her how to do it, helping her a little here and there.

So after she had sent her first card, she said to me that she wanted to send a card to everyone in her family.

On Monday, she sent a "Thinking of you" card to her Dad.  On Tuesday, she sent a "Best Mom of the Year" card to her Mom.  On Wednesday, she sent a "Thank You" to me for showing her how to make cards online.  On Thursday she sent a "Wish you a Happy Back to School" card to her cousin and on Friday, she sent a "Miss You Soooooo Much" card to her aunt.

Finally the card for her Dad arrived.  He couldn't believe it and he told his daughter how much that card meant to him.  The next day, her Mom's card arrived. Again her Mom
was so proud of her daughter for thinking of her and sending the card. I got my card the next day and was so very happy she was thinking of me as well.  Her cousin and aunt also received their cards and called her thanking her so much for thinking of them!

She was a very proud little 6 year old and couldn't wait to make some more cards using SendOutCards!

Here Are 5 Reviews For SendOutCards

Before I begin, yesterday I told you my grandson Elliott and his wife Savannah are having a baby and were going to find out  if it is a boy or a girl.......   Guess what?

One of the things I enjoy doing is to read what people are writing about a certain product or companies. Here are 5 comments regarding SendOutCards

1. Wayne

"I use SendOutCards in my business for Thank You's, reminders of my service and definitely for personal use. We are a web marketing company and seem to be so busy that we don't always stay in contact with our clients enough. Even though we are still busy, I can send these high quality cards, including their company logo, pictures or their business and even us, from my computer. My client actually call me when they receive the card to thank me. Much better than the calls when they have a problem. Excellent company and service."

2. Ann.....

"I am considering doing this. I am a Realtor and always send note of appreciation. It seems this wold organize that part of what I do more efficiently, and I can generate revenue."

3. Theresa....."I can't understand how some people just don't see this as a great concept. Besides making a few extra dollars, it is time saving and so convenient for most of this busy world. I use this for everything and never forget someone's birthday or any other special occasion. As far as the advertising on the back of the card, that is a way of being able to check out the company and get in touch with the sender, if they like what they see."

4. Cynthia......

"Ok I love SOC. I've been a customer for a while and just went Senior Distributor. This is a real business but you need to treat it as a business in order to succeed and that is true with any MLM. If you want to get rich quick without doing a thing it is never going to happen."

5. Tony.........

"I started using SendOutCards in December of 2004. I have not missed a birthday or anniversary to everyone important to me. It has improved many relationships with people who thought I was too busy to care. SendOutCards has improved my life in ways I never thought of."

And there you have it. Maybe you would like to give it a try. It doesn't cost you a penney to try it by sending a FREE card today.
