I have a confession to make. I have never been someone who is big on purchasing cards for different occasions. On occasion I’ll buy a card if the situation absolutely warrants it or I don’t have the time do make one, but I really don’t like spending the money on them. Yes, sometimes a card can sum up your sentiments better than you perhaps can on your own. However, I believe our actions and own words can often be more powerful. That’s why I love handmade cards!
