Having a large family means spending a lot on postage. In my family, there are 4 brothers, 5 sisters, my parents, 5 SILs, 6 BILs, my in-laws, 6 nieces, and 2 (soon to be 3!) nephews. That’s a lot of birthdays, Christmases, Thanksgivings, and Easters. I like to have a lot of cards on hand, but I don’t like to spend lots of money. I frequently scour the “$1.00 or Less” section of card racks, and I’ve also started browsing through Etsy. Here’s some of my most recent card purchases…

“Merry Birthday” cards from Jenny Rose

Little Girl birthday cards from Elephant Dance

The Valentine’s Day cards were for the swap I did a few weeks back. They were a bit Victorian for my taste, but also really pretty 🙂 The Jenny Rose “Merry Birthday” cards just seemed so cute – I loved the fact that they said “merry” birthday instead of happy birthday. The Twiddlestix cards looked like good ones to send to the guys in the family, and the Elephant Dance cards seemed perfect for the little nieces 🙂 All in all, I’m quite pleased with my purchases!
