card shopping

One of the things I love most about both having a blog and reading other blogs, is the photos. 
"A picture is worth a thousand words" ...  So when blogger buddy Vee
 had the idea to have bloggers share (on the first day of spring!!) four favorite photos 
used on their blogs--that might make  nice note cards, it was a pleasure to join in. 
Any of these would do for me; in fact I made note cards from the church door photo 
one time, and gifted them to a mother whose son, the 
groom, walked out of that door with his bride on his arm! 
And let's hear it for hand-written notes!

Please visit Vee's A Haven for Vee  to see more great card options!

  1. Nice choices Dotsie. I've used some of my photos for cards before too and now since I make my own, don't buy any more from the store.
    I've even got some of the grands making all their own cards for BD parties etc. too.

  2. Beautiful! What a treat it'd be to get any one of these cards!
    p.s. I went shopping for some flowers to plant and not a single pansy was to be had! Guess I missed out. There were lots of petunias so I opted for those.

  3. Beautiful photos! I love this idea. I never thought to make cards from my photos or ones of anyone else for that matter! Very neat idea!

  4. Great "cards" -- they are perfect! I sometimes think that I should make cards out of some of my photos -- much cheaper I think than buying someone else's!

  5. I like your choices for your cards Dotsie. It was quite a challenge for me. I like the lawn chair one. Hugs, Pamela

  6. Oh come link up when you get the chance. What a nice set these four would be! I particularly love Adirondack chairs and the flowers are so bright and beautiful.

  7. Yes, a hand written letter is worth the cost of a stamp today!
    Love thinking back to my son and his bride walking out. Now onto #3 son's wedding in June!

  25. Wonderful photos and a great idea! I'd be opting for the door as I cannot resist photographing them. I plan a small collection on a wall when I can weed through and select my favorites.

    Best,
