Why Writing Greeting Cards Still Matters

March 31, 2023 By Erica Deuel 2 Comments

 

Do you love receiving snail mail? Like an actual fun piece of mail delivered to your mail box? We all get junk mail. That alone gets so annoying that I have moments that I wish all the mail would go away. Instead, I let that junk mail build up on my counter, before I do a deep purge. That I am guilty of! But, you know what gets opened up right away!? Any piece of mail that seems fun, personalized, and meaningful. This thought has gotten me to actually start writing greeting cards.

Greeting cards are an intentional act.

I have always loved making them, but I am leaning in to sending them more too. Connection to others matters. It breathes passion and fulfillment in us and our relationships. Yet, we often lose it from busyness, anxiety, responsibilities, and work. Can you relate?

One way to create a deeper connection with those you care about (especially those who live further from you) is to send greeting cards. It’s a powerful, meaningful way to say I was thinking of you and YOU Matter!

I’ve been on a mission to write 3-5 greeting cards every week this year. We need more happy mail. Through this new card writing habit, I’ve noticed a few things:

What a gift that we can use our time and words to encourage others!

It’s a crazy beautiful thing that it also builds into us!

New habits can be hard to start, so pausing to see progress and the good that is happening is so powerful. Would you like to join me in this mission to send more love and encouragement out? I’ve made a list of 26 prompts to get you started. 

Pick one prompt to write to several people in a week or pick a different prompt per a day to use for different people. The way you use this list is up to you! 

Fill out the simple form by clicking the button above, and we will give you the PDF download right away! 

Don’t stress that this is another thing to do.

Just add it as an option instead of scrolling on social media or sending a text. This is intentional, meaningful, and investing into relationships that you care about.

I do love making my cards.

If you don’t love making your cards, you could pick some up in my store or so many other wonderful places. The actual card is fun and special to receive, but what really matters is what you write on the inside.

Let me encourage you to be intentional with your words and to build into others! We are all fragile and going through something. What a powerful way to show someone you care about that you see them and they matter.

Moved!

May 1, 2013 By Erica Deuel 5 Comments

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Minted. All words and opinions are 100% mine.

We have moved! Can you believe it? I scarcely can myself. What an emotionally long roller coaster, but it was worth it. We closed on both houses last weekend, and we are now sitting in our beautiful new home. I have a permanent smile on my face.

We couldn’t have done this without the love and support of family, friends, and so many of you. The hours given, muscles used, love on our kids, and encouraging words have helped carry us to today. Thank you!

Saying goodbye is always hard. It was hard to say goodbye to a home we loved and experienced so much life in.

In contrast, saying hello to a new place is so exciting and fun. We had a whirlwind of emotions this past weekend, but I am proud that we let ourselves process and feel them all.

Through this process of moving, it might sound silly, but I was excited to experience everything. From picking out the house to decluttering and moving, I wanted to experience it. One of the things I was excited about was being able to get moving announcements. No joke.

I was introduced to Minted through this process, and fell in love with this online store. Minted sells the most beautiful paper creations. I have been drooling over all their moving announcements but they sell every kind of stationary. They have business cards, invitations, greeting cards, art prints, and even wedding invitations.

Matt and I made our wedding invitations, and if we had to do it over again, we certainly would not do that. I would have given anything to have had such beautiful and creative options with the simplicity Minted provides.

I love that Minted is made up of a vast collection of independent designers. There is so much creativity and array of styles to choose from.

I had a hard time choosing which beautiful design I would go with, but I ended up with the Flower Patch design for my moving announcement.

There really are so many beautiful things to choose from on Minted. They have more than just the stationary. There are party décor items and they even have an eye candy section where you can browse their inspiration boards. You should check them out. I have been so impressed with their costumer service and turn around on my order. You will love them!

To learn more, visit Minted online or connect with them more on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook.

Thank you so much for checking in on the status of our move, and I hope to be back soon!
