I love emails. I love sending them and receiving them. But more than emails, I love snail mail. I love love looooove opening my mailbox and discovering an envelope snuggled in, under those uninvited bills, with a happy little greeting in there just for me. I love leaving in the morning and stopping at my mailbox to drop an envelope in, sending a happy little greeting off to someone I love. I have a shelf dedicated to cards; thank you cards and no reason other than I wanted to say hi! cards.
I have wanted to have some custom greeting cards printed for some time now. I am pretty awesome at procrastinating so obviously, I never followed through. Then I said goodbye to my Doodle Bug. And I pored over all her portraits. And I came across a photo that stomped it’s feet, begging and pleading to pretty puh-lease be made into a custom greeting card. So I finally had them made. And. I. LOVE. Them.
I had them printed on art linen paper, which is just gorgeous. You can see the texture it gives the card in this shot.
The inside…. (my Dave friends will appreciate the greeting 🙂 You know I had to slip a Dave reference in there somewhere!)
And my absolute favorite, the back ♥…

and a random cuteness alert: Last weekend I headed to the 14th annual Pug Parade. I always enjoy this event; there is nothing like being surrounded by a ridiculous amount of pugs. It was sad for me- this was the first year going without my faithful Pugger by my side, but it was also fun because I got to bring Tinsley for her very first experience of Pug craziness. While there I was excited to see my friend and fellow photographer Emilee Fuss had a table set up. She snapped a quick shot of Tinsley, which you can see on her blog HEREÂ (her photo is about in the midde of the post). SO CUTE!!!!
