It’s time to think about our supply of Birthday cards – with Dainty Flowers DSP
I may have mentioned that one of my resolutions for this year is to get my own card sending under control. Long ago, I had a card book that had envelopes attached to each month. The idea was to record birthdays and anniversaries and tuck any cards in that I had purchased in advance. Well READ MORE
