EG team Valentine Blog Hop

Lets Go to the hop, the EGteam Valentine Blog Hop

Welcome! I just love Lisa and her subtle hints for her hubbie. I would be as subtle with such great favorites too. I love them birdies too. She always has some great items and ideas for Valentines.

I hope you have enjoyed your journey through our great BlogHopParty thus far.

Welcome to my journal of twitterpation.

Theres something about spring that has everyone "twitterpated" a.k.a.Love. It is such a delightful feeling of gittiness and fancy free as we let our hearts flutter with joy for our special someones. This year my twitterpation has swifted me into the shores of love. This photo by MariaSiyanko.etsy.com not only inspires relaxation and fun it has also inspired my 

Valentine idea of Amor a.k.a. Amor. I just love that word. Oh yeah, I'm twitterpated.

February, for me, has always been a trip through memory lane. As my Love progresses so does my concideration and appreciation for my Pooh Bear. Shh, don't tell him I let that slip out. Any who, I want to share my Twitterpation gift with you. Lets see, for me and my sweety this journey has taken us to many places and many struggles each and every one special not for the struggles but the growth. The beach of this photo is where love takes us all. A location that is much needed after a strong "debate" of importance or non importance. A place where all skin is beared and all previous issues are left in the cabana with our suits. Woah Will Robinson! We're going astray. This photo has inspired wild and fancy free ideals for this special month but not only that it has inspired my Lucky Lady greeting card.

  Cabana gal

I love how this card turned out. She has a beautiful gitty face with that look of, I'm sorry and lets get it on. I kid I kid.....This card has been created of fabulous yesteryear ephomera. My lucky lady is a great Valentine's Day card where all there is left to say Is, Hello Cupcake (on front of card), Come on over and be my Lucky Valentine (on inside of card) and lets go to the beach and leave our suits in the cabana. Well it doesn't say all of that but it sure does portray it. I see this card has captured your fancy. So you love this card but aren't sure what gift to pair it with, well you have come to the right place. Not only have we been inspired by the season but we have included a little help for your shopping ahead.

This card is a unisex card, one that both male and female would love to receive. Having said so this is a great coordinating gift for her.

This Yellow gold tiny heart promise ring with the words "All you need is Love" inscribed on the band is a great gift that reaches the heart. With a beach location and a love of gold this heart ring would be the pinnacle of your beach front romance.

Let's not scamper off so swiftly. What if you would like to give this card to your Pooh bear. For all those fun loving men this Pin Up Girl Boating

Liquor Flask from thehairofthedog .etsy.com would be a fun gift with his drink of choice enclosed to create the most relaxing and enjoyable Valentines day on the beach yet.

May my twitterpation inspire you to scurry to the beach as well.

Now lets's continue the excitement to the redletterpaperco to inspire more great Valentine Lovin. Simply select the right arrow to move forward to the next EGteam Blog party. If you happen to have missed some other great party Blogs feel free to select the left arrow to take you there.

52 weeks of Mail Giveaway

Etsy Greeting team is inagurating 52 Weeks of Mail

Direct from our friends over at Handmadeology please read why this project has been a must start

 in our Etsy Greetings Team's hearts.

Of course we all love the internet, but there are many among us who just love to send and receive cards and letters.
When you think about it, it’s amazing to realize how easy it is to send cards, letters, and greetings anywhere in the world. Sometimes it takes a while to get there, admittedly, but there’s nothing like the look and feel of handwriting on paper. It’s not as fast as the internet, of course, but it’s just as easy, it’s accessible to everyone, and it’s deeply personal.
You might not know that World Post Day is coming up on October 9, marking the anniversary of the Universal Postal Union’s establishment in 1874. The union aimed to create and maintain a structure for the free flow of international mail around the world.


The Etsy Greetings Team, a collection of over 100 artists from all over the globe who collaborate to promote the art and craft of card making, is celebrating World Post Day by issuing a challenge that we are calling 52 Weeks of Mail. This idea sprung from one member’s desire to keep in touch better with friends and loved ones, and to be intentional about relationships. The idea is for people to commit to sending at least one personal note, card, letter, or postcard to people they know, once a week for a year. Of course, you can send MORE than one, but that’s up to you. Just think how happy this will make the Postal Services around to the world—not to mention those old friends!!
Here are three ways you can participate: read full article here

Yay, I love happy mail!

Speaking of  happy news I will be giving away 5 special designed greeting cards to start this experience on a happy note. All you have to do is let me know who you plan to write to and why. All the emails of those who have commented will be then put into my custom mail box and shuffled around. Then my daughter will draw at random the 5 winners to receive these great cards so that they can send to their loved ones in return.

This is how it will work.

Starting today..

Leave your comment here on my blog and receive 1 entry.

Find me on my facebook page and leave and additional comment and receive another entry.

If you have purchased an item from my shop here in the past month, you my friend, have received an additional entry.

Only 3 entries will be accepted by participant.

The winners will be randomly selected and posted on World Post Day, October 9th. Which is this Sunday.

I look forward to your comments.
As the 52 Weeks of Mail progress

I invite you to share your stories here as we continue to make new friends communicate with old friends

are strengthen one another one postage stamp at a time.

For some wonderful greeting cards
