Writing Greeting Cards: with pen or keyboard, both can engrave your words on your loved one's heart.

Writing greeting cards can be a pleasant activity…

I believe that any person can draw pleasure from writing in general and especially from writing greeting cards. By nature we want to express ourselves, we want to create beauty and be a part of others' lives.

Writing allows us to accomplish these creative human needs. Even if you do not engage in any other creative activity – your greeting card writing can be your outlet for expressing, enjoying, and creating beauty.

Writing is really a very sensual thing to do…

Whether you write with a fountain pen or ballpoint or you type on your keyboard, writing is a very sensual and enjoyable activity. You are creating a world.

There is a huge selection of greeting cards to choose from. You can take one with ordinary greetings, or, as I suggest to you, seek your own words and write your own card. The pleasure will be shared by you and your loved one.
