Laurie said...

Thank you for visiting my blog and for leaving such a sweet note. I am very impressed with your generosity and would love a chance to win one of your card boxes. How lovely. I will never, ever give up on "snail mail" because I love to get mail myself -- it can't be beat. The person I would like to send a card to most is my sister in law, the wife of my husband's brother. He left her in November for another woman and we're all still in shock. They'd been married 23 years - childless. She is still, as she put it, living "hour by hour."

I hope you'll be back to visit my blog, and enter my giveaway, too! www.indulgeyourshelf.blogspot.com - the deadline is the same as for this UBP, today!

DeeDee said...

wow.. what a sweet gift - I agree with Cindy - we are getting away from real mail. And how sweet it is to get a card.
I would send one to my mom first...who had just had a mastectomy.
I have three give aways at my place if you have time to drop by - today is the last day to "register".
Sweet Blessings

Faith said...

What an AWESOME giveaway!! I have a friend that recently found out she is pregnant after several years of trying. I would love to send her a card of congratulations for this answered prayer!

Thank you for offering the giveaway!

Hillary @ The Other Mama said...

Thanks for visiting my blog. Yours is adorable!
I think I would send a card to my grandmother. She sends them to me all the time and I always try to reciprocate, but she is always the First to send. I'd love to surprise her next!
thanks!

Susie said...

What a great contest! I know way too many people experiencing loss right now, and so I would love to send them a beautiful card!

What a wonderful giveaway! I would send a card to my dear aunt who recently had a tumor removed from her breast. Hopefully with radiation treatment, that will take care of the cancer. Luckily they found it early. It showed up on a mammogram. A good reminder to get those yearly checkups.

Kayla said...

I LOVE your idea for a card box! Getting cards in the mail is one of the best feelings in the world. If I won the card box I would be sending the first one to my cousin. She just had a baby, and you know how the beginning goes. She is sleep deprived and exhausted! I went over last night to take a shift with the sweetest little girl so that her mommy could sleep an hour or two before the next feeding. This new mommy needs lots of love right now to get her through the next few weeks!! Thanks for such a great offer!

Thanks for your comment on my blog. You said that you just started your blog not long ago, but you already have so many friends commenting on your cool blog. It looks like you are doing something right! I can't even get my family to comment. :)

I'd love the card box if I'm chosen. What a fun business to have. I have been thinking about my grandfather lately. My grandmother died two years ago and he lives across the country from us with no other family around him. He doesn't like computers so we don't keep in touch as much as I do with other family members.

Nice to met you.

Unknown said...

What a neat contest and, wow, the card box is gorgeous!

My best friend, Angie, lives in Louisiana and I'm in Virginia. I think about her all the time.

Barb said...

what a wonderful blog....thanks for stopping by my blog as well...
I am looking forward to reading more of your blog...
I would love to win that box full of cards...
right now I have my Sister in Law on my heart...her little 6yr old son died two weeks ago and her and her hubbys hearts are broken and I wish that I could fix it all for them...but as we all know...we can't.... a card is always a nice picker upper...

Hi, I am a pastor's wife and I saw your comment on the preacher's wife blog. The person on my mind is my friend (34yrs old) fighting breast cancer.
Thanks,
Lisette

Susan said...

Thankyou for visiting my blog and the nice comment! You have a really nice blog and I will be back to read more of it for sure! I would love to send a card to my best friend who left awhile back. I miss her terribly!I hope I win this. I will keep my fingers crossed!

Muthering Heights said...

I would love to send a card to my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's, so getting mail is a nice way for her to know I am thinking of her...she doesn't usually remember my phone calls. :)

Jessie said...

That's an awesome card box! If I won one of those boxes, I'd send a card to my SIL who is getting ready to get married next month. I'd also send a card to my small group leader from church. I'm so thankful of all the small stuff she does to keep our group running.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. You said you were a newer blogger when you commented, and it's such a great world of amazing women.

Carmen said...

Hi Teresa,
Thanks for stopping by my blog! WOW, look at the response you've received on this giveaway! I live in Canada, so probably don't qualify...but I wanted to stop in and say hello anyway. Your blog looks lovely! Talk to you again soon!

Aunt Angie said...

Wow! The stampede here nearly ran me over (*grinning*)!!!

This is incredible!

There really is more than one person I've had on my heart for days...not just today. She is a dear friend..I've never laid eyes on--but our hearts serve the same LORD. Iris is here name. The other two are Paula and Lisa. Hmmm. I am a card sender. I keep some at home..and some at work. My address book goes where I go. Just in case.

This is the neatest giveaway! Enter me please :)

Marie said...

What a clever idea this is and so organized -- I am never this organized :-) The person that I have had on my heart lately is a dear friend who is going through chemo right now for stage two breast cancer. I have been sending her cards and little things to cheer her up and plan to continue to do so. She was such a big support to me in my own illness!

Just checking in during the UBP '09! The card box is beautiful

Blessed said...

You have a beautiful blog and I love your post about your daughter.

I would send a card to a good friend of mine who is waiting to hear if they will be able to adopt some twins who are being born in August to a young lady who is in drug rehab and already has three other children - all separated from each other, adopted by other people, and all suffering the affects of her drug abuse. My friend and her husband want to see the twins get to stay together and after having suffered through several miscarriages and adoptions that didn't work out in the end they appreciate any note of encouragement I can send them! They are beautiful people and a blessing in my life.

Unknown said...

AWESOME giveaway. Being at the end of the list lessens the chance of winning but I have to try anyway, right? : )

Thanks for visiting my blog(s). I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to leave me a comment.

Unknown said...

Oops... I forgot to answer your question. The person on my heart is my mother who is dying from lung cancer.

Sarah Bradford-Burton said...

Thank you for visiting my blog earlier this week. You are so sweet!
Please count me in for your giveaway!
Hope you win some prizes too!

I'd really like to send my mom a card. It would definitely cheer her up!

Krystyn @ Really, Are You Serious? said...

Love the box!

And, I would send a card to my sister! She needs lots of love!

Michelle said...

What a thoughtful gift to giveaway! I like to have different occasion cards on hand to send out when I need to.

Someone I have on my heart is my husband- he's currently deployed for a year so I will definitely be sending him a lot of cards!

A and E's Momma said...

Hi Teresa,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I think your card boxes are such a great gift! I see that you have had a lot of visits and understand your time is of great value. You asked to let you know if there was anyone on my heart that I would like to request a card to be sent to, well there is. If you visit my blog again and check out my two blogs regarding RIP Lauren, you will see that I lost someone close recently. I would love to have a card sent to her family. Something to show that I care. If not, again, I understand.

Regardless, I will stay tuned to the creative juices flowing on your blog.

Marlita said...

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. I love it knowing that people take the time to leave a little word.
As far as who I would send a card to... that's a tough one, but I think it would be to my nephew who just turned 4 who is fighting leukemia like a superhero. His dad's blog is www.roverhaus.blogspot.com

Angi said...

Love, love, love the box. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I've had on my heart to send a card to my mom, she's been having a hard time lately, recovering from a fire that burnt down her house.

Reeni said...

Thank-you for stopping by my blog and letting me know about your generous giveaway. What a sweetie you are! I would send a card to my cousins, two of my aunts died three days apart, two weeks ago. Just a card to let them know I'm thinking about them.

Anonymous said...

Love the card box. My little sister has been on my mind and I'd love to send her a card! Thanks for doing this!

Kat said...

Hello! I love your blog, and I'd like to get in on this giveaway thing, too! I would love to send a card to my dad. I haven't talked to him in quite a while, and he's been on my mind a lot lately. Thanks for offering this! I hope you will visit me at Atomic Mom.

Wow! Love your site....

I have a heavy heart lately for an elderly couple in our church who have not been able to make it to church the last few weeks because the wife has been put on oxygen. They miss their church family terribly and I miss seeing them in their regular pew each week.

Krissy said...

What a great thing to giveaway!

I would send one to my best friend [on the other side of the country] who is off to Iraq in August while he just got back from Kurdistan.

Beachcomber said...

Hi. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I like your blog header. Very pretty. Nice give away. Who couldn't use cards packaged in a lovely box.

Kelly @ Sufficient Grace Ministries said...

What a wonderful giveaway...this would be great because I often encounter people or have someone on my heart to encourage and then I am horrible at following through with sending a card, just beause of not having the time to go out and get one. I would probably send a card to Deb...to encourage her and let her know how loved and appreciated she is. And, I'm so glad you stopped by my blog to let me know about this lovely giveaway. Many blessings to you...

Shara @ Blissfully Chaotic said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your blog and your box is very pretty! I have had my nanna on my heart lately. She is 73 - love her to death!

Too cute blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog during UBP 2009. You are offering such a great giveaway here! This box of cards would be so perfect for me. I'm having a giveaway at my blog too, and for every comment I get on the giveaway post, I'm sending one CARD and comfort item to a soldier stationed overseas! I would love, love, love it if it could be your cards I send!

One Mom said...

Found you through your comment in Rocks in My Dryer...so glad to find another Grammy! Your card box is beautiful and with half of my family and most if my grandchilden in another state, I send a lot of cards!

I will be back often!

Unknown said...

Hi Teresa,
I don't ever win anything - really I don't - but I thought I'd go ahead and enter your giveaway.

Truth is I used to LOVE to send pretty cards to my friends. I'd spend a few minutes and write a sweet personal note (usually extremely ooey gooey and girly), and then I'd use a pretty sticker to grace the envelope. With email, I haven't been as faithful to that very enriching activity.

I think my sweet momma is due for a sweet note as well as my friend Sue (the one I used to send most of the notes to).

What a fun giveaway.

Have a great day Teresa.
Lynnette

Stephanie said...

Christian Frugal Mama said...

Thanks for the giveaway! I haven't had anyone in particular on my heart lately, but I often do and want to send them a card. What a nice giveaway!

Jess :) said...

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment!! :)

Right now, I've been PRAYING like crazy for my very special friend, Jennifer, and her precious baby Stellan. As you might know, the entire MckFamily has become more than just friends...they are like part of my own family! I love them each dearly. Therefore, that's who I would LOVE to send a card to right now.

Love the giveaway!! Thank you so much for doing this!! What a blessing to give to others!!

Jaye @ canadian-mom.ca said...

Hi Teresa! Your giveaway is such a good one! I love giving cards to people I love (I do a lot of "just thinking of you kinds") and this would be a terrific win! I think I'd start with a card to my mom because she's been so supportive these past 4 months (i have a 4month old son) - so yes, a definitely "friendship" card for her! It's great knowing she's one of my best friends :)
Anyways, the reason I popped in is because I was here through the UBP and I bookmarked your site as one that I wanted to return to. I'm glad I did! :) Take care,
Jaye

Kelly said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I've really enjoyed meeting so many new friends through the UBP!

I would love to win your box of cards! It sounds like some beautiful cards are included! I love sending cards to sick and discouraged people in my church. One lady has been on my heart lately because she just had to sell her childhood home. It's been very hard for her.

SkiptomyLou said...

Welcome to blogging! Your blog is really sweet! So easy to see how much you love and care for your family!

Thanks for a generous and useful giveaway!

Lindsay said...

This is my first time on your blog, it's super cute. The card boxes look really neat, what a great idea. The one person I have had on my mind lately is my mom. She is living alone right now and I am three states away. I think she would love a card from me.

Susan Christy said...

My best friend's mom - who is in a nursing home away from her family and is really lonely. I love sending her cards in hopes of bringing a smile to her face.

Abby said...

Thanks for visiting my blog. What a cute blog you have here and a great giveaway. That sounds like a great prize. I think I need to send a card to my friend Jana. She just had a baby and I haven't sent a card yet!

Christina - Rant Rave Roll said...

How adorable. I love "real" mail. I think my first card will go to a very close friend of my mother's who's husband passed away recently after a battle with cancer.

Tales From My Empty Nest said...

I thought I had already entered, but I guess I had just read your blog and not commented. Sorry. You are so sweet to bless 2 people with a wonderful prize. I recently won a prize and it came on the day of a death anniversary of a special person in my life. The prize was mailed out early and it was a God-thing that I received it that day. Thanks for blessing so many people with your beautiful blog. Love & blessings from NC!

Unknown said...

Thanks for posting on my blog. I would send the cards to all of my girlfriends. Hope I win. you can reach me at pjmasbury@hotmail.com

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment. I'm looking forward to reading more about your family and all your Disney trips. :)
As for the give-away... A few friends from church could use a card. I need to get on that. thanks for the reminder.
Jenny

TammieFay said...

Thanks so much for coming to see me! What a beautiful place you have here! I would send a card to my dearest friend Sarah. We and our husbands have been friends for over 25 years. Both our husbands are pastors and are experiencing much difficulty in ministry right now. She needs as much encouragement as I do!

Rachael Schirano \\ Rachael Schirano Photography said...

i have had so many people on my heart lately, but i have been thinking mostly of my sister.

Angela @ Nine More Months said...

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I would definitely like to send a card to MckMama and her family. I would also like to give a card to a girl who is learning how to sew and made my sons blankets, shirts, and more lovely things.

Thank you for doing this giveaway. You are very generous!

Jenny said...

Today I would want to send a card to my little brother, who just had surgery and could use a little pick me up.
And my grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimers but still likes to be remembered.

Jennifer said...

My grandparents who live across the country have been on my mind a lot lately. They are getting older, and I do not get to see them much, so the only correspondence that we have is via mail. They send me the sweetest cards all of the time!

Blessedw5mom said...

Wow! So glad I stumbled across your blog. I loved reading about each of your family members. How blessed those grandkids are to have such a great grandma!

The box you are giving away is gorgeous! I hope I win ;-)

I think someone already mentioned wanting to send a card to MckMama, http://www.mycharmingkids.net/
But that is who came to my mind too. I also love to write to my grandmothers. I guess I'm quite blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life that I would love to send cards to.

Oh my goodness. Lovely prize. Who should I send a card to? My friend Kim, who's husband lost his job. Sad friend, she is.

Thanks for inviting me! :) Stop back anytime!

Unknown said...

Hope I am not too late. I have had my Aunt R in my heart lately because she is taking time out of her own schedule to help my Nephew get to some important Dr appointments since he is a freshman to an out of state college and away from all other family.

Montana Mama said...

Hi Teresa! :) Thanks for stopping by my blog, it's really fun to make more friends! :)

And thanks for the chance to win a fun prize! As for who I would send a card to? I would probably send one to my older brother. He lives all the way across the country from any family, and he's having kind of a rough time lately. So I think a nice card could cheer him up. :)

Thanks again!

Penny said...

Thanks for visiting my blog! I love visitors but even more than that I love card sending. Cards to mend hearts are my favorite

The cards I send today will be to Jennifer (MckMama)
To Kristy to give praise for her healthy U/S. After two losses having that info is so comforting.
To a dear family that just lost a baby son that I have been praying for.
To baby Jonah for being so strong while he is healing.

valerie said...

Teresa,
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog.
I love blogging and have met some amazing women from all over the U.S. and beyond. I'm so happy to meet you!

I have had my son-in-law's grandmother on my heart yesterday and today. She made us that delicious dinner after we'd worked so hard after the swap meet and then during the night had to be admitted to the hospital .
She's home now, but I want to send her a card thanking her for being so thoughtful to cook us such a great dinner.

I'll be back to your blog too. I've been on a trip to Chicago and then gone again to help our kids out for three days with the swap meet.

Thanks again and whoever wins this gift will be blessed. That's so sweet of you!

God bless!
Valerie in Oklahoma

TIna said...

Oh this is absolutely lovely! I just came here via your comment on The Preacher's Wife's site ... as to who is on my mind that I would send a card to - that would be one our Pastor's wife who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

All God's best,

Beautiful! I love cards!

Unknown said...

What a great idea. I love sending cards. I would send one to my friend Carol who has cancer.

Dani said...

What a lovely idea! I just love cards - especially those with a heartfelt message. I decided that one of my new year's resolutions this year is to remember birthdays in my enormous family better so this would be a great thing for me! :) But, then again I could make my own- there are SO many entries for this already! Dani

Omah's Helping Hands said...
