Thank you for visiting my blog! Your blog is beautiful, and so is the card box! As for someone who has been on my mind lately, I have actually had alot of people on my mind lately who would love to recieve a card! I live 3-4 hrs from our nearest family member, and we will soon be moving further away from most of them due to a change in my dh's job position.
Thank you for the opportunity to win such a beautiful, thoughtful prize.
God Bless You,
Brandi
Hey Teresa, thanks for stopping by my site. Your prize for the Ultimate Blog Party is wonderful. I LOVE getting cards in the mail and I think it's a great way to encourage others.
It's great getting to know you!
Best,

Hi Teresa,
Thank You So much for stoping by "The Plate"...im kinda new in blog-land too..Im only working on my second yr.
Anyway, Its so nice to meet you!!
Youve got a great blog..Ill have to look around for a bit.
Oh, & please put my in you very first giveaway!!!-you can never have too many cards.
Helloooooooo!!!! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for your kind comments Teresa! It is delightful to meet you and see your beautiful blog. I will be a follower of yours from now on! Great give-away by the way. So practical too! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and I'll be in touch!! ~~Kim~~
Ok... I will answer this one... cause for me, this is the easiest question... the person on my heart that I would send a card to... is my daughter Shauna... my daughter I am yet to see and yet to find out where she is living... somewhere in China... that little girl is waiting for her mum and dad to travel to China to pick her up so that she can be part of a family... forever...
Thanks for dropping back to my site to say hi.. don't be a stranger...
You have a beautiful blog! I'm so glad you stopped by and left a comment trail for me to follow! :)
Your card box is beautiful! "Who WOULDN'T I give a card to?" is probably the better question for me.
A transplant to Indiana from Pennsylvania, I have all my friends and family (including Mom and Dad) whom I miss sometimes so much it hurts. Mom has no computer, so snail mail and phone calls are our chief way to stay connected.
I also have a dear cousin serving in Iraq who's safety we pray continually for.
Blessings
OMG my Mom in Italy!!!! I haven't seen my family in 4 tears and is pretty hard since i'm an only child... ok now i'm tearing up but this is really touching for me!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I have had my Guatemama friend Rhonda on my mind. She just had a terrible back surgery and is out of commission for the next 9 months! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Melissa
What a great giveaway! I am one that LOVES to send cards. I'm not so much into the e-cards that have taken over. I actually just bought a card to send to one of my old friends from High School. I haven't seen her in almost 15 years!
How pretty!! My sister is always in my heart and I would love to send her a card just to brighten her day.
( I think I just may, you gave me an idea)
A card box... that sounds like a great idea! Elizabeth has been on my mind, her husband died this past November, they had only been married for 8 or 9 months...
Blessings!
Just stopping by and what a great day to do it...you're having a wonderful giveaway!
I love cards and sending things by "snail mail." I'd put each and every card to good use.
A blogging friend is battling cancer and she has been on my mind and heart for months. A nice thinking of you card would be nice for her.
i'd send my friend jackie a card because i know she's always thrilled to get real mail
thanks for stopping by my blog.
sounds like a great giveaway.
I have actually been meaning to send my mom a card in the mail. I work 2 minutes from her house and try to talk to her on the phone as often as I can but because of how she's doing with her health I don't get to as often as I'd like and I'd love to send her a little pick me up card.
Hi Teresa, Thanks for visiting me at SandwichINK and inviting me here for your giveaway. What a fun contest. I have a couple of friends I don't get to see often who I would enjoy sending cards to. :)
Fun giveaway! I would send a card to my friends family. Their dad just passed away and they need anything right now to smile! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog! :)
I've had a dear friend on my heart lately, who has recently recovered from surgery, but still blessed me with a gift for my pregnancy. I need to send her a thank you/thinking of you card.
Your card box looks beautiful!
Blessings,
Michele :)
Thank you for the nice giveaway! I'd send a card to my girl friend, who just became a mom.

Glad you joined the party! Thanks for dropping by RefreshMoments. I'd send a card to DH's grandmother (in her 90's)...I still owe her photos of my boys!
Good morning! Thank for stopping by my blog and inviting me over to visit you! (I love your design, it is so pretty! I LOVE RIC RAC!) UBP09 has been SO MUCH FUN!
The Card Box is an incredible idea for a giveaway! You are right! Everyone needs one! In fact...my Sister's anniversary is coming up soon! She will have been married for THIRTY years! Yikes. I wasn't quite five yet when she married...so I only vaguely remember it! LOL :) Anyway! See you again soon!
What a lovely blog! Thanks for inviting us over to check it out. I would send a card to a friend who has been struggling tremendously. He is convinced that he is worthless & that God has no purpose for him in life, so he can use all the prayers & encouragement he can get.
Have a blessed day!
Hi there!
Thanks for popping in my world! So nice to meet you...and your blog is fantastic!
Hmmmmmm, I think I would send my mom a card. She and I don't have the best relationship and it might help mend things if I brighten her day with a card.
Peace
*~Michelle~*
Hello Teresa,
This is my first time to see your blog but I have spent the past 30 minutes reading back to the beginning and meeting all your sweet and beautiful family! Enjoyed it immensely!
I would love to win the Card Box. Have several people in mind that I want to send cards to.
May God bless you with a great week!
Marilyn
I have 2 people in my heart all the time, my daughter always and my mum. I like to send each of them cards every once in awhile just to let them know I am thinking of them. My daughter is in University so I don't see her very often and my mum lives an hour away. Plus, my mum's birthday is on March 28 so it's perfect timing to send her a card! Thanks for the chance to enter.
I love the card box idea! I have had a friend on my mind that somehow I lost contact with. I'm not sure what happened but she's been sitting on my brain for a week now.
P.S. Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope to hear more from you!
How fun that you are doing the blog party too! I would send the first card to the speaker from this weekend's retreat. I have been sending cards almost daily for "Eeveryday Epiphanies" so I would use these immediately! My supply is running low. Thanks for the opprotunity!!
I'd like to send a card to my best friend from high school. We don't talk as much as we should and I miss her!
Hi Teresa, Absolutely beautiful card box! I'd love to send my daughter-in-law, Cristi, a card since she is due to bring us our 8th grandchild (and 5th grandson) on or near April 6th. I know she has entered that extremely uncomfortable stage and could probably use a pick-me-up =). They live about an hour away so we don't see them as often as we would like.
I really enjoyed visiting your site today. I'm having so much fun visiting all the blog's participating in UBP 2009. I hope to make some new online friends, too! I'm a new follower.

Hi Teresa,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I so enjoy meeting new friends through the blog world. I am looking forward to reading your blog.
The card box is beautiful.
Cindy
I was encouraged by your sweet note when you stopped by my blog during the UBP. I have to say I've never been to your favorite place ... Disney! Can you believe it? :) But, I also love, love the verse you used on your header. What a wonderful truth!
Blessings!
- Julie
What a lovely gift. Thanks for the chance to win. I would send one each of my Aunts. They both live about 12 hours from me and both have some tough things going on in their lives right now. A card may lift their spirits a bit. :o)
Sorry, my blog link is...
http://my3wisemans.momblogcentral.com/
I came your way from Lysa TerKeurst's blog. What a nice prize you are giving away. I would send a card to a lady who was like a second mother to me during my college years. I haven't seen or spoke to her in many years and she has been on my mind. Thanks and God Bless!
Thanks for visiting my blog Teresa. Today I have my twin sister and her unborn baby boy on my heart today. I hope that the remaining 30 days of her pregnancy goes well. She received news last week that the baby has IUGR. She goes in for her second ultrasound to see how the baby is doing. I will continue to keep them both in my prayers and thoughts. The box of cards is great! I would love to send her a card in the mail versus an email. Getting mail is great from friends or family.
I'd send Kannis a card. She's dealing with a huge loss and now faced with attempting to become a single mom of two girls. she could use a good card to make her smile.
What a great idea for a giveaway.
My mum has been on my mind. She's been cancer free for a year and on Wednesday she'll be having a hip replaced. She's getting a lot of prayers and hugs from me.
I would love to win that box of cards! I have two secret sisters I would send cards to.
April
What a lovely giveaway! Thanks for inviting me to take part. I'm an absolute card addict! I've always loved sending cards. Hmmmm who has been on my heart lately...I would say my friend Susan. She and her family are moving to Raleigh, NC in a couple of months. She's excited, but sad about all the friends from here she'll miss.
Hope you get lots of visitors!
Blessings,
Tracy
wonderful gift and idea! i'd love to send my mom some anonymous, encouraging cards...she's the CEO of a women's/children's shelter here in indiana...she's constantly working to help rebuild the lives of those affected by domestic violence and could use some "building up" of her own from me :)
Thanks for stopping by! I'm looking forward to peeking around your blog from time to time. The card box is too cute! I'd send a card to my mom, because she's such a sap when it comes to sentimental stuff like that...LOL!
What a great giveaway idea!
I'd send a card to my Mother who lives a day's drive away. And a card to a friend who also moved away last year...a card to my 12 yr. old niece who is seeing a cardiologist...a card to a friend facing surgery this week...
Melanie@Bella~Mella
I love your blog! It's beautiful! Thank you for stopping by my blog. I hope that you will continue to come by.
My dad has been on my mind a lot lately. He had dementia and is not doing very well with the short term memory now. He's beginning to forget the names of my daughters (his grandkids) and because he lives in NC, I can't visit with him the way I'd like. I wish we lived closer together.
How much fun is this???!!!! I would love to send Patty an extra sweet card! Love that girl!
Hugs,
Fran
Thanks for letting me know! What a great giveaway! I'd like to send a card to all my Wednesday girls, as they're going to be meeting now without me...I'm moving to Texas!
Hugs friend,
Melinda
Hi Teresa! So nice to meet you. Thanks for coming over and saying hi. Isn't this a fun blog party?
You have a wonderful place here! And your giveaway looks awesome! I am excited to get to know you!
XOXO
Jen
What a great giveaway! I love the wrapping on that gift. I've had Iva on my heart lately and need to reach out to her and send her a card.
Hey girl;
Thanks for stopping by again. OOOOOH I luv cards! I luv to give them and I luv to receive them. Thanks for inviting me to participate.
Stayed tuned for Disney day 2.
I love cards ... sending cards and receiving cards! This sounds like an awesome giveaway and if I were chosen, the first person I would send a card to is my best friend from high school. We graduated together nearly 10 years ago. Last year, we both moved to different towns and actually, different states. I miss her and would love to let her know that I'm thinking of her!
Have a Happy MONDAY!
bobandanna_1@charter.net
I love sending cards!! You can always find an occasion to send one-thank you, congratulations, thinking of you.I love to make my own but don't always have time and your box is beautiful! I would send another card to our pastor,who dying of cancer,and his wife.
ps I love getting cards too! =)
Found your blog from Bring the Rain...very nice! I would love to win the card box! I have a big extended family, some out of town, who would all like to receive a snailmail card!
Oh, Mrs.Teresa, who wouldn't want one of your card boxes. You make the best gift baskets, and I love using the goodies in them! I would love to send a card to MkMamma and her family right now. They are in desperate need of prayers and encouragement. Also, I want you to know, you are making Dana's day with your wonderful cards : )
Teresa, I love your blog and your card box is beautiful. This is my first but not last stop by. I would love to send a card to a dear friend to encourage her.
What a great giveaway -- something everyone needs to be ready to send a card when inspiration strikes! I would like to send a card to my blog friend Melanie, who is such a blessing to me.
FUN!
I came over from 3girlsmom (Robyn) where you had left a comment.
I would send a card to my grandmother because I don't feel like I've been a very good granddaughter and at least she'd know I'm thinking of her.
(Your blog is very cute!)
Hi, I love your idea of card box giveaway. I'm a card giver and also love to get cards of encouragements..You can go back and reread the words when going thru home situations. I always add a scripture or two. in fact On Prov 3:5-6, I explained how to write key words of each sentence on each 4 fingers and Prov 3:5-6 on thumb...go thru your day memorizing the scripture until it is engraved in your heart. Hope I win the cards. Thanks again for your giving heart to other women..I am mentoring a young woman in our church who has two boys with anger problems..she is now journaling using scripture for help in counseling her sons. God is so good!
Thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello and telling me about this wonderful giveaway. First, your have a beautiful blog also. I look forward to getting to know you better.
Second, thank you for a fun giveaway. I am not a big fan of those giveaways that make bloggers do a bunch of "points" to win.
Third, this card box is simply gorgeous. I love sending beautiful cards to others. For I know getting something personlized in the mail can do so much for someone.
There is a blogger friend of mine that I hope to one day meet. She has become a blogger sister if you will. I would love to surprise her with a card in the mail. We often communicate via email. We want to figure out a way I can come up and photograph her birth of her second child. We hope to make this happen. I am so excited for her, and have said so many times...but I have yet had the opportunity to send her a special card in the mail. So this will give me no reason to delay any longer.
Thanks so much for this opportunity and now lets see if I get to be lucky for once. I have yet to win anything on these blogging give aways.
By the way I am going to be a guest host on Angies blog, 7CircusClowns. I am giving away a pretty neat giveaway in that post on HER blog on March 30th. So be sure to stop by my blog, I will remind and mention the giveaway to everyone that day.
God Bless and thanks again for saying hello....always glad to get a new hello.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I write letters to my grandmother so I definitely would send her a nice card in the mail.
Beautiful giveaway! One that the winner can share with many people.
I would send a card to my sister who was recently in a motorcycle accident and a card to a neighbor whose husband is dying of cancer.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Hi,I came here from Angie's blog (Bring the Rain) and am a first time reader; I was very moved by the story of Amanda and Parker. As the Grandma of 4 and Mom of 2 I agree that Grandparenting is the best. I would love to send a card to my grandson Harvest who lives with his Mom in upstate New York (I am in So.California). My other card would go to Jennifer (My Charming Kids) whose 6 month old Stellan is in the hospital with a heart beat of about 300 and the Drs. are so far (24hrs) unable to correct it. I only know her from her blog, but she and Angie both touch my heart every day. Thanks for a beautiful blog site.
Love your blog! Back for a second visit. And I've been thinking about my Dominican Republic mission friends. Please visit my site sometime!
Blessings,
Lisa
Hi there! I found you and your adorable blog through my friend, Sheryl's (The Perch). I would definitely send her a card if I won to give her a little pick-me-up. I pray for her so much. I would also send one to my Grammy who is now 92 years old and in the beginning stages of dementia. She has two daughters, my mom and my aunt. My mom passed away almost 4 years ago now and my aunt just got married and moved about 45 minutes away from Gram, so she's been very lonely. Anyway, thanks for this sweet opportunity and for making it simple by only having us leave a comment and not a million other things. :) God bless!!!
Love your site! And I've had Nancy on my heart lately -- hey, I think I'll send her a card today. And if I win, I can send her another one!!
Thanks for the invitation to stop by and enter your giveaway Teresa. This is a fabulous idea, who doesn't need a nice stash of cards? I know plenty of people I want to send to, it's the follow through that trips me up! You have a beautiful family, a fun blog and I have enjoyed meeting you today!
well, well, well...look at you with all these comments. how exciting!! one of my favorite things is to send notes to people. i don't know who i would send one to - maybe someone that i've met out here in the blog world.
i'm proud of you, way to go!!
What a beautiful give-away.
I'm guessing that Canadians can't enter...but...just in case...I sure could use some 'thank you' cards right now. I have four friends I would like to encourage - Carol, Karyn, Andrea and Eithne.
Such a sweet idea.
Blessings,
Joy
Would LOVE to win- beautiful!
I have a friend who lives too far away, but always sends great cards and I'd love to return the favor. With two small children, it's always difficult to linger anywhere... especially the card isles at Hallmark. :)
Teresa: Thank you for stopping by my blog "Gran Jan's Joy!" Yes - I believe we are kindred grammies :)
I love to send cards...I love email, blogging, Facebook - but NOTHING takes the place of a walk to the mailbox to find a handwritten card or note!
My baby sister's birthday is coming up next month and she is very special to me - so she needs a card!
In His Love,
Georgia Jan
I found you through Home Sanctuary and have really enjoyed peaking through your posts! I too enjoy sending cards, and my new friend Mrs. S. could really use a heartfelt one right now - she just moved last summer, lost a baby in the fall, her daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and her hubby is about to be deployed! In fact, I think I'll go get out a card to send right now - thanks for the inspiration!
You've been married 37 years? WOW! That's great. Ut oh... I got a little distracted by that. Let's see the answer to your question: Who has been on my mind? I would say my family - grandmother, mother, aunts. It would be nice to mail them a card to let each of them know I've been thinking about them.
Thanks for coming by my blog and welcome to the blogging world. Happy party week. :)
My friends Amy and Joe are on my heart this week. They are considering divorce and I am praying that they will be able to work through this hard time with faith and a lot of hard work. Having recently been through a divorce myself and having a young child like they do, I know how hard it is and pray that they don't have to go through the same thing. I would send them an encouragement card to remind them that there are people out there that care.
What a sweet idea! I would send a card to my grandmother who is 89. Just a week ago today she had to move into a nursing home because she has lost the use of her legs due to "post-polio syndrome". I have been thinking I need to write her!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll come again soon.
I would like to send one to my best friend in Ohio. She has the biggest heart of anyone I ever met.
Oh my goodness! Your boxes are GORGEOUS! I would be honored to win one!

Teresa,
Nice blog site. But seriously, do you really think Favre is done? He'll be back. This time he'll wait until June to change his mind, but he'll be back. : )
I just left a comment on the party comment section but wanted to add more here. Along with the other common likes we have, Disneyworld and more. As I said, I am a new blogger and really like your site and the name of granny girlfriend. My card would go to my mom. She is my granny girlfriend. She is my best friend. She is my true inspiration and strength and the more I really get to know her, the more I love her. She has been married to my dad for 54 years, has 5 kids, 13 grandkids and 6 greats with 2 more on the way. She always has time for all of us and has never stopped being a mommy. My card of thanks would go to her. I look forward to following you. Thanks so much.
Teresa,
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. This is an awesome gift!! I have had my mind on Baby Stellan from http://mycharmingkids.net for a while now. I would probably send him and MckMamma a card:)
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hey There Teresa,
Thanks for stopping over in Mel's World to let me know about your bloggy home and your give away!
I love it!
I am a BIG TIME card giver and love to encouage people with little notes to care for them. I would love to be in on this giveaway...thanks for the heads up!
Have a great day!
Melissa in Mel's World
Welcome to the blogging world - I enjoyed my visit here, catching up with you and meeting your family. I'm just today sending a card to my oldest daughter, to thank her for teaching me to knit 1 1/2 years ago.
Teresa, I'm honored that you let me know you're a regular reader and gave me the chance to enter your contest. I would LOVE to receive this box. I am currently regularly sending cards to two friends who are battling cancer. Jim and Diane.
Although I love the internet and e-mail, there is nothing better than going to the mailbox and getting a card in the mail from someone!
My heart has been heavy thinking and praying for a friend of mine who wants to end her marriage. Many, many difficult years. I have been trying to send her a card every few weeks to remind her of what she does have in life. Would love to win your giveaway!!
Diana in GA
Thanks for stopping by my blog. What a great giveaway! I would send a bunch of cards to my sister-in-law. She is always sending us cards.
Have a great day!
Susan
Hello Teresa, I saw your comments on another site and decided I'd drop in to welcome you to the blogging community. No need to enter me in your give-away (though it's awesome!!), I just wanted to connect ... one grandma to another.
Be blessed,
Kathleen
Thanks so much for stopping by my site! I love your blog!
I'd love to be entered for the giveaway. The first person to whom I'd send a card would be my former neighbor. Her kids were right around my daughter's age, and we had such a great time together. She moved away last year and she's been pretty stressed, with family health issues and her husband's employment. I pray for her, and we write, but I know she'd love a pretty card in the mail! =)

Hi, Teresa!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog - I'm so glad that I got the chance to visit yours!
I would definitely send one to my friend Gina, whose Mom is dying of cancer. Gina is also getting married in a month (in which my toddler will be her flower girl), so she has a LOT of stress on her, between her Mom's chemo/sickness and wedding planning.
Teresa - WAY TO GO SWEET FRIEND!
what a wonderful sight your
always creative mind has set in place. The box is LOVELY - and a
a gift in & of itself. I know-
you have sent me one from time
to time!
If I won this box, I would donate
it to a place locally known as
"THE BRIDGE" - a safe haven for
abused women and children.
I am so proud we have been friends for over 25 years!
Hugs, patti
Hi Teresa ~ I found your blog from Kelly and Harper's blog and wanted to run over and say 'hi'! Come visit me when you have time!
I'd love to be entered into your giveaway! I would definitely use your cards for my friends here at work...they're the best!
Hugz,
Michele
What a wonderful gift and all those cards, oh my! The one person who has been on my mind lately is a friend (Kathy) that lost her husband to cancer last year and I would definitely send her a card to letting her know that she is on my mind.

I saw your comment over at The Preacher's Wife and thought I would drop by and check out your blog. What a cool occupation! Decorating homes for Christmas...I think you might have my ideal job!!
I was in San Antonio as well, and I'm glad that you've joined the blogging world.
As for someone who has been on my heart, it has to be my cousin who is battling substance abuse. I know she could use some encouragement! Thanks for hosting such a generous giveaway!
Xandra
This is such a wonderful giveaway! Thanks so much for this opportunity. You have such an amazing heart!
The person on my mind is my friend Laura. She is my inspiration
Julie
What a neat idea! Great job on your first giveaway!
I would love to send a card to my little sister!
Hi, Teresa! You have a beautiful blog and I'll be stopping in to see you again soon. It's great to meet you. My friend Sharon has been on my mind lately. She just lost her mom, who's been sick for quite awhile. Thanks for reminding me that I need to let her know I'm thinking of her.
Hey there! First time visitor here! I could really use the Card Box!lol I HATE going to the store to pick out cards..the one person I'd love to send a card to right now though is my sister. She's going through alot and I'd like her to know I'm praying for her...
Hi Teresa~ Thanks for visiting Smelling Coffee, and for letting me know about your wonderful giveaway. The box is beautiful, and definitely will be a blessing.
Today, my friend Carolyn, is on my mind. She recently had a birthday and I missed it. I'm planning on getting her a card in the mail today. :-)
Your blog is great - and your family is beautiful! Blessings to you...
Jennifer
Hi, I came to say hi from the blog party, then I saw this great giveaway. The bow on that "card box" is beautiful! I'm horrible at wrapping gifts, so I'm always drawn to pretty packages. I have had two people on my mind lately. One is a friend from a Christian School Co-op who is the mom of two young girls. She was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 months ago. At first everyone was very supportive, bringing food for the family and sending cards. That's sort of dwindled now, but I want her to know she's still being thought about and prayed for. The other person I'm thinking about is a very close friend who has just finished chemo. It seems like cancer is everywhere these days. Thanks for the generous giveaway.

What a nice idea! On my mind is my dad, who just had heart surgery.
Thanks for doing the contest, it's such a sweet giveaway!
It is hard to select someone to send a card to, since there are so many. I think I would like to send a card to my friend's father who is battling a horrible disease. He was a role model of what a dad should be when I was growing up. I think these are things I should share with him.
A dear sister-in-the-Lord and ministry partner of mine is going through a very tough time. Her husband has filed for divorce after over 20 years and she is left feeling empty and unloved, betrayed, the list goes on. She on my heart daily!! I would love to send her a card a week and now that you mentioned it, I think I will!!! Whether I win or not, this lady is very important to me and sometimes a card just does the trick. I text, call, and email but a card is something that can be relished!
Chel
Wow that is a great giveaway!!! Congrats on your first time and thank you for stopping by my blog. Have a wonderful day and have fun with your contest.
Hi there! You stopped by to see me, so I stopped by to see you! And I am so loving your blog gift giveaway! Put me in that pile... You have such a wonderful family in your pics and seem to be an inspiration to many!
I'm not sure who I'd send a card to since I'm usually just inspired when I sit down to write in the moment but it would be a pleasure to give whoever it was a little cheer in the mail!
what a generous and most useful giveaway thanks
Thanks for hopping by my blog. You're card box is adorable! I love to send cards, and just wrote one out to my Grandma, who has been in the hospital recovering from a hip replacement surgery.
I'd love to send a card to a dear friend who lives far away and has had a hard time lately.
What a lovely box, and what a lovely idea. I've had a dear friend on my mind lately. She went through a divorce a few years ago and pushed our friendship to the side, but I'm feeling like now if the time to reach out to her again. You've inspired me to do just that! Thank you!
I saw your comment on Linda's blog (2nd Cup of Coffee) and thought I'd drop over and say hi. Welcome to the blog world! I'd love to participate in your card box give away. The box is gorgeous! I look forward to reading more of your posts. Blessings.
I would love to win this beautiful box. My sister-in-law has been on my mind lately and we don't communicate very often even though she is a lovely woman-so I would like to send a card to her.
That's an easy question; I'd like to send a card to my son, who is living in Japan with his lovely wife, who's in the US Air Force. I miss him a lot. asthenight at gmail dot com
Thanks for coming to my blog! What an amazing gift..and definitely something I could use! I love to send cards, and never have any on hand.
I would send a card to my dear friend who just lost her baby. I keep meaning to pick one up, but haven't had a chance to get to the store yet. Tomorrow.
I saw your post over on Denise's blog and had to check out your blog. What a great giveaway! I have been thinking of a dear friend who lives several hours away and is expecting her 3rd child...so I'd send a special card to her.
I love your comment, "Giving is life at it's best" You are so sweet!
What a wonderful gift for some lucky reader. You are very generous!
Thank you for visiting my blog!
I love your card box, it is very beautiful.
The one person that is always on my mind is my Mom, who lives very far away from me. My Mom is terminally ill. I call her every day. But she would love to get a card, and I would have my four year old daughter Kerri sign her name and make a drawing for her. I know she would treasure it!
I would love to send a card to my father. He is going through a hard time. I call often to keep his spirits up! What a great prize:)
I've stopped in before and read about your husband and son. Just finished reading about your daughter. What an amzaing post that was!
I live overseas so the list of people I'd love to send a card to is endless. However if I win the box I think I'd like to send the whole thing to my sweet sister in South Carolina. She's thoughtful and generous and helps me in a million ways as my two college aged daughters are only 20 minutes from her. The peace of mind I have from knowing she is nearby is priceless. She'd love a card box and loves to do nice things for other people. I'd like her to have the whole beautiful box.
WOW that's a LOT of comments!
What a great gift idea!!! Everyone could use a card box!!!
Thank you for stopping by and sharing in my rejoicing over my precious son!!!
Your blog is so cute! Love the polka dots!!!
I would send a card to a friend that I recently got in touch with after 13 years :)
Thank you for stopping by my blog! I so enjoyed my visit here. I got kind of hooked to reading it and read the past several posts. I especialoly enjoyed the post you wrote about your daughter. It was so touching! I work at a crisis pregnancy center, so I was especially interested in this story.
Your giveaway sounds womderful. I love sending cards and would probably send one to my mom, who lives about 500 miles away from me.
Thanks for stopping by my site! I grew up near ElDorado & we went to Shreveport all the time.
I'd love to win a card box b/c I love sending "snail mail". It's so fun to have something other than bills in your mailbox!
Hi Teresa, your blog is beautiful. I love the concept of the box.In this day and age of ecards...what a welcome change! I would love to win the box and send some encouragement cards out to people who have touched our lives in little ways....like my postman(he's featured on my blog.....http://energizerbunnysmommyreports.blogspot.com/) and my mom for being the best mom God could have given. The list is endless....really hope the box swings out here :> God bless and all the best on your blog again!
Thanks for the fun giveaway! I would love to win this - I'd give it to a lady in my church who sends out cards whenever someone is sick.
Crossing my fingers!
Wonderful giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win those lovely boxes! I would send my first card to a friend who is far away from me, and has been going through many trials with her kids and her commitments lately. I think she could use a pick-me-up! :-)
Thanks for the kind comment you left on my blog. Your blog is great..love it! I would love to enter you giveaway. I think I would send a card to my sister and tell her how much she means to me (although I think she knows). She has had a difficult week though so she would be the one I pick! Thanks Again!!
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting on my blog. It's so nice to meet you!
Love the card box idea. I have one started - but I need some new cards in it, so this would be perfect.
The one person on my mind whom I would like to send a card to this week is my friend's 16 year old daughter who just accepted Christ on Sunday night. We have been praying for her for a long time - and she finally let go and let God! So exciting!
My daughter is world famous for writing notes. She would love this, and I think she'll love her blog.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for visiting blessedby3mircles.blogspot.com I apprecite you giveaway. We could all use this box that is for sure, it is beautiful.. You are a treasure.
Your gifts are beautiful! I am enjoying getting to know others via the UBP... God's Richest Blessings! <><
I stumbled onto your blog looking for other Gram's or Grammy's who blog and saw your give away. Love the site, I am a new Gram - Kaiden was born in February and I am loving every minute of it. The person I have on my heart today is Marilyn, my friend of 40 years who is having several health issues and is the sweetest person I know. Helen aka Gram
I found your site while reading about Denise's bottle and pee adventures. I am the mom of a one year old and am in the first trimester exhaustion phase of my second pregnancy. I can barely remember my vitamins, let alone cards and have barely enough energy to make it home after work. A box of cards at hand would really help me out in trying to keep up with all of the occasions... I would send a belated birthday card to my best friend whose birthday I missed for the first time in 10 years. Luckily she's also pregnant and understands...
Debbie
Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog...I want to be in the drawing....I would send a letter to my brother!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I am enjoying looking around at yours as well!
Let's see I have a lot of people on my mind to send cards to recently, I have a girlfriend (Amina) in CA that is pg that I catch up usually more via cards. There is also a friend of mine (Angi) needing some serious encouragement that I thought of recently to send her a card but didn't have one onhand that felt like the right thing.
I totally agree with your comment that giving is life at its best! :)
Thank you for visitng Phoenix's blog. What a great give away. Right now I would love to be able to send MkMamma a card! Her little Stellan is in the hospital struggling. I know what it's like to be scared for your baby.
Again thank you for the kind words, I'll be stopping by!
Angela
I would send them to my mom who is always in my thoughts.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Wow, Teresa. I wanted to stop by to welcome you to Bloggityville and look at you, with all these comments.
Welcome to Bloggityville! LOL
And thank you for the chance to win such a nice gift. :-)
Teresa,
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog yesterday and for your comment. I love your box that you're giving away! That is so pretty!!
If I were to send someone a card today, it would be to my friend Jennifer. She has always been there for me and I hope to always be the same for her.
Happy U.B.P!! Thanks for stopping by God's Shining Stars for the party! If I had to send a card it would be to a co-worker who just lost a loved one. Thanks!!
Jen
Wow! I love cards. I have a bunch of people in my neighborhood who have recently had injuries or surgeries. A nice get well card would be fun.
what a very nice prize package you have here!!! wow.
i have had two pretty close friends have miscarriages in the past two weeks so i would send them both another card.
thanks again for offering such a nice prize
wow! wouldn't i love to win that!
I'd actually send one to my friend Marilyn whose hubby is going off to Iraq in a bit...
Thank you for your comments on my blog. Glad I make you laugh. You are a good encourager.
I would send a card to my friend Beth in Seattle.
I love cards.
Hello Grammy,
I am Grammy too.....in fact I am a Grammy to an Austin just like you are.... and I have a new grandson arriving the end of May or early June. He will be my 12th. Being Grammy is so much fun.
We are much alike...except I am older... hubby and I will celebrate our 44th anniversary in July. We are retired and having great fun.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and inviting me to yours. For a new blogger you surely are popular!!!! Wow, 141 comments!!!! Good for you. Your blog header is beautiful. Welcome to blog world. I just know that we will become good friends.
thanks for stopping by my painting blog! I would love to win your cards and would send one to my future sister in law. My brother is serving his 3rd term in Kuwait with the US Air Force. She could use some encouragement! Blessings!
Yeah! Maybe I will win???? Sure hope so.
Thanks for all of your visits while I was on my trip. We stayed so busy that my computer time was taken up with doing a post each day and downloading my photos. It sure feels good to be home and able to blog again.
Hugs!
Kat
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. The one person I have had on my mind lately is my sister in law. She is in the process of moving away from where we live, and because I am going to miss her so much, I pulled away emotionally a little. I just would love to send her a card telling her how much I love her and am going to miss her but how I know we'll keep in touch.
I would love to send a card to McKmama, from mycharmingkids.net.
What a lovely giveaway
I would love to send my friend Karyn a card. She is getting ready to go in for another back surgery so they can insert rods the complete length of her spine. She needs a pick me up I am sure.
Neat giveaway! I would send a card to my friend Heather who just had a baby!
I love your blog and the card box. I have been thinking about our two Compassion International children we sponsor and that I need to send them a card.
What an awesome gift and one that I would greatly use! I just ran out a few minutes ago to purchase a birthday card for a friend!
One of the people that I have had on my heart that I would love to send a card to is a family friend that had Melanoma which has now metastasized to other areas of his body and he has been given less than 6 months to live. His children and my children were childhood friends and we have known their family for some 30 years.
Thank you for having such a great giveaway!
WOW! I'm #151. That's incredible. I would love to surprise my dear friend w/a card. She made meals and brought them to me while I was enduring chemo treatments. I was honored and humbled by her generosity. Blessings, SusanD
What a fabulous gift!! I would love to win your giveaway! A person I've had on my heart lately is a good friend, Judy. She was one of those women I always looked up to as young woman in college and beyond, and over the years we have lost touch with any consistency. I've been thinking of her so much in the past week or two, and would love to drop her a note.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment - I hope you'll come back and read more. I'm glad, too, because now I have found your blog as a result! I've added it to my reader so I can keep up-to-date!
Have a great week!
Hi, what a lovely idea this is! My best friend, who lives 300 miles away from me, just lost her father to brain cancer. She's on my mind and in my heart every day. I'm disabled, so I can't travel to her. Cards are doing the traveling for me. :) I'd love for you to check out my blog.
What an absolutely beautiful box to give away and such a thoughtful one as well! Too many times we just zip off an email to someone and forget that all important moment when you open up your mailbox and there is a card for you. Somebody was thinking about YOU. There's no feeling in the world like it.
I personally would love to win this to send some cards to my uncle in Florida, my uncle in Maryland, a friend in Florida, and another in Michigan who is going through some really tough health issues. Just to let them know, "I love you and I was thinking about you today."
Hugs,
Kim

Teresa I was so touched that you stopped by my blog! I am glad to hear you like my header- I made it myself. Tell ya what- you give me your e-mail address and I will send you a few :D Hope all is well- loved learning about you on your blog!
If you don't feel comfortable putting your address on my blog in a comment send it here rachelsjunk@yahoo.com- Thanks! It's not my regular e-mail, don't be mislead by the name :D
What a lovely giveaway. I have so much enjoyed all your posts introducing your sweet family and seeing your heart. As far as someone coming to mind to send a card...I always have lots on my mind, unfortunately my follow through isn't what it should be.
Wow! What a prize. Amazing. It would go to good use here.
My sis in law just had her third baby and she is really struggling. A simple card might help her trudge through her days.
Many thanks!!!
Hello, thanks for dropping by my blog! Your card box looks beautiful :) What a great idea, too. It is so important to find tangible ways to keep in touch with one another in an era of electronic commumnication. My husband and I just moved across the country, away from ALL of our family and friends, so there are MANY people I could send a card to!!
Beautiful blog. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Thanks for stopping by my blog! I have all of my family in AZ while I'm in UT and have some brothers going through some rough times and would love just to send them my love! My Mom also is the GREATEST person ever and I would love to let her know that!
hi Teresa
I always love a good party! Happy UBP ‘09.I am visiting from The Ultimate Blog Party to say hello and to check out your blog. I've had a fun week!!
I would send a card to a blogger friend Jenn @Jenn's Den because she had a miscarriage last week .She also received some other news that may affect her future ability to carry her babies to term. She has been on my heart the last few days.I'd love to cheer her up with this special gift.
if I win I would ask you to send the prize to her (I am in Australia unfortunately for me and she is in the US) She has been a very kind & loyal bloggy friend to me.
Goodluck on winning a prize yourself.
Cheers
TrishMy Little Drummer Boys
Hi! ITs nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. I look forward to getting to know you through your blog.
Your gifts are beautiful.
One person I would like to send a card to is my Grandma. She has always been there for me, and shes been feeling a little depressed lately after having a knee replacement, so she definitely needs some encouragement.
I hope you have a terrific Thursday!
What a beautiful blog, and an awesome gift to give! I have a pen pal in Oregon and it's been a refreshing change to write instead of always e-mailing or texting. This one person has made me more conscious of the gift of letters in the mail box,and I am planning to start sending my grandmother and my friend Jen a card every Saturday. Mama because she lives alone and we are so far away, and Jen because she tirelessly serves her family, prays for others, and has a joy that never ceases (and she needs to know we appreciate her!). Thanks for doing this!!! God bless =)
Thank you for visiting my blog-I was happy to meet you! Please enter me in your giveaway-I LOVE card, and I am always running out of them!
I also LOVE your scripture in your header-so true!
Hi Teresa! Nice to meet you! What a great idea. I would love to send a card to my friend Julie to let her know what an awesome friend she has been to me as she kept praying for me to turn to God, and when I did, took me into her home and helped me get my life turned around..and now is one of the people I am closest to..we have the best time together! I have told her thanks lots of times but I think a card would be nice! Thanks for hosting a fun giveaway!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. My mother is a "grammy" too.
What a cute idea for a giveaway! Count me in! Maybe I will win! LOL! There is a girl that is in my small group at church that is going through a really hard time with her husband. I would love to send her a card.
Once again, thanks for stopping by!
Wow what a fun and pretty looking blog! I'd love to enter your giveaway. =) Thank you!!
Jenn
The card box that you are giving away looks great. I would love to send a card to Aunt Ellen.
What a sweet thing for you to do! How fun! Goodness...I'm a card-a-holic! I have a friend who just lost their mother, so I will be sending one to her today....I send birthday cards to everyone I ever meet..haha....I want to send one to an old high school friend to let her know I'm thinking about her....man, the list could go on and on... :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and I look forward to reading more of yours!!!
Blessings,
Summer
Nice to meet you, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
This is such a great idea, and I actually have a card box at home too, although I really need to restock it. We have a lot of April birthdays coming up, so I'll be sending out many of those. I'd also love to send a thank you card to someone who sent me something really special recently.
I have my sister in mind, and will be sending her a card. I can't imagine being in a drawing with over 170 entries and even having a chance, but here's to taking one!
Cute blog.
What a pretty box. I would love to send a card to my Sister-in-law. My neice is getting married in June. My poor SIL is so stressed trying to plan things and working to help pay for the wedding. I really wish that she wouldn't push herself so hard.
I recently moved away from my home state so this would be perfect for keeping in touch. I miss my family tons and would love to send my grandmothers especially a nice thinking of you card. :)
Hi there! I am so happy to have found your blog! I love the gift basket. How creative :) My mom has really been on my mind lately as she has been a godsend during my first two months after having a baby. She brings us dinner and lunch and goes out to get things I need. I could not have made it without her!! Thanks again for sharing your site :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. FUnny, when I looked at your profile, I noticed you are in my hometown! My mom and a sister still live there.
Looks like a great giveaway!
How pretty, thanks for the heads up!
Hi there, I’m stopping by from the UBP. It’s nice to meet you! What a wonderful giveaway! I'd love to send my Grandmother a card, we don't get to see her very often.
I’m giving away a beautiful necklace on my blog- if you want to check it out! annejensenfamily.blogspot.com
What a great family you have! Thanks for commenting on my blog. I would love to send my mom a card. She lives far away from me and I get to see her only once a year.
Just stopping by and girl you have my dream job!! My boys have always said that they would love to go around and decorate the outside of peoples houses, I could junk up the inside easy!!
I love all boxes!! And there is a person at church I need to send a card to, well actually there are a number of people at church I need to send cards to!!
Hi, I am out party hopping, I am almost to pooped to hop much farther. I love the Card Box, I actually made one of these similar for my mom and a friend a couple of years ago, Filled with cards that I had gotten at the gift shop I worked at, they were clearanced to 10 for a $1.00 because we were not going to carry them anymore. I also included new address books, and Stamps.. Problem is my mom sends cards constantly,she recieves tons of cards as she is ill and she has a huge family and tons of friends. She is out of the cards I bought and we are now buying them. Whoo wee not 10 for $1.00 anymore.
Have fun at the party, I have a Surprise Door Prize giveaway on my blog, stop by if you have the chance.
I love the card box and I would send a card to my best friend Holly who is having a rough time.
Hello; what a wonderful give away. Thank you for your generousity!
If I win I will send the most beautiful card to my best girl friend whose husband lost his job yesterday.
I'd love to be included in the drawing. I write several notes each week to people listed in our church bulletin who are facing surgery, illness, etc., plus I have several pen friends. And then there's family and friends. I keep the post office in business! lol!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I have enjoyed visiting your blog tonight as well.
Please include me in the drawing, I would love to send my best friend, Cari one of them.
Precious site. Honestly, I would give the box to my mom who is 85 and keeps in touch with her friends by cards.
Please stop by my site, http://passionateforlife.com/magazine
And share your passions with us.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your verse at the top, it is my favorite too!
I would love to win a card box. I have a little girl that is a sister to one of my girl scouts that is 7 years old and just found out she has cancer. It has been on my heart to flood her with cards of love while she is facing this trial! The card box would come in very handy!
I look forward to reading your blog!

Hi, I came over from Call me Grammy. I also blog as Grammy so I had to say hi. Just in time for a contest. I need to send cards to lots of people... thank yous for my BD, but I have been thinking of my MIL this week and should send her a card.
Thanks for visiting my blog!! I love sending out cards to my grandparents (with pics of their great-granddaughter) every month or two, as they live far away and I know it brightens their day!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I live far away from many of my friends and all of my family, so some cards would be great. Your card box looks beautiful and I can't believe you're giving away TWO of them! I've never won any of the blog giveaways I've entered, so maybe I'll get lucky here! :)
Thank you kindly for the giveaway! The card box is beautiful! I'd love to send a card to my mother in law.
Thank you for coming and visiting my blog! I love new bloggy friends. :-)
Right now, I'd LOVE to send a card to MckMama, just to let her know I'm thinking of her, and praying for Sweet Stellan!
What an awesome giveaway...and I'd have to say my dad after two surgeries and getting laid off all in a couple months.
What a great giveaway! I love cards and send them often to friends and family.
I have a friend who has been having some health problems lately who has been on my heart and mind the past few weeks! I would love to encourage her with one of your cards.
I will be back to visit again soon. Thank you for blessing my life by visiting my blog!
What a wonderful giveaway. I would send a card to my mom. We see each other all the time, but it's always nice to send and get cards. (simplysweethome@hotmail.com)
what a great idea! I would send the box to my great aunt. She is 94 and loves to have cards on hand for her friends and relatives. Great idea!
Nice to meet you through UBP!
Cheers,
Thanks so much for visiting my blog! What a wonderful gift you are giving away! I am always a late card sender and this seems like a perfect gift for me;)
YOu have a beautiful blog...take care!
Hey there! I love your site. I found it off of a friend's site. Your give away is SO cool! I LOVE cards and have spent my life always sending cards to encourage people. It is a gift that God has put on my heart...to encourage people.
Someone on my heart who I would send a card to is my cousin Fallon...she is quite an amazing woman of God.
Thanks for your giveaway!

Whoa Mama! What a beautiful box and bow! I hope I'm not too late to enter. I've had my 83 year old aunt on my mind this past week. She's been hospitalized twice this last month with pancreatitus.
I've been following the story of a little boy named Stellan who has been having heart problems. (you can check out his story here. www.mycharmingkids.net) the story is amazing. I've been wanting to send this family a card. i would also send my sister in law a card... she just lost her best friend to brain cancer.
thanks for offering this up.

Just wanted to stop by for the party and say hello and enter your giveaway. Thanks for offering it.
It seems like everyone is getting away from sending cards. That is one thing that I love to do is send cards and get them.
Thanks again for the offer!
I read you post just prior and enjoyed it. It's so nice that you are apart of the blog party. I want to throw my hat in the ring and enter your giveaway. Your boxes are beautiful. I wish you well. Blessings!
Good morning. I just wanted to stop by and say hi and please enter me into your drawing. I found your link on my friend's blog and had to come see what all the fuss was about. :) It's a beautiful box!
BTW, your blog page is super cute! Polka-dots make me smile.
Have a good day and God bless!
