The Hallmark Get Carded Challenge

When the package of Hallmark Greeting Cards arrived for my Get Carded Challenge, I knew I would have to wait until this month to send them out. I have so many special people with birthdays this month that there was no other choice.

I was asked to send a card to one person each day for a week, and then write about who I sent them to. This is what the selection of cards looked like:

The first card I sent was to my mother and father-in-law. The last time Fabgrandpa and I went to visit them, they gave us the good news that they were going to forgive a loan they made to us. I can not tell you how much of a relief it was for them to do that for us, and although I feel like just a card is not enough, Hallmark has such a way of saying things the way you mean them. I hope they know just how much we love them and appreciate everything they have done for us.

Next, I sent a Birthday card to my niece, Stefanie. She is turning 30 this year, and I know that can be a rough birthday for some people. I hope the funny Duck Dynasty card I sent her helps ease her into her third decade.

Stefanie will be 30 on November 7

My son, Seth, has the next birthday in this month, on November 14. He will be 42, and is planning to retire from the Air Force next year. I am really proud of him. Hope he has a wonderful birthday.

Seth, my son.
Seth, my son. I’m proud of you!

Then, on November 25 my daughter, Becca will be 40. She is living in Canada and has already had snow this year. I hope she has a happy, snowy birthday and I hope her card gets to her before her birthday.

Happy Birthday, Becca. I love you!
Happy Birthday, Becca. I love you!

The last birthday card I sent was to Adam, Stefanie’s husband. His birthday is November 27. My Mother’s birthday is on the 26th, and another niece and a nephew all have birthdays this month as well. It is really hard to remember them all!

My grandson, Spencer started middle school this year, and my grandson, Owen, started first grade. Those are two special occasions to remember, so I sent them both a back to school card. Their moms tell me that they love to get mail, so these cards will be fun for them.

I hope both boys have a great school year and learn new things every day. I don’t live near any of my special people, so sending letters and cards is one way to help keep communication open with them. Hallmark has card for just about any occasion you can think of, from serious to funny. Who would you send cards to if you were challenged to Get Carded?

    I LOVE Hallmark. When I was 18 I was a brand new Navy wife and Mom to Be and I got a job at a Hallmark store in the mall. It was absolutely my favorite job ever. I adored every moment I was there and still sometimes think about applying for holiday shifts at our local mall here. They always have the best cards, gifts, photo albums… LOVE LOVE LOVE Hallmark!

    (and WOW your November sounds like my July – half of the family has July birthdays LOL)

    Hallmark is one of my favorite stores! I would send cards to my parents, my siblings and my aunts.

    I didn’t know you could order Hallmark cards online – how convenient. I hope you family enjoys their cards. Duck Dynasty is a hoot!

    Oooh I need to order me up some Hallmark cards I think just to have on hand! Instead of running out to get a card when something pops up. And wow that is a lot of birthdays in one month!

    Hallmark is one of my favorite companies. I remember before internet existed they had stores in every city and I would get lost in there reading all the cards. It always seemed like there was one card that read what was going on in my brain and heart.

    Hallmark has the best cards — I love visiting the store in our local mall and was really really sad when the Hallmark store near us closed last year 🙁 I like that you can order cards online and send them right to your special people, so convenient!

    What a great way to celebrate special moments with someone. Nothing like getting a real card in the mail.
