Reasons for Mail...

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping in for this week's Reasons for Mail. Before we get started, I have some super exciting news...

I am honored to share with you that I have been selected to join Piggy Tales Academy Design Team.  I've been a fan of their product for several years now and am thrilled that I will have the opportunity to work with such a fun company over the next year! Thank you Piggy Tales!

So in celebration of this big event, today's Reasons for Mail card is created with one of my favorite Piggy Tales collections, Beauty and the Beast.

I love making cards without a sentiment... it allows one to include a favorite quote, handwrite something inside (nothing beats receiving a handwritten message) and send it off. Here is the quote I have in this one...

One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything. 

- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Be wise, be strong dear friends! Have a great weekend:)
