The Four Seasons...a note card collection

Remember the old days when we used to send cards through the mail?
I still do occasionally but it seems it's nearly a thing of the past.



This is my first link up to Vee's Note Card Party and I'm SO excited!
Right away, I thought of making a "box" of cards for every season.

I didn't realize how many photos I had taken throughout the years...
...it was not an easy task to decide which ones to pick!


Winter...


spring...


summer...


or fall...

...all you gotta do is call...and I WILL be there.

Yep...you know the rest.

'Cause you got a friend :)

      Thank you, Vee! And thank you for hosting these great parties! Where do I go to see other's posts? When I go to your blog, I don't to see a link where others have joined in. What am I doing wrong?

      The best tip I can give you is to follow those who have commented. You'll probably find everyone that way!

      Thank you! After I went with the James Taylor thing, I thought maybe a Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons song might have been more appropriate...lol :) Have a great finish to your week!

    Oh my goodness, Debby - these are so beautiful. Seriously, have you considered truly making these into note cards and selling them? I know I would buy a set.

    And yep, it's good to have a friend...winter, spring, summer, or fall.

    GOD BLESS!

      Sharon, you are just so sweet! Thanks for the kind words...I doubt if I would sell very many. If you are serious, I will gladly make you up some and mail them to you...as a gift :)

    Hello Debby
    I love your set of note cards - one for each of the Lord's seasons!
    The first one with the snow weighing down the pine needles is lovely - where I live it doesn't snow in winter - sadly!
    In other parts of New Zealand it does though.
    Wishing you a happy thanksgiving in your neck of the woods!

      Hello! Thank you for stopping by my blog. I live in NC and we don't get a lot of snow either. The picture you are referring to was taken at our cabin in VA. Quite a bit of snow falls up there most winters...and a happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

      Hey Cheryl...thanks for stopping by and your sweet comment! I love the card party and think I just may be a regular from now on...so much fun sharing our photos with each other. I just edited my "box top"...thought it got lost in my post next to the frames around the cards. Check out my changes if you like :)

      Thank you, Cheryl! There's nothing like getting a song stuck in your head and not beingable to get it out, is there? At least it was "You Got A Friend"....that's a pretty good one to be stuck :)
