I agree totally. I simply cannot make them at the time they are needed so should definitely have a couple to hand, but I don’t. This is a lovely example: seasonal because of the poppies, and the bright red is eye-catching but completely appropriate.

Thanks, Gillian. It is amazing how fast the mojo scatters when it hears, “I need a sympathy card FAST.”

It’s too much pressure to get it just right, isn’t it? Whereas if you have some already made that feeling of obligation is taken away.
