Outgoing: Celebration Cards

This is a shameful example of how far behind on my mail I am was!  All of these cards are Papyrus cards.  They are my go-to dealer for "glam" cards {though Hallmark is making progress, as you can see here}.  Fortunately, you can pick up Papyrus cards at Target {and Bed, Bath & Beyond, as I noticed yesterday}.  I say fortunately because the Papyrus store in Garden City closed and is not re-opening.  I am super annoyed about it because I love their cards but I really adore their swanky, bling-y gift bags and tissue paper.  I know the bags are $10, but I like to have the best looking present on the table.  Snotty, but true.  
Now, the only other Papyrus around is in the Providence Place Mall.  If you live in RI, you know why that stinks.  Fifteen minute drive {for me}, pay to park in a garage, tri-level pain in the butt.  No more "just run over to Garden City and be right home."

I sent this card to a bride who was married in July {August?}.  I made her wedding cake, and I purchased this card before her wedding.  It finally got mailed on 02/04/2013.  But the upside is that it will be a nice surprise, right?

This card is significantly less late.  Charlene's birthday was 01/31.  This card also got mailed on 02/04.

This card will be early.  For my 2nd cousin Beth, whom I adore and has a great sense of humor.

The inside of the card says something about having your cake and eating it, too.  I love that David is censored with a fig leaf underneath.

All of the envelopes on these indicated extra postage needed, so they all got their 66 cents with a 64 cent butterfly and the Navajo necklace for the extra 2 cents.
