Great list! I've emailed the link to my card-making friend back East (who is responsible for the fact that I even make cards). I'm sure that she'll enjoy it as much as I did!  __________________

Thanks, Joan. Great list. I especially like the one about recognizing made-up holidays.
My daughter always celebrates Ice Cream for Breakfast Day with her 8 children, which I think is wonderful! So do the kids.

What do they mean, "No one sends Happy Thanksgiving cards." ? I have for years. On top of this, a homemade card scores more!

You know the saying:Keep on trucking! Well, keep on Card Making. Thanks for sharing. More inspiration. There is nothing like getting a handmade card. In addition, receiving a card I had made just keeps me smiling and creating more cards.

Great ideas!! One year I was swamped and didn't get to send out Christmas cards. When February rolled around and my life had settled down a bit, I sent Valentines to everyone on my Christmas card list. I can't tell you how many people said that they liked them better because it helped break up the winter.

Fun thread ... Thanks, Joan, for starting it.
I found this link for unusual holidays:
