A friend of mine and I received mention in a greeting card writing 'contest'.I inquired about the possibility to write for them. I had to take a test to see if I could write the way they wanted. I didn't send it in. But I will think about this contest.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-50187515409240052132010-04-16T21:45:04.225-04:002010-04-16T21:45:04.225-04:00That sounds like a lot of fun.

Some made me laugh aloud; others touched my soul.<br /><br />I've never written for a greeting card company, and more-and-more I buy fewer cards, except for the grandchildren. They've gotten so outrageously expensive that I often write my own sentiments in a notecard instead.<br /><br />But the ones I used to like were those that made me smile.<br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-81665589944150163632010-04-15T16:18:58.451-04:002010-04-15T16:18:58.451-04:00Jessica,
