But, how about letting some of your readers have the chance to get these cards? I would be more than willing to send an envelope and postage to have you stuff a card in it! Another author that I love, not as much as you of course ;-), does this for her readers. She does book trading cards and lets readers send in the postage and envelope pre-filled out to her.

I'd be willing to be that there are soldiers out there who'd love to get such a personally made beautiful card... or some type of group of people (thinking people in the ICU, or kids in cancer hospitals, etc.). It'd be such a beautiful thing, to share your art with those who may be lost, lonely or forgotten.Toni McGee Causeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370542021428660374noreply@blogger.com
