Are you tired of the platitudes that you buy on the Hallmark card rack? Do you retch at the inane verses that stare back at you at each birthday, mother’s day all occasions...really! I mean...how can you expect your sentiments to be lodged in the originator of platitudes? Be original!! Take no shortcuts. Design and write the accompanying verse for all cards that you pass on to friends... family members, loved ones, graduates.... Don’t be a Hallmark moron. Take the time to write what you mean... what you may never get the chance to say AGAIN! Poets unite!! Pen your own verses! [This message has been edited by Jana Tovey (edited 06-03-2000).] |

I know I hate those verses, a wonderful poem and a great idea. Maybe Passions could branch out into the card business. lol. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures.

Jana I've been doing that for quite a while..I enjoy reading some of the cards but they always seem to not quite send the proper message. So I usually buy the cards that don't have any writing in the middle and do my thing. James |
