My Birthday Card Bundle 2025

Usually I scrapbook the events of my birthdays, but this year wasn't too good. My mom was in the hospital so we didn't do any celebrating. The best thing I did was start the day off with a Starbucks coffee, courtesy of a gift card from my daughter. The day ended with frozen custard in the Culver's parking lot (which is a really beautiful place). But I did receive several really nice cards. 

If I did scrapbook my birthday, I would have put them in there. But instead I bundled them up and tied them with a ribbon and made a little tag, stamping the year on it. It's a sweet way to remember the event because not everyone puts the year inside.

The dish that they're in is a little gift to myself of sorts. It's a 1950's Fire King divided dish that is in mint condition for just $5.99. I found it at The Salvation Army a few days later. According to one that's listed on Etsy, the rim is 22 karat gold. However it's stamped on the back that it's oven-proof. I'm not sure how it would hold up after years of use, but I'm glad that someone probably stuffed this in the back of a closet for decades.

As card makers, I'm reminded just how special those folded pieces of paper can be. The gifts are soon forgotten. The money spent. Even memories fade. But the cards we get are often saved and cherished. And that inspires me to get back to my craft room, hoping one of my creations will wind up in someone else's bundle some day.

The Culver's in Seminole, Florida is right on Lake Seminole. You can go through the drive through then park right in front of the lake and enjoy the view from your car. It really was a nice way to end the day!
