Postcards From (Canadian) Abroad

Do you remember this time last year when we were all ordering Moo cards? I love my tiny Moo cards. And it was great fun exchanging them at the Retreat, or slipping one into a package when I sent it off.


Only I never have any note cards. Some of you have brilliant little blank cards that you hand write lovely messages in and it makes me feel like all of you are grown up. And I am not. So I decided to remedy the situation. I ordered me some postcards from Moo!


Now I can play at being a grown up and write nice little notes when I send out parcels too. Though I doubt my hand writing will be as neat.


I am particularly fond of the 'I Quilt So I Won't Kill' post card. I think it expresses my personality so well.

If anyone is tempted to order some for themselves then Moo allows you to download as many photos as you like. I chose six photos for sixty postcards. I could have downloaded sixty photos, but I am not that patient, and deciding which one to send each time would be so very, very hard. I just might have ordered some stickers too. They haven't arrived yet.

I will rudely add on that if you do get tempted to buy some and you follow this link it lets me get money off my next order for referring you. Far be it for me to not take advantage of the situation.

  2. Great idea. I intend mugging people at the retreat for their mini moo's. I often forget to slip one of mine in packages when I send off!

  3. I got some great cards from Moo a few weeks ago, and I'm kind of tempted to put some of them up for sale on ETSY. I too bought stickers and I'm so damn proud of them. They look so professional it's hard to believe I actually did them myself LOL.

  6. I love my 'mini moo's and stickers, and I'm tempted by the postcards as I need somewhere to write messages and washing instructions etc. But 'he who knows' (because he's in the trade) tells me I won't be able to write on the back of them because of the 'finish'.....please tell me you can write on the back.

    I notice the snow is giving you a lovely background for the photos!

  12. You're so cute! I use stationary I find on the clearance rack or just bits of notebook paper with cute designs. I'm completely hooked on stationary. I just got HR's Prints book and intend on whipping some of her notecards up for me!

  23. Fun idea, although I still remember the screaming at yelling that getting the photos to fit the moo mini cards involved, so I might wait til I've run out of my mixed packs from WH Smiths!
