WordCards

For years I’ve sent out a monthly e.newsletter which features a Word of the Month. For as long as I’ve been doing this, people have been asking me to create cards with each word.

I’ve selected 18 of the words that seem most universal. These A2 sized WordCards are printed on 89% recycled sand colored card stock with coordinating 24lb envelopes. OF course, each card comes in a crystal clear bag to protect it from eager buyers’ hands.

Please refer to my website for detailed images of all 18 Word Cards and use the following information for ordering your cards. Oh, AND the wholesale price is just $1 each!

Handmade Word Posters

At the request of many, I’ve turned ten of my most popular SoulBooster Words into 81/2 x 11 handmade paper posters. Each poster is backed in simple black and protected in a clear sleeve. And of course, these posters are very suitable for framing!

I even write a special message in the back of each journal and ABC book describing where I found the stick that binds it. I love to find sticks and I love to get them from friends across the country too (hint - hint!)

ABCs for Life offers a word, quote and several questions for you to ponder (or ignore until you're ready to ponder...) for each letter of the alphabet (yep, even Q, X and Z!) I've included many of my own most profound lessions... some of which I even wanted to learn. This book is 9x12 and can be covered with just about any kind of cover paper you would like. $15.00 (ABC)

As with Life... the cover paper choices are infinite, but don't worry, I'll help you choose.

My First Year is definitely not 'just another baby book'. In addistion to providing lots of space for photos and memorabilia, it also provides a place to record all those precious firsts! This book is 9x12. Cover paper options are almost unlimited. $15.00 (BABY)

For couples planning their wedding, I've created Wedding Memories. This book is a wonderful way for the couple to record everything from why they are getting married to the details of their wedding and of course, plenty of space for photographs and memories.

I've also created a Wedding Guest book that provides enough space for guests to leave a personal message for the couple.

Both of these books are 9x12 and cover papers are wedding appropriate.(Yes, special requests are welcome) $15.00 (WM or WG)
