Welcome to Heidi's Cards

I love photography, I'm always finding something that I've got to see how it'll look on my camera. I love digital cameras because I never have to worry about wasting film on a bad shot, I just hit delete. So I experiment, look at other's photos in amazement, learn, have fun.

I've had a lot of encouragement to continue learning and snapping shots. Some of my friends have encouraged me to turn my photos into cards, postcards. While I was looking at various ways to do that, Jack Spirko introduced me to Send Out Cards. At first I was like why do I want to try some system that sends out cards from a computer, when I can make my own, add my own snapshots to share with friends--which is much more personal. (Little did I realize that I could do that with SendOutCards.) But Jack offered nicely to try the system and send a few cards, so I said "Sure".

Then I met Diane Walker who took me on a virtual tour of the system. It is so simple. I have 3 sisters and 5 brothers spread across the country. We're always forgetting each other's birthdays, I even have some cards I'd remembered to pick up but forgot to address, stamp, and put in the mail. Thank goodness for phone calls, email, or we'd be complete strangers to each other. But with this system, I don't forget birthdays, and they do the mailing for me. I can personalize it by uploading a picture from my computer, use my own handwriting, or even design my own card. Oh what fun! Thanks Jack and Diane.

Let someone know that you care, send a card today! The first one is on me.
