Here is a Birthday card that I sent to my 4 year old nephew, Noah. He lives on farm in regional N.S.W, The Rock.  This picture was taken a little over a year ago when we were playing in the shearing shed. The door that Noah is coming through is where the sheep go once they have been sheared.

We had lots of fun playing that day and Noah would not have seen this photo yet…I am sure he will get a nice surprise when he opens it. The birthday image on the inside of the card I grabbed from Clip Art for the inside of the card. Hector Meter is something that I call Noah and he always giggles madly when I do and no doubt he will get a kick out of this one.

A hector meter is some kind of a farming tool and I call Noah Hector Meter Pumpkin Eater.

Text Inside of Card

Dear Noah,

Auntie Tal and I would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday!

It is amazing how much you have grown in just one year!

We really had a good time with you in Canberra the other week and even though you weren’t feeling the best you soldiered on!

Good on you Noahie, you are growing into a superstar!

We hope you had a great day and got to eat as much cake as you wanted (which would have been a lot knowing you).

Lots of love,
Uncle Stevie and Auntie Tal

This birthday card took me about 15 minutes to make and cost $1.35 with a stamp on it.

It is sad to say but; going to the newsagent, sifting through the cards to get the right one, writing the message in it, and then lining up at the post office just doesn’t appeal to me for some reason.

My Greeting card service has a contact manager built into it and reminds me 10 days before a contact’s birthday. All I need to do is select a card from my online catalog, write my message, and hit send. The card will arrive in the post, with my own handwriting font inside, within a week!

Today I sent a birthday card to a client I had when I was working in Sydney. I got very close to him and his family, so I really enjoyed sending this birthday card.

Bruce would be in his mid 50’s now but I am sure he is still as cool as ever. When he was turning fifty his wife and I would tease him about his mid life crisis…the convertible Mercedes Benz.

Sending a birthday card is such an easy thing to do and is always appreciated.
