Fan Mail Friday- July 5th, 2024

Hello crafters,

We hope that you had an enjoyable Fourth of July! It's our first Fan Mail Friday in July and we have lots of fun and wonderful things to share with you! This week there are early birthday cards, patriotic cards, new friends and more. Let's dive in to this week's fan mail offerings.

Richard sent a beautiful, scalloped card, photo and poem with us this week. Below is the lovely poem; we had to share!

Why do we love?
A question as old as time,
Echoing through the chambers
Of our hearts and minds.

We love for the laughter
That dances in our souls,
For the warmth of a touch
That makes us feel whole.

We love for the memories
That we hold dear,
For the shared experiences
That bring us near.

We love for the beauty
That surrounds us each day,
For the way it inspires us
In every single way.

We love for the strength
That it gives us to endure,
For the hope it instills
And the trials we can cure.

We love for the connections
That bind us together,
For the sense of belonging
That lasts forever.

So why do we love?
In the end, the answer is clear,
For love is the essence
Of why we are here.
