In reply to Lisa. My mom, Kris's Grandmother had a book club where they reviewed books every month. This was a big deal in a very small town. Invitation only, with very proper tea/coffee and always a special dessert. They would go to a different home each month all dressed up. They had officers, scrapbook and dues. My mom would worry about everything about it for months. If she was president, hostess, book reviewer, or having to do the scrapbook for the year was such a challenge. But she must of loved it because she did this up until they all couldn't do it any more and disbanded.

Love this post, Kristen. Such a great idea to have saved your cards and notes in a book. I just keep mine in photo boxes on the top shelves in the bookcases. The books would be easier to go through them, though! I’ve almost tossed mine a time or two, and have a few cards that weren’t from my parents and grandparents. Those are just way too special, aren’t they?

I still have a few cards from my grandparents as well – simple ones that just say what’s going on that week. Since they passed away nearly 20 years ago now, they mean a great deal to me.

I’ve wondered what has happened to handwritten cards as well. I have to convince my boys to write thank you notes after receiving gifts. I think I will also pick up a pen and send some thinking of you notes to some girlfriends across the country. What a nice surprise it will be in their mailbox!

I love that idea about hand writing a letter! I keep all my cards; there is nothing better than getting a hand written letter!!

Beautiful post!
I have to admit, I’m intrigued by your Grandmother’s club — was she a HomeEc lady, too (it’s somehow related to 4H or something?)? My Gran was, and I ask not to be nosy (sorry!), but because reading that pic of her card to you made me remember how I’d help out when she hosted and it could have been her words — going to town, getting stuff in for it, etc. — that I was reading.
Really lovely post, Kristen, even if it did about made me teary as all get out. : )
