Or you can send a family photo and I will display it in a holiday scene. Also you can have a special message all for $5, and each additional card for $.65 All cards are designed with a four line rhyming jingle, three lines on the front and the catch line on the inside top.

especially at this joyous time of year
we hope your Christmas is full of joy
we'll just have to celebrate without our boy

you go together like a ball and glove
true love you demand to the highest degree

SYMPATHY/GET WELL
137*
I'm sorry to see you down at this time
from here it's going to be an uphill climb
I'm by your side to see you through
just tell me if there's anything I can possibly do

138*
At times like these we all feel sad
and our spirits could use a little lift
hold your head up and don't feel bad
we're here for you, so don't sail a drift

139*
I hope your collision was just a dent
they say hitting the tree felt like cement
one way streets will run you astray
If cement it was, then you'll be okay

140*
Condolences go out to you right now
it seems like yesterday he was eating his chow
he couldn't have seen the car, coming his way
if he only could have, he'd be with us today


132
Our thoughts are with you at this time
he passed away in his prime
the only thing that's proper to say
is that we send our condolences on this day

133
At troubled times we all feel blue
but there is one thing that we can do
go to the pub, break out the sauce
and drink a toast, to our loss

134
I cannot say that I know how you feel
but the way I'm suffering I can't conceal
she was my good friend too
let me know if there's anything I can do

135
You came down sick so very fast
isn't that always the way they say
to find out, I had to be the last
you just wait till it's my day

136
Didn't you wonder how I have been
I was feeling ill, and that's not slick
on a scale, I was almost a ten
just see if I visit you when you're sick

116*
Things seem to happen so very fast
someone's here and then they pass
believe me your loss has left me blue
my sincerest condolences go out to you

118*
I'm sorry to hear about your loss
it's too bad, it came at such a cost
this comes from our family to you
tell my love if there's anything we can say or do

121*
You're my mate and I love you
and you love me, this is true
I never expected this in a blue moon
I hope you get well very soon

122*
My darling I'm sorry about your mishap
it seemed to happen in such a snap
you'll bounce back soon this I trust
because living with you is such a must

123*
I'm sorry to hear about your slip
I heard it was an expensive trip
I hope you heal in just a flash
hopefully the hospital won't make you pay cash

124*
My condolences go out to you on this day
his time came to soon that's for sure
at a time like this what can one say
please tell me if there’s anything to help you cure

125*
Your emergency came to me as a surprise
I have to admit it opened my eyes
then I almost soiled my britches
when I found out it was just a couple of stitches

126*
I am at awe about the way you feel
I'm not a bovine, but I do have to say
when I heard the news it made me squeal
if it makes you feel better I'll send a bouquet

127*
Medical tests are always an ordeal
down in the dumps they'll make you feel
I'm sure the doctors will find the source
then you'll feel better and back on course

128*
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling sound
they say you may have what's going around
doctors aren't always right when you're sick
just look at Einstein, he was dyslexic

129*
You feel just miserable when you're ill
you wish you could just take a pill
it's not being sick that gets you down
it's all the damn people gawking around

130
My condolences go out to you today
it seems like yesterday she passed away
I always see her face, as I think I should
the memorial in the paper was very good

131
Your terrible loss, is also mine too
maybe together we'll both pull through
there's safety in numbers, so they say
we'll help each other, till the skies aren't gray

BAD ROMANCE
141*
Our troubles have eaten away at us
it seems we no longer have each other's trust
it's far too late to begin a new start
I think it's time that we should part

142*
It's time we went our separate ways
being with you are miserable days
when I'm with you, you make me cry
any longer with you and I swear I will die

143*
Your mood is driving me out of my mind
I find that that your nature is very unkind
your cruel, heartless and very mean
you're the worst girlfriend I've ever seen

144*
Your attitude is starting to drive me crazy
because your demeanor is so damn lazy
I'm not going to kiss your butt anymore
It's about time that I showed you the door

145*
No longer are you my cross to bare
nor do I even want you around here
your image is starting to make me sick
so just go back to your secret chick

146*
Tell me someone, what is that smell
could it be the bastard, I think I can tell
let him in the door one last time
so that I can kick out the dirty swine

147*
You keep me from getting sleep at night
I've reached my rope to the end of its line
all you ever do is fuss and fight
if you'd just set me free then I'd feel fine

148*
All you ever do is moan and groan
why can't you just leave me alone
you make the relationship so stinking hard
or I wouldn't have to give you this damn card

149*
Difficult and irritable is what you are
let's not forget moody, that's by far
if you don't get better this boat will sail
or you wouldn't have gotten this card in the mail

150*
Your behavior and actions are getting me down
and if you keep them up I won't be around
if things don't get better I'll have to leave
then my darling you'll find you will grieve

151*
Trouble showed up when you came here
now I just want to cry in my beer
things couldn't get much worse for us
now all I want is to catch the next bus

152*
Our days together have strained on us
we no longer have each other's trust
we as a couple have reached our peak
I think we should part with a kiss on the cheek

153*
Why do we always fall apart
every time we try a new start
I think we reached the end of our days
why don't we part our personal ways

154*
Why don't we see eye to eye anymore
things are sad as far as I can tell
it may be time for us to close the door
goodbye my friend, I'm saying farewell

61*
It's all because of you I'm sore
you broke my heart this I'm sure
I won't take you back anymore
because of you there is no cure

62*
You broke my heart and I was crying
now it's your turn to feel the pain
I'll get even with you without trying
I will quietly drive you completely insane

63*
Why did you have to be so cruel
I did nothing to make you so mad
you made me feel like a damn fool
now it's my turn to make you feel bad

64*
Why did you have to humiliate me
in front of that large crowd
I felt so ashamed as you could see
I hope it made you feel proud

65*
I can't begin to convey
how mortified I felt inside
when you put me on display
I just wanted to run and hide

It took a whole year to get this far
paying the bills maintaining a car
working every day keeping a house

and birthdays may seem passé
well pick up your chin and be bold

Birthdays are for people a year older
some don't celebrate most of them do
lots of people seem to just get colder
but the warm ones celebrate with a brew

26*
I find that Birthdays make me sad
I feel like climbing into an old trunk
if you find they make you feel bad
use my remedy and go get drunk

27*
A beer or two make the Birthday's fun
especially if you're wise and thrifty
before you know it's finally come
a million brews later and you turned 50

28*
Best wishes to you my best friend
I hope our friendship will never end

A glass of wine would be proper
to celebrate the day you were born
you'll get drunk till you need the hopper
then take you home all tattered and torn

a bash we'll have till the sun comes up
till you're begging for that coffee cup

35*
Well what do you know today must be it
together we'll celebrate in the usual way
we always have fun you have to admit
it's that one day of the year your Birthday

a passionate and gentle kiss on the cheek

today I was told by a little birdie
that incidentally you just turned Thirty

LOVE/MARRIAGE PROPOSALS

41*
Love is a many splendid thing
as the crooners like to sing about
I don't tend to carry my love on a string
but when you're away I tend to pout

42*
Cranes are used for things that are tall
microscopes are for things that are small
both of these things have a job to do
as for a trade mine is loving you

43*
Love stories always make you cry
you hide your tears until the end
you just can't stop although you try
I love you because I know you'll mend

44*
Everyday you're on my mind
and every night time too
your devoted caring and kind
I cannot help but love you

with the things that I'll do for you
I promise I'll be your best friend
and stay by your side when you're blue

46*
I feel for you when you are sad
especially if I caused your pain
soon I will feel extremely glad
if you let me finally explain

47*
Little fluffy puppies are so damn cute
they pee they poop and like to chew
they're so much fun you can't dispute
but their cuteness can't hold a candle to you

48*

I know in time that you will heal
I can say that I'll stand by your side
and a shoulder to lean on I can provide

my feelings I'd like you to comprehend
this question I have is long overdue
would you like to be my boyfriend

they're eating away at my very core

I am here before you on bended knee
requesting if you’d be my wife

56*
Our love has always been carefree

now I'm asking if you'd award me
by becoming my lovely bride

Love is almost as old as the sky
relations are almost as old as the sea
I'm making this request without wondering why
please give me the pleasure of marrying me

58*
What is this pain I feel in my heart

I get this feeling I'm losing my mate

Spring is the time when flowers abound
would you marry me Summer's the season

it's our day off there's nothing to do
let's plan a wedding we'll invite a crew
