Project Inspire Card Swap

I love how certain opportunities find their way into your life unexpectedly. A couple months ago, Hollie and I partnered up to co-host Project Inspire, a card swap designed for bloggers to inspire, motivate, and encourage each other through a card.

My partner ended up being Kristen from Love, Lipstick, and Pearls! Once the date for sending off our cards had passed, I kept checking the mail for that special, little card. There's just something special about receiving snail mail!

I got the card and decided to wait for a moment when I really needed inspiration and encouragement. It had been a trying and long week at work and so really, the card came just in time :) I carefully opened up the envelope to find this pretty card inside:

Was that card perfect or what? Kristen's words spoke straight to my heart.

She knew exactly what to say.

Exactly how to comfort me and put a big ole smile on my face :)

I love that Edgar Allan Poe quote about angels and mothers. I had never seen it before but seriously, how thoughtful of Kristen to find that and include it in this sweet card! It was definitely a nice, little surprise.

Kristen - I can't thank you enough! Your card completely brightened my week. Your perspective is so refreshing and I'm sure I'll be reading your words whenever I need a little extra encouragement :)

See, isn't snail mail the best? Who's ready for another Project Inspire? ;)

I can't wait to see what everyone else got and to feel all the positive vibes going throughout the blogging world today! Link up below and show us your inspiration!
