This (very) little book contains ideas for personalizing cards for 30 occasions. The categories run the gamut from frequent occasions such as birthdays or thank you notes, to the rarer events like retirements and new homes. Each occasion has a page or two of short sentences to help you express your sentiments.This book will not really help you write longer notes, or letters; but it is perfect for adding something personal to a ready-made greeting card. The last 40 or so pages are devoted to space for you to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Kwanzaa card lists. Without those pages, this would be more of a pamphlet than a book. I would have preferred more content instead of space for lists that I keep on my computer.I like the idea of customizing greeting cards, and I'm sure I'll use the phrases in this book to jump-start my notes. However, if I had leafed through it in a store, I'm not sure I would have bought it.
A fabulous mind jogger. I'm handed cards and asked to scribe brief notes regarding births, losses, promotions, illness, recovery, and the whole range of ups and downs. This book is great for starting the creative juices going and suggesting a phrase or quote that helps me express my feelings. You will NOT regret the purchase.
The best part of this book was the title. It's all downhill from there. I was misled into believing that there would actually be some different and UNIQUE phrases in here. Being one to write out a greeting card to family and friends at least once a month, I sometimes could use a fresh expression or two. I bought this book with the assumption that I'd find all that inside.Sorry to say, this book offers nothing by way of originality. Do I really need someone to suggest writing these phrases in my greeting cards: "Have a sensational birthday", "Have a wonderful birthday", "All the best to the best", "Just to keep you on your toes, I like to introduce you as my 1st husband..." and more ridiculous wording such as that.I see that it must have just taken money to find a publisher to put this book on the shelves. Talent and an ability to offer something new was not part of the mix here. I could find more appropriate wording in a grammar school English paper.I hope I can at least sell my copy at a flea market for a buck.
It is an ok book. A lot of the quotes in this book are phrases used in the United Kingdom and do not translate well to America.
This book has filled a need. I used to shutter when trying to write a personal note within a card. Its so cold to just sign your name at the bottom. But to sit there and think of something to write was difficult. This book, even though you can use the sayings as presented in the book also allows you to quickly write your own personal message using the books passages as a outline.The book itself is small enough to carry with you, place in a desk drawer, purse, so on. I now have two copies, one at home and one at work. This book saves me time and helps personalize all my cards and letters. I love this book...it's so handy!
This book was not what I was looking for. It is just a collection of greetings that you would find in cards. They really don't mean much. I was looking for something more unique.
Sometimes life is too crazy to come up with something a little extra on a card. You hate to just sign your name and you don't have the time (or brain cells left after a hard day at work) to come up with something "witty". Besides, if you are all ready witty, your friends and family know it and you wouldn't need this book. It's not meant to turn you into a William Shakespeare.This book is perfect for those of us real people who need a jump start. You don't have to use the book verbatum. You can make it personal.I keep the paperback in my desk at work and the whole office uses it for business related cards and for personal cards. My hard copy is at home with personal favorites flagged with sticky notes, right next to my list of things to do, kid's calenders and shopping lists. That's life. Anything that makes it easier, I am for !!!!!
Finding the Right WordsThis book with it's many phrases is a big help to me in sending the right words for the cards sent to the shut- in in my church circle , but also to friends on their special days
