Reconnecting with Friends


I recently reconnected with some friends of mine that we were all once very close friends, but with all of our busy lives and living in different cities, having kids, working etc. we have lost touch over the years. It was like old times when we connected again over dinner, thanks to some email trails that one of us started. It was great to learn about all the latest things we had each been up to and shared our pictures together. As we parted ways, everyone was sure to exchange emails/phone and I prompted us all to exchange mailing addresses too.

When I got home, I wrote each of them a little thank-you note on one of my handmade cards. I expressed how much I enjoyed our visit and how great it is to have friends like them and my high hopes to reconnect more often in the future. It didn't take me long to do and I felt good doing it.

To my pleasant surprise, I also received a thank-you note from one of them. I have enjoyed having the card on my desk to look at this past week. It reminds me of how busy life can become for all of us, and how easy it is to forget to say thanks or that "I am thinking about you". That little thank-you note brightened my day, I am planning to send some more of these thank-you notes or just because notes to hopefully make someone elses day that much nicer.

Introducing Serendipity

I enjoy giving and receiving handmade cards as I believe they are in themselves a treasure to keep and can mean so much. In this day and age where computers and emails rule the world it is a special thing to receive that hand written note from a friend or loved one. We offer many hand embellished greeting cards and shipping is free! Send a card to brighten someone's and let them know you are thinking of them.

Our cards are made on high quality card stock and many are hand embellished for that extra touch.

Based in Shawnigan Lake, British Columbia, it is the perfect place to be creative, raise a family and enjoy the simple things in life. With three adorable little girls and a wonderful husband life is full of surprises and never boring.

Serendipity Designworks is the result of a lot of hard work, fun and creativity. I hope you enjoy our cards as much as we do and they help spread the Serendipity to those that are close to you.
