GREEN CHRISTMAS~ CARDS FOR CAUSES

Did you see my post on my search for Christmas Cards that lead me to Cards for Causes?

For reasons all my own, I care about this Earth that God created just for us. I do not think we should abuse it or squander it's resources (that He gave us) in any way. AND I think that, as Christians, we should be leading the way in 'living green.' That is why I searched high and low until I found a company that met my needs:




Cards for Causes has a huge collection of recycled Christmas cards! (And recycled holiday cards, recycled greeting cards, eco-friendly wedding invitations and eco-friendly & recycled personalized stationary- to name a few choices!)

This is the Christmas card I ordered:



Called~ C44070 Christmas Season Recycled Religious Christmas Card

Well, I was also lucky enough to receive some gorgeous Thank You notes!


They are a great size when you really have something to say. They are almost as big as a standard 8.5"x11" sheet of paper.



I have used these to write notes to the other ladies on the Girlfriends Unlimited! advisory board at my church after our Fall Luncheon. There was enough room to write a thank you for specific things each woman did or helped with. Plus, they are pretty enough to be shared with every woman in your life!

Check out their other Recycled Greeting Cards- including Birthday, Anniversary, Congratulations, Sympathy and more styles of Thank You cards!!

Cards for Causes is a great eco-conscious company:
