[Pamela]

I'm thankful for this giveaway!
And also I am thankful that I can read and write. I have had a stress fracture on my foot since September and if I couldn't read and write I would be lost. I have journalled my way through this and written numerous cards, letters, and emails to friends and family. Although isolated at home, I feel connected. The gift of writing and reading is immeasurable at times like this.

Dear inspiring and fabolous Papayaart-team!
Yesterday I spoke to my friend on the phone. She told me about her adventures in the world of internet dating and all about the dissapointments she experienced every time she realized that the man she just met was not interested in her the way she was with him. She was feeling very sad and couldn´t keep her tears away. I tried to comfort her and tell her she is awsome, but it´s not so easy to do it over the phone, 300 km away in a nother village.
So, today I decided to find my most special card in my pile of most special cards and send to her, in an attemt to make her feel a little bit more cared for and not so alone.
The card I chose was your wonderful postcard with the text:
"sometimes your only available trasportation is a leap of faith". I hope she will feel the inspiration to keep on, daring to date again and being proud to be the fantastic person she is.
So today, dear Papaya team, I´m so grateful that I found this card last year, in a book shop in Germany, on my holiday trip. Cause this will be the perfect cheering up card for my dear friend who really needs a leap of faith to go on!
(and, if i may be a bit egoistic, I have to add I´m also super duper thankful that I saw the small text written at the bottom of the card saying "Papayart" - and found your web page! Because that will save me lots of money when I won´t have to go back to Germany and search for more inspiring and fabolously pretty cards - now i can order them from your webpage! Jippi!:-) All my "Christmas present worries" are now gone, a true thing to be grateful for! ;-)
Soon you will see a big order coming in from Sweden! :-)

[spindelmaker]

I am so happy that I can see! they say you´re not truly grateful for something until you loose it. I haven´t lost my sight, nor is there any reason to suspect I will, but still I think about it almost every day, how thankful I am that I can see. I can see all the beauty in the world, and I can make my own beauty in my art.

[Stephanie Worrell]

P.S. Can you believe that I only have 18 of the 106 original Correspondence Stickers that I bought last Thanksgiving left? That's some serious letter-writing and labeling, huh? Thanks, again, Papaya! for being my dream stationery super~store! :-) Blessings~

[Stephanie Worrell]

Thanks, all the dear, beautiful women who shared their special thanks~giving with us! So inspiring. As I prepared my Thanksgiving cards to go out to family and friends this year, I noticed a theme throughout my greetings. All began with, "Dearest ~~~~, I'm so grateful for our friendship. You/Y'all are a tremendous blessing to me!" I praise God for each and every one of them! Naturally, I used my Papaya! Correspondence Stickers from the last, very groovy sale here. 106 stickers for $10? The best investment ever! Thanks, Papaya! for making my beautiful correspondence efforts even more spectacular. Finally, my life would be meaningless without the daily Love, Hope, Help & Healing I have in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Most High God. I fall more and more in love with Jesus as I learn of and experience more and more of His amazing, encouraging Love. There are these crazy miracles, like Life, when the docs say I should be dead several times over OR having the previously unknown desire of my heart met as my position of Aunt was upgraded to Mom when dad split the scene. I've been co-parenting my beautifully precious 21-year-old Daughter since she like 7 or 8 with my Sister! What a gift joining her Birth Mom to pour into her over the years is! I'm such a better woman for it. Wowza! ...just to name a couple. Enjoy this season of celebration, all. Gratitude is the key to joy!
