My name is Rose, \u201cThe Card Lady,\u201d and I would like to tell you how my name came to be\u2026<\/p>\n

A few years ago I purchased a box of assorted birthday cards<\/a><\/strong> from The Gallery Collection. One week after I received them, I threw a surprise anniversary party for my parents at my house. A discussion arose about upcoming birthdays and events, when my sister chimed in and said she forgot her mother in-law’s birthday (it was the very next day!). I went into the house and grabbed the assortment box for her. I quickly had a group of people surrounding me going through the box. They remarked how beautiful the greeting cards were and that they had never seen such cheerful cards in any store. A few of my guests picked out cards that were perfect for an upcoming birthday\u2026 I was more than happy to let them have the cards.<\/p>\n

A week after my party, my neighbor knocked on my door; she had attended my party last week and remembered I had a boxed birthday cards assortment. She asked if she could have one for a party she had the very next day. So, that is how it began, and till this day, I still have people stopping by for thank you cards, birthday cards, and get well cards. My only dilemma is I\u2019m running out of cards\u2026I have to drop subtle hints on how my guests can get their own<\/em> boxes.<\/p>\n

So now my friends introduce me as Rose, the Card Lady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My name is Rose, \u201cThe Card Lady,\u201d and I would like to tell you how my name came…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1297,1298,13],"tags":[39,94,415],"class_list":{"0":"post-3814","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-birthday-inspiration","8":"category-anniversary-messages","9":"category-inspirational-greeting-card-tales","10":"tag-assorted-birthday-cards","11":"tag-boxed-birthday-cards","12":"tag-boxed-birthday-cards-assortment","13":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nRose the Card Lady and Assorted Birthday Cards -
