Thank you Grace for letting me spend the week here! For my last post I decided to make an ABC birthday card with a PDF you can download and make yourself. We have a birthday tradition in our family we’ve been doing since we were kids. We go around the dinner table and each person takes a letter of the alphabet, and we say something nice about the birthday girl/boy. A is for Artistic! B is for the Beautiful! We go around and around the table until we get to Z (which can be a difficult letter, you have to get creative). You can mention a favorite memory, or something that reminds you of that person, but it has to involve your letter. My family is now scattered across the country. So I thought this ABC card might be a nice way to keep our tradition going, even when we’re apart for birthdays. Coming up with 26 things on your own can be tough, so I only recommend making this card for people you know quite well!
To get started: Download the PDF which includes all 26 letters. For each card you’ll need seven sheets of cardstock. Print your cards on a color printer. Cut each page into 4 cards by following the trim marks. Write one special trait or memory for each letter. Wrap with ribbon and mail to the birthday boy/girl in a sturdy envelope. It’s almost as good as being there in person.
