Finding it hard to get out of bed this morning,
my heart is full of sadness and pain.
Today is my Dads first birthday since his passing. It’s hard to understand how life just goes on
without it him. We never used to do anything super huge for
his birthday, just some bumpy cake and ice cream…but not this year. This year we are doing it up right. I am going to try my hardest not to be sad
because today I am going to celebrate his life.
I’m going to celebrate just how wonderful he really was. I miss you,
Dad, so very much.
“You can
shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and
turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

What is Five Dollar Shake, you ask?
Five Dollar Shake is THE place to buy stationary and handmade greeting cards. Their unique and beautiful designs are sure to take your breath away. And with their large selection, you will definitely find what you are looking for. Their site even includes a Personalized Wedding Stationary tab, so you can easily create the perfect wedding invitations for your special day.
I was recently sent 10+ beautifully hand crafted greeting
cards for my review. The majority of their designs are “3D” so computer images
really do not do them justice. I was
pleasantly surprised by the quality of each card. I love the little embellishments on each card. Some have ribbons, gems, sequins, and bows. Each was beautiful in their own special way. However none of them photographed well, so...
Five Dollar Shake may be a little pricey for some.
Since this company is based out of Sussex, shipping may be an issue for us here
in the States. I believe shipping costs are €4.95, which I think converts
to $6.41 in US dollars (but I am not 100% on that). The cards themselves
usually run about €4.00 which converts to $5.18. That being said these cards ARE a
higher quality then the ones on the store and some of those can cost as much as
$6.00. So if you are looking for a high-end card to really show you care,
they are definitely worth a look.
Wanna learn more?
Feel free to visit the Five Dollar Shake Facebook page or browse their selection online.
