Y Note? Why?

I named my greeting cards "Y Note" because of John, my husbands best friend from college. He used to always call me "Lynda with a Y." Over time it just became "Y." There are those who would say that is a good name for me - I always want more information, want to know "why," never got over being 2 years old...

Plus it sounds like High Note, and when I'm sending someone a card, I want it to hit a high note, something beautiful that is a refreshing breather from the stresses and strains of daily life. We live in a beautiful world - its just easy to forget that!

I take pictures because it is such an amazing world we live in; sometimes I see a flower and it just stops me in my tracks. Or a tree, or a waterfall. I want to share it with everybody I love, I want them to have that same breathless moment of being lost in beauty. Since I can't carry everyone around with me, I send them cards that hopefully say to them - see, this was a wonderful moment, and you were there with me in my heart.

When I started creating sets of cards to give as gifts, people said they loved sending them, so I wanted anyone who was interested to be able to see what the story was behind their picture.
