Hello, I’m Barbara Manning
I’m the owner and designer of Handcrafted Greeting Cards
Crafting these greeting cards is my passion. I’m delighted you’ve decided to visit and explore my website today, and I hope you find my greeting cards to your liking.
Handcrafted Greeting Cards is a small operation run by myself and with occasional help from my Husband Carl. Although I’m a small operation I will still do my best to answer and respond to all inquiries except “Solicitations” which I automatically report as SPAM. I really dislike SPAM and those who repeatedly do so.
About Me
My childhood was spent in Southeastern North Carolina. My father was a Navy Veteran in World War 2, and an Assistant Fire Chief. Mom was a homemaker, wife, mother, grandmother, and the rock of our family while Dad worked long hours. I was the oldest of my 3 siblings and it was a delightful time to be a kid in the United States of America.
I later married a lovely man, Carl. He is now a proud, retired Vietnam Veteran from the U.S. Army Green Berets. Having had the opportunity to live in various places within the USA, as well as abroad, we are now retired back in Southeastern North Carolina, surrounded by family and friends.
I have always kept myself busy. I love crafting, which began as scrapbooking and slowly graduated into these handcrafted greeting cards. I realized that I had so many of them that maybe I should explore selling them online. So I talked my brother into building me this website to reduce my inventory while still producing even more.
Thank you for your support, and happy shopping!
Barbara
