This deck of Cards is a lovely pick-me-up on a blue day. It is a fun way of scaring away the depressions by simple ideas provided by the cards. You can do anything to make yourself feel happy, and the cards point out to you 52 ways of doing just that! I am going to collect lynn gordon's set of cards. Do yourself a favour and buy these cards...even when you are not in the mood to actually do what's on the card, just reading it will bring a smile to your face. And it makes a lovely gift!

Lynn Gordon put a lot of thought into creating these cards. There are a lot of great ideas in this deck to keep busy on days I'm feeling blue.

One of my favorite ideas was the "fun-o-dex" index card idea! I also enjoyed her ideas for creating scrapbooks filled with funny memories or really uplifting experiences that you have photos, postcards, letters, etc. Her idea for a "Blues-Away Kit" is great! I've got a lot of decorative boxes that I can use for holding these items so it's all in one place & can be pulled out of the closet when I'm blue. You'll really enjoy this deck of cards! :)

These cards are fun for one, as a gift, or great source of improvisational ideas for a group. They're great to take along for just-in-case-you-need-it situations or to spark a memory or conversation. And there are so many in the series you will never run out of fun.
