  • It’s hard to be a saint

    This card was fun to research and find an appropriate saying to pair with it. In the end I decided that religious or not, we can all agree that its not easy being a saint – especially when there is work to get done, or beds to be made, or children that need feeding. But having the right attitude can sure make a difference in the outcome of any chore or task. Saint or not, what are your dreaded tasks that could use a morning prayer or glass of wine at the end of the day?

    This card makes me chuckle. When designing it, I intended to portray the image that good kings are best served when they serve their people. But when it came off press I kept wanting to read it instead of true kings serve their people well but as true kings serve their people hell. Because really; what king hasn’t served hell  to some degree on a silver platter throughout history?

      Love that first one! I hate to say this, I really do, but I just thought I’d let you know that “Its”–it need’s an apostrophe. It’s. Still so cute, I want one!!

      Well for heaven’s sakes, I hate its vs. it’s – it’s hard to be a saint ;) I’ll just have to re-plate it!

      I think “hell” is the much more appropriate line. ;-) And I’m hoping you sell the whole combo as a boxed set! My dad (Chess guru, once beat an International Master) would LOVE these and his birthday is in September…
