Make Your Own Tiny Cards - and try out my Tiny Cards on Proverbs (for Travellers)

Problem
Do you want to remember capitals of the world? Somebody has already made a set of tiny cards which you can use to test yourself. Do you want to remember or learn a few words in Chinese or Spanish? Somebody else has already created a tiny cards set. What else do you need to remember/ The best way is to create a set of tiny cards to remind yourself. No point - you are already bilingual. Want to set yourself up as an authority or teacher?

Answer
Create a set of tiny cards. I just made a set of proverbs. To me they all sounded obvious. However, when I tried them out on a member of my family, I was gratified to find that at least one of my cards was entirely new to them. That means that several will be new to other people.

I wanted to find out how it is done. It's ever so easy. Type in the title and you are offered a dozen or more possible covers for your set, different typefaces and styles.

Then you have the front and back cover and type in what you like. I chose English language proverbs.

Subjects covered are what travellers should remember, and include tidiness and being late. Can you guess what the proverbs are?

(In case you are wondering why the tiny cards are in a different name, Lansbury is my maiden name which I use for most of my writing.)

Happiness jar - holiday souvenirs? What do you collect? Souvenirs of the holiday, year, or day?

A friend on Facebook mentioned their Happiness jar. What a great idea. I must make a happiness jar. 

How about a travel memory jar, too. But it would be full of chocolate wrappers from restaurants. In the old days it was matchbook covers. That's just restaurants.

What about hotel souvenirs? If you are lucky you can get hotel pens with names. Or shower gels. (Too big for a jar. I used to collect travel brochures, maps and postcards. I used to send myself a postcard to get the stamp.

What do you collect?

I have a five year diary. It should be a happiness diary. 

I could add a happy saying, motivational quotation, or humorous quotation.

I could quote the family. Or write down a family joke.

In each country of the day I could write a proverb or saying.

I could go through the countries of the world and learn about a new country every day.

I looked up souvenir songs to see if I can find something happy. Souvenirs to Souvenirs sung by Demis Roussos is a miserable song about seeing reminders of a lost love. Is it any coincidence that his surname ends SOS! That was how I remembered the spelling of his name. I'll look for some happier songs - to cheer me and you.

You can see this post was written - but I've updated it later. Re-writing history. However, I'll create a new post under today's date - so read on subsequent posts.
