Dear Friend: Hi. I’m Steve Fadie, author of Words to the Rescue (WTTR), The sentiment guide for the tongue tied. If you want to learn how to quickly and easily create the best personal notes you’ve ever written, you’ve come to the right web site. Read on.
I was at a complete loss. Totally stuck.
Perhaps you can relate to this story. Years ago, as I ordered sympathy flowers, the florist asked the anxiety-inducing question you’ve probably heard many times, “What would you like the card to say?” I didn’t have a clue. I was stuck in a total brain freeze. I don’t recall what I scribbled on the card that day. But I DO remember thinking there must be a better way. That’s why I created WTTR… so you’ll never be at a loss for words.
Be prepared for everyday occasions, big and small
| Anniversary | Encouragement | Good Bye | Romance |
| Apology | Friendship | Miss You | Sympathy |
| Baby | Funeral | New Business | Thank You |
| Birthday | Get Well | New Home | Thinking of You |
| Congratulations | Graduation | Retirement | Wedding |
The spark you need to get your pen rolling
WTTR is twelve chapters overflowing with words you can use for big days… like birthdays, graduations and retirements. And words you can use everyday… thinking of you, get well, encouragement, romance and more. Find the right words for floral cards, greeting cards, note cards, scrap book pages, e-mail, e-cards, even birthday cakes. This handy soft cover 5×7 book contains page after page of examples… over 1000 in all. One thousand ways to inspire you. In fact, the entire book IS examples. So you’ll always find an idea to get your pen rolling.
The best part of the card is the part you write
Did you ever notice when you receive a greeting card…the most interesting part is the handwritten message from the sender? Think about it. A greeting card is penned by an anonymous writer. But your personal note, jotted in your handwriting, is one-of-a-kind… a priceless thing in today’s manufactured world. WTTR helps you write those kinds of messages.
Look at all the helpful ideas you’ll find:
89 notes to encourage friends and family when they’re down
50 idea starters to help you write a sympathy message
110 ways to say “happy birthday” to family and friends
69 ideas for apologies… with sincerity and wit
15 sentiments to congratulate the bride and groom
30 things you can jot on a new baby card
99 ways to express your thanks and gratitude
450 “Fast Phrases” to help cure your writer’s block instantly
Accchhh! Can’t find the right card?
Has this ever happened to you? You find yourself standing in the aisle of a greeting card store, frustrated because you cannot find what you need. Either the picture or illustration on a card isn’t right, or the words don’t say what you want them to. In any case, you don’t have an hour to sort through all the cards to find the right one. But you can’t leave the store without a card! So you buy a blank one.
Save time and money, write your own cards
With WTTR, you can make your blank card into exactly the card you want. With words that fit your unique situation. Years ago, I became frustrated with making a trip to the store every time I needed a card. Now I keep a variety of blank cards at home so I can create my own messages. Who has time to drive around looking for a card? Not me. And I’ll bet not you either. (If you’re the creative type, why not make your own cards, using the verses in WTTR.)

Give a thoughtful gift
Who do you know that sends greeting cards? The fact is, most people do. Why not give them a valuable reference they can turn to over and over throughout the year: WTTR is an ideal inexpensive gift. Give it with a set of notecards for an even bigger “wow” factor. Just think of all the people in your life that would love a copy…
| Friends | Dads | Pastors | Pet groomers | Waitresses |
| School Teachers | Grandpas | Bosses | Handymen | Dry cleaners |
| Principals | Grandmas | Caterers | Brokers | Tailors |
| Neighboors | Sisters | Hair stylists | Therapists | Newspaper carriers |
| Cousins | Brothers | Yoga instructors | Nurses | Bank tellers |
| Aunts | Cab drivers | Receptionists | Doctor | Personal Trainers |
| Uncles | Secretaries | Door man | Coaches | Bus drivers |
| Moms | Assistants | Mail carrier | Co-workers | Newlyweds |
The price of four typical greeting cards
Just how much would you pay for a book of this quality, overflowing with original never-before-published sentiments? Surprisingly it’s just $9.95. That’s about one penny for each thought, quote or phrase. Think about it. For the same price as four greeting cards at $2.50 each, you can have a book packed with clever and heart touching sentiments you can refer to over and over again, every time you’re stuck for the right words. What a deal.

I just got your new Words to the Rescue 2 and even got you to sign the book how cool I’m sure I will use this one as much as the frist one ..Keep them coming couldn’t live with out them
I have already used some of your sayings, what a great idea. One I especially love that I’ve used with some “old broads” is, we may be over the hill, but we’re not over the thrill. Love it!
I really need a copy of this great book – it will RESCUE me!
Sounds like a great and useful book for anyone.

Sometimes i put my foot in my mouth . This may be a good read
I love the idea of this book!
I am always at a loss for words when writing inside a card…this is just what I need!
i love the idea of making my own cards… but i would definitely need a book like this for some help!
what a great idea. i know my mom has a lot of trouble coming up with things to write in a card.

Thanks for your kind words, Denise. From the feedback I’ve gotten so far, It seems being stuck for words now and then is pretty much a universal problem.
Love the book, Steve. Great product! Great price! I’m a writer myself, but sometimes I’m just stumped; that’s when Words to the Rescue comes in handy.
Hey Steve…I like your site.
By any chance are you planning to put this to a CD? I love the concept but would really like it for my computer. Could you let me know if you do. Thanks so much.
I would love to be notified if you ever have this on CD or downloadable!
This book would come in handy for me, because often I don’t say anything for certain events because I am afraid of saying the wrong thing.
I would love to have access to 450 “Fast Phrases” to help cure your writer’s block instantly.This looks to be a great all purpose book.
Your book looks amazing. I can’t wait to read it. It looks like it has such practical advice that will come in so handy when I get stuck with what to write.
I would love to give this to my sister!~
This would be a great resource for my autistic son, he has trouble with socially appropriate responses and this would be great scripting for him.
I would love to have this book to use in my everyday life as well as for sentiments for my handmade cards.
What a great concept…this is definitely a great gift for someone who has a big heart but has a hard time finding the right words!
Looking forward to reading this book! My husband will appreciate the help when filling out cards for flowers
What a great book! I would definitely keep this for myself!
I think this is a great book for quick things to say, or to help unleash your imagination in writing a long note or letter. The sayings are perfect for cards and I have a feeling this would be used a lot!
I love the concept of this book! I love words and usually want to find unique ways to express things – especially birthdays or congratulations! I think this book would be a big help – like when I’m sending a card for no reason.
What a fantastic resource! I can’t tell you how many times this book would have come in handy in just the last month.
This is an awesome idea!! Sometimes I find myself at a loss for words but I won’t with this book!! Thanks!! =)
Great book! I would LOVE to get this for my teens. They are at that awkward stage of not knowing what to say or write and what is appropriate. Thanks for this! Susie
Enjoyed meeting and talking with you at CHA. Best of luck with this great book!
Thank you for this great book, English as a second language , for me, it is not easy to find words to say, and this book will help me very much, thank you!
I love making handmade cards. I could use the book to make some very unique cards.
Great book…who doesnt need help with words sometimes.
This sounds like a great idea for a book, it could be a great source to use when writing friends and family
Especially after holidays when you feel like you are saying the same thing to every person in thank yous.
What a great idea! So many times I want to say something, but don’t know how to express what I want to say. I type messages to friends and family all the time….just to hit the almight DELETE button. I think your book could give me a kickstart to expressing my feelings to the ones I love!
I learned three wonderful words CURE WRITERS BLOCK! Where have you been all my life, what a wonderful idea.
Your words made my day Pauline. Making your own greeting cards is a satisfying way to express your creativity as well as honor another person. Thanks for taking the time to write.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for a brilliant book. It’s invaluable and I have used it many times.
I like to make my own greetings cards when I can. but it is often difficult to find appropriate words to say.
I look forward to your next work of art.
Thank you!
Thanks Nettie. So nice to hear you will find my book useful. Jen was a joy to work besides. She is an enthusiastic promoter of 7gypsies products. I love my new receipt holder, hanging on my wall in my office.
Look up generous in my dictionary and you’ll see something amazing: Steve Fadie
Steve, Thank you for the copy of Words to the Rescue. You worked next to my coworker Jen while at ScrapFest and she said you were so kind and wanted to give each of us a copy. Thank you so much. You don’t know how handy this book will be (actually. . . I’m pretty sure you do know). Thank you again and best of luck!
Nettie
You got it. It’s the same guy, You can buy Words to the Rescue in select Barnes and Noble bookstores; if not on the shelf, they can order it for you. WTTR is also available in all 44 Archiver’s stores as well as many independent scrapbook retailers and gift shops. Let me know your city and I can tell you if there is one nearby.
Is this the same Steve Fadie that invented tag line cards ? I recall your name as I was in the floral industry for years before retirement. Can I purchase your new book at any bookstore ? Thanks cant wait to get it in my hands.
Yes I’ve seen it. You do a great job. It is worth considering for an upcoming promotion. Thanks for your interest in WTTR.
Glad you are finding WTTR helpful Debbie. Thanks for your note. I tried to include a variety of sentiments — some clever, some touching, and some just silly — to help card makers like you. Even when entries may be appropriate in several categories, they are not repeated. So be sure to check many chapters when browsing for ideas for your next card.
