I carry a small RW deck in my purse (plus a few other essentials like a small cloth, tea light size candles, and a couple of crystals). Every once in a while someone I'm with will ask for a reading. Nothing paid, no big deal. Anyway, invariably during or after the reading they want to jot down some notes. So, now we're both scrambling for a stray scrap of paper. It usually ends up to be the back of a Walmart reciept or some other piece of wadded up paper.
I could just include a small note pad in my little goodie bag, but wouldn't it be nice to actually have some kind of small note pad or cards that had tarot type images on them? I suppose I could computer generate my own, but then how would I collate them? Ummm, Kinkos I guess.
Anyway, does anybody know of a site that has anything like this? Any info would be appreciated.

I quite often illustrate letters to a few pen pals with images off the internet. Open your Word program & go online, then you can right click an image you like (find a tarot site with cards you find appealing) and cut & paste it to your Word program, you can use it as a logo for the top of the page, or another halfway down & cut the page into two pieces--you'll end up with illustrated paper that way with still lots of room to write. You can resize the image smaller too. If you go larger, the image looks worse, so smaller is the better way to go.
I wouldn't recommend it for paper you want to sell, but as a decorative thing for a person getting a reading, it would be a nice touch.
There's sure to be notepads out there somewhere (any on eBay?), but I haven't run across any, personally.

Thank you everybody!!! so much!!! After much consideration I think I am going to save my pennies for the complete small set of major arcana stamps. That way, after I do a reading there will perhaps be one particular major that stood out.....and I can put a little stamp of the card on their note sheet. Nice touch......but of course then there is the ink pads to deal with. In the meantime while I'm saving some money for those I will use one of the downloaded clip arts for some small stationary sheets.
Although I'm not saving money as fast as I'm spending it....... I have a Gilded and a Gothic on the way....... and bought the Gendron, and a mini RW, Connelly, and Universal decks at Borders today. And since Joanne Fabrics is right across the street I had to divest myself of some cash there too ( I'm a sewing addict).
Anyway, that's the plan.

Years ago, I made some stationary for notepads: I used WordPerfect to make a simple one line across the top and bottom, printed them at Kinko's and had them cut and pad them too. Came out pretty cool! If you do something simple with your name at the top or contact info at the bottom, they know who to ask if they need more info on their readings!

Those stamps intrigue me. I could see using the small set to stamp the cards in my tarot journal, rather than write in their names. Sometimes, I paste in postage sized scans of certain cards, if the page needs a bit of color.

Ambermoon - those stamps are great aren't they? They could have so many uses. And craft/fabric stores sell lots of colored ink pads, some even varigated. I really think that will be my next non essential purchase.
