great idea!
A fellow blog reader, Lisa, mentioned a great idea that is worth sharing.
Most of you are ordering multiple holiday card kits. For example, if you send cards to about 60 people, you're getting 2 kits because there are 30 greeting cards in each kit. Because there are a lot of "bonus" cards and chipboard tags in each kit, this may give you more than you'll need for your own thank-you's and neighbor gifts, etc.
So what do you do with the extras? Lisa suggests bundling some of the cards & envelopes & tags to give to teachers or others that you may think will enjoy those. She mentioned putting them in a basket for cute presentation. Great idea, Lisa!
By the way, a few of you commented about the pink snowflake rub-ons in the card kit and how they looked GREAT once they were rubbed onto the green. That's fantastic! What started out to be a mistake has turned out to work just fine. Thanks for telling us. So how's that for good luck!?
And speaking of good luck ... you know what's a really good idea?? The fact that you have a chance at winning a free Holiday Card Kit! Yep - time for another good ol' fashioned give-away on the blog. Leave your name, city, and state in the Comments and I'll announce some winners in a couple days.

Before I sign off today, I know many of you are highly anticipating the new Twilight movie coming out this week. I personally haven't read the books. GASP! I know. Am I like the only woman on this planet who hasn't read the series? Don't give me a hard time. I just haven't made much time for reading novels lately. It's the whole prioritizing thing. ANYway ... I'm bringing it up because my friends have designed these t-shirts that some of you will probably want to jump on. Check it out.

What's even more shocking is that I read Twilight and have no desire to read the rest of the series or see the movie. Horrifying, I know.
