What kind of cards do you send out for Christmas? Do you do a photo holiday card like you see on the left? In my family, that is exactly what I do. A lot of the people we send Christmas cards to only see my kids a couple of times a year.  It is a great way to show them how much my kids have grown.  I’ve done it both ways too — either just the kids or us as a family.  I also love receiving cards like this, so I can see how their kids have grown over the last year.

If you are looking for a huge selection of Photo Holiday Cards, you need to go check out Tiny Prints!  They truly have cards for every occasion that you could want.  They have both regular cards and photo cards too.  However, Tiny Prints and I are working together to offer you an awesome contest.  You can win your holiday card package with matching postage (Winner to receive 50 of the selected card, 72 address labels and 60 stamps with the matching card design.).  What do you have to do to win this?

1.  You need to visit their Tiny Prints Holiday Photo Cards selection and tell me which holiday card has “slushy to chic” in the description.  Once you have found it, put a fun and creative greeting on it.

2.  After you have found the card, click “ask a friend” and enter my email lisareviewsATgmail.com.  Also, click “save in favorites”

3.  Then I just need you to put in the comments of this post your greeting!

I will be selecting the winner from those who pick the correct card and come up with the most creative greeting!  Now, you can only win once, but you can enter as many times as you like.  If you have won a Tiny Prints contest in the last 90 days, you aren’t eligible.  The contest is to run from October 20, 2008 through Friday, November 7, 2008.  Contestants also relinquish greeting text ownership and allow Tiny Prints to use their entries for promotional use.  Stamps will be fulfilled separately from Tiny Prints order.  Best of all, this contest is offered to everyone no matter where you live!  I know that sometimes if you live outside of the US you miss out on a lot of these great contests.  Tiny Prints understand that and has opened it up to everyone!

Good Luck!

I have always loved this show, and this season has not disappointed me yet. I thought I was going to miss Sara since she left the show. However, the expert writing has easily made her disappear from our minds. Each week I am anticipating the story. I am glad they got away from the more personal stuff and is sticking more to the story of the crime (though I did love the miniature killer). I almost had to turn it off 2 weeks ago when they did the story on the 3 year old (I won’t give it away in case you haven’t seen it). You know it good when it hits that close to home. I love all the interesting stuff they can do like taking finger prints from a faucet or figuring out the trajectory of the bullet that killed somebody. The show made being a CSI look glamorous.  If you need an awesome show to watch on Thursday nights (or you can catch the reruns on Spike all week long), make sure you tune into CSI!

Since Will’s first birthday is coming up soon (June 7th to be exact), I am already on the lookout for birthday party invitations. I don’t have the creativity I once had and have been on the lookout for cute things I can do. Izzyprints your one stop shop for both birthday invitations and birth announcements.  This site has so many cute invitations it is super hard to decide which one I should go for.  The site is super easy to navigate and you can easily find what you are looking for.  They also have holiday and thank you cards if you are looking for those.  Their prices are in line with other sites.  Processing takes 2-3 days and you get to choose your shipping method.  I love that you can preview the changes you make anytime you want too.  They also let you order a couple extra envelopes in case you mess up!  You are able to order invitations in lots of 25.  If you are in need of invitations, check out Izzyprints.com.

You wouldn’t think it would be very difficult to be able to find Workbenches or design tables for homes. However, it is. Since Bill often brings prints home to work on, it is hard to find a big enough table for him to work on. A table that you can change the angle would make his life even better. Formaspace has exactly what we need at a decent price. It also is super easy to get a catalog. It is one of the first things you see on their site. You are also able to design your own bench. If you are in the market for this, I would definitely check out Formaspace!
