Today when so much "communicating" is done online or by e-mail, getting a card in the mail is extra special! What girl doesn't love receiving mail. :) Birthday cards, thank you cards, or "just because" cards mean so much to the receiver when they are handwritten. You are giving a piece of yourself when you take the time to hand write your note.
Who can you bless today with a hand written card?

FREE Photo Card plus $25 Shutterfly Credit
Right now at Shutterfly you can order a FREE Photo Card ($2.39 value) with the code CARD4U. You'll still need to pay shipping ($0.99), but it's still a great deal. You can choose to have the card sent to you or directly to the recipient. I've done both ways and been very pleased. This coupon expires February 1.
Also speaking of Shutterfly photo cards, if you have a blog or website, you can get a $25 Shutterfly credit just for posting a photo card project on your blog or website! If you're new to Shutterfly, this would be a perfect way to try out their products!
Once you've created your photo card simply go to "My Projects" and select the photo card you want to use. Click the "share" button on the right hand side of the page. Follow the directions you are given and once your project is posted (and if you have a Blogger account it's REALLY easy), e-mail the link for your post to the e-mail address you are given. They'll check out the link and send you your code!
This promotion ends January 31st and the $25 Shutterfly credit must be placed in your account by February 15th. but you'll have until August 31st to actually use the code.

Half Price or FREE Amazon Gift Cards!
Today only, Living Social (an online deals site), has $20 Amazon gift cards for $10! If you order from Amazon, you may want to check out this deal. To make it even better, after you purchase this deal (which is only good TODAY), if you refer 3 friends and they also purchase this deal, you'll get your $20 Amazon gift card FREE. You can order one card per e-mail address.
These Amazon gift cards don't expire, so you can hold on to your card until a really great deal comes up or you were going to purchase something anyway.
If you're interested in this deal, I'd be grateful if you'll be one of my 3 referrals by using this link to sign up. Once you've signed up, if you don't see the Amazon deal, go to "more deals" and choose Chicago, and you'll find the Amazon deal!

Shutterfly & Artscow
I'm definitely not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy taking nature photos when I can. In the spring and summer when the flowers are in bloom, it's fun to take my camera outside and see what I can capture. Flowers make beautiful photos, but when you add birds, bees or butterflies, then the photos are even more special! :)
Once I have captured a photo I like, I enjoy turning those photos into photo cards (like the one in the post below), calendars, or other photo gifts. Shutterfly and Artscow are the two photo companies I have used the most, and I really like both of them.
Shutterfly offers really nice photo books, calendars, photo cards, and many other photo gifts besides many sizes of photo prints. I've been pleased with everything I've gotten from them. You can also get CASH BACK on your Shutterfly purchases when you order through Shop at Home, Big Crumbs, or E-bates! Combining that with a free shipping promotion and/or sales, and you can get a really good deal on your photos or photo gifts! If you haven't tried Shutterfly yet, you can get 50 free photo prints just for signing up!
Artscow is another of my favorite photo places! Not only do they have wonderful photo gifts (books, calendars, mugs, magnets, key chains, tote bags, camera cases, etc.) and prints, they are also known for their great coupons and FREE product codes! When you sign up, you receive 1200 free photo prints (600 4x6 and 600 5x7), 3 free 8x8 photo books, plus other gifts! There is also a forum where you can ask other members for certain coupon codes or share ones that you aren't going to be using!
If you're in need of photos or photo gifts, I'd encourage you to try out one of these photo sites!

Sneak Preview
Here's the latest creation from my sewing room. I have two of these made a 3/6 month size and an 18 month size. I'm waiting to send the bigger one to be modeled and photographed, but I thought I'd give my blog readers a sneak preview of the little one before it's even in my shop. :)
Isn't it sweet? The turquoise snowflake corduroy is so soft and the jumper is fully lined with white cotton fabric. I have more of this fabric waiting to be used (I purchased in on a really good sale), but first I have to figure out what to make with it. Any suggestions? :)
