WOW! This was incredible! Thank you all for participating in the 12 Cards of Christmas 10th anniversary giveaway. I got hundreds of comments on the blog and different social media platforms. I loved all your comments and kind words. Luckily I didn’t have to collect it all, because I’m sure I would have left some of you out… In today’s technology there is special tools to do that for you. So the app collected all the comments and extra entries and I picked the winners in a random draw. However, there is a little snag… Some of you only added your first names so in order to identify the winners I had to use emails and/or social media handles. I want to avoid posting these details in a public post like this so I’ll only post a list of first names here and I’ll contact the winners via email or on social media DM. If you see …

Inside: how to make gift card giving a fun and personal experience! This post has a sponsored link to a website, meaning I was paid to promote it but did not test or review any of the products in it and so this post is not to be considered as a recommendation. When I was a kid I couldn’t wait for my birthday because I knew I was going to get toys and gifts I liked. I was always disappointed when I got a gift card because I couldn’t play with it and for me it was just a piece of plastic. When I grew up my feeling about personalized gifts changed completely and I always hoped to get a gift card because that meant I could get what I wanted and needed! However for some reason getting gift cards was boring and seemed un-special because all I got was a piece of plastic in an envelope. …

Inside: smart ways to use all your old cards from the holidays. Instead of throwing them away reuse and re-purpose them ! This time of year we all have many cards around the house. On one hand I always feel really bad throwing them away because people took the time to pick them, write something and then send them but on the other hand I don’t really want to keep them because it’s just a card with a few words like I get every year and if I keep them all I’ll need another room… Lol So I started thinking if keeping them or throwing them were my two only options… apparently not! WAYS TO USE OLD CARDS KEEP THEM Keep cards from special events like a wedding or Bar-Mitzva as a piece of family history to show your children or grandchildren. Don’t keep all of them just the ones with special design, words …
