Bowdabra is one of those products that should probably be filed under the “Wish I thought of that” category. A very simple product addressing a fairly common need…Bow making. It really does make any gift look polished and elegant. A while ago we sought (and obtained) permission from the inventor of this product to use the how-to videos on Youtube. Little did we know that the Hair Bow video would be our number 1 most viewed video. We’ve posted various things about the b... Read Full Story

Continuing in the “Odd History” series of blog posts this week, I am proud to bring you the “Odd History of Halloween.”  I can’t think of a better topic to write on regarding “odd histories” than Halloween.   I mean really, think about it: people dressing up in costumes, going door to door in their communities, asking complete strangers for candy.  Or sticking your head in a tub of water and grabbing apples with just your teeth.  Or carving a pumpkin with a face and sticking a candle inside t...

It’s official, the cute couple photo contest is off and running. You may know that this is the 3rd contest we’ve run recently and each one has gotten a little better, more organized, more focused and I think more fun. Our first two contests were strictly for babies or young kids. We had so much fun looking at all the photos as they came in and the voting was certainly no easy task. For our latest contest we’ve decided to move up in the age categories a bit and see what Cute... Read Full Story

Having a little one myself, I’m very appreciative of all the gifts we received from friends and family during the baby showers for my wife. It’s the perfect way to get both the things you want/need as well as those gifts your loved ones just know will come in handy even if you can’t quite see how. Now just think how much more important those things are if there are twins on the way. Yeah, two babies is a lot of work and promises to be very expensive for all those supplie... Read Full Story

When I came up with the idea of doing a regular post to spotlight out templates I knew that they wouldn’t be on our available online until we launched our new websites. The main goal was to bring light to these exciting new products we have and to show some of the cool designs we’ve come up with. For today’s Card Corner though, I have decided to write about one that is currently on the website and you can customize it yourself! Enter: Casino Party Casino Party was designed a...

We have the winning kid photo and the design for the card the winner is receiving (100 postcards)! As parents we are all biased for our children, but as in any contest there must be a winner. This winner, I think, is very deserving of the prize and I am proud to be able to announce this contest winner! The design for this card was provided by the winner, which I think is awesome and the design is currently with the very able hands of our own graphics/prepress dept. folks. It will soon be s...

When I was growing up, there was this building just across the way from the local city pool that was setup as sort of a teen hang out place. All the cool older kids hung out there, played bumper pool, ping-pong, and of course, standard 8-ball pool (or billiards). Ever since then, shooting pool has always been that much cooler to me. It’s one of those games that you play while enjoying the good company of friends, coworkers or just the others there that night. What better way to have a l... Read Full Story
