TODAY, Nov 26th is Small Business Saturday!

What is "Small Business Saturday®" and why is it important? AMEX started promoting this as a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.

On November 26, everyone is being asked to "Shop Small" with their favorite local stores and home-based businesses to help fuel the economy. When we all shop small, it will be huge!

If you haven't ordered your holiday cards yet, you can help support my small business AND I have a great sale to offer you. 20% off all cards. Cards start as low as $0.64 and I take care of designing the cards for you!

Here's some of the latest samples of card designs:

Do Something EASY & MEANINGFUL for Our Military This Holiday Season

“Everyone has a purpose in life…a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.” - Deepak Chopra


On Veterans Day last week, we reflected on the sacrifices members of the U.S. Armed Forces made and continue to make everyday to protect our freedoms. I am so grateful for this and wanted to find a way to show my appreciation and help others do the same.

Sending a “touch of home” to American men and women who serve our country is the perfect way to express your appreciation and support during the holiday season. Making a card is a simple act of kindness that means the world to our soldiers and their families, especially during this time of the year.

If you'd like to make a hero feel special this holiday season, please consider sending a card through my Heritage Makers website to the Holiday Mail for Heroes program. I designed four different card templates to use especially for this. They were just approved and loaded into our template gallery yesterday.



It's EASY and only takes a few minutes. Cards as low as $0.64
