Take the Dare, Show you Care Challenge

Send Greeting Cards to Friends and Family to Show Them How Much You Care!

…

Finally, an easy way to personalize and send stylish greeting cards (the real ones, not the e-cards) in minutes. There is now no excuse not send a quick thank you, birthday or anniversary wishes, or your condolences or congratulations because you do not have the proper card on hand, can’t or don’t want to make a trip to the store, or simply have no idea what to say. Tiny Prints easy to use greeting card store not only has a great selection of cards by category, they also help you to choose the right words for the occasion and will even mail your card for you. You can either send a card as is or personalize it by adding the recipient’s name, your own sentiments, and even your own photos. Plus never forget another birthday, anniversary, mother’s day, father’s day, graduation, holiday, or other greeting card occasion with Tiny Prints calendar reminder feature!

…

Take the Dare, Show you Care

For years, I have admired the thoughtfulness of my good friend Carolyn and my great Aunt Libby – two amazing people who, year in and year out, always send the perfect card for every single occasion. I could never figure out how they managed to keep it all organized, and I am a pretty organized person. So starting today I personally have signed up for Tiny Prints new greeting card store free trial. Now I just need to get myself organized enough to enter all my family and friends’ birthdays and anniversaries into Tiny Prints calendar reminder feature!

…

I challenge all of you to do the same. In fact, if you do Take the Dare, Show you Care Challenge and sign up for Tiny Prints new greeting card store free trial, leave a comment. We would love to hear your story but a simple “I did it” is great, too.

…

Marcia’s Story

I like to think of myself as a thoughtful person but if I am honest with myself, much of my thoughtfulness is just that … thinking about being thoughtful. Just in the last few months, both my friends Vicki and Karen lost their family dogs. They were heart broken and I knew it. For weeks I thought about sending a card but never seemed to get around to buying one. Eventually too much time passed. Yet another instance of thoughtfulness without thoughtful action.

…

Woulda Coulda Shoulda

All I woulda needed to do was sign on to Tiny Prints sympathy card selection and with a simple click of a button coulda ordered and mailed both Vicki and Karen one of these perfect cards designed to offer comfort and to help celebrate the life of their much-loved companion. My new resolution — no more shoulda‘s!

82nd Annual Academy Awards Nominated Films

Encourage your guests to watch as many nominated films as possible before the party — an educated crowd is always more fun and more invested in the evening. Although not all nominated films are currently available for purchase, many will be released in DVD or blu ray format a few days after the Academy Awards are broadcast. Films currently in stock are highlighted. Another option rather than buying the DVDs is to rent them by subscribing to Blockbuster or Netflix. With Netflix you can instantly watch the released movies on your computer or even your TV via Netflix ready devices like game consoles, TVs, Blu-ray players.

I you would like to cast your vote, our PartyIdeaPos.com on Squidoo has a fun interactive 82nd Annual Academy Awards Ballot. We will publish the results after the Oscars!

Delicious, Elegant, and a bit Whimsical – Small Bites

Use your imagination … display is key. Use martini glasses, wine glasses, champagne flutes, shot glasses, square plates, rectangular plates, and round plates. They don’t need to match and high quality clear or black plastic is fine.

Some of our favorites …

prosciutto and sliced smoked salmon wrapped asparagus tied with chives

salmon and/or tuna tartar

sushi

deviled eggs

mini burgers and pigs in a blanket

sliced filet mignon on baguette topped with a dollop of horseradish sauce

gazpacho

tea sandwiches (be sure to cut off the crusts and use cookie cutters to create interesting shapes)

cheese tortellini with various sauces
quesadillas
individual pizza slices with interesting toppings
marinated herrings on mini pumpernickel breads
