Hippity Hoppity... Easter's on it's way!





The birdies are foraging the hill in our backyard and you know what that means.... spring is not that far away!! Forget that groundhog- the birds really know what's up! We went for a long drive over the weekend and though there were still snow patches here and there we saw the first grass buds popping up in the wheat fields! Oh how I'm longing for spring... speaking of spring, there's a new batch of springtime Easter Photo Cards up on My Good Greetings! They're so cute- you must take a peak!

Hello Canada and UK!!

Good News-- I'm so excited to announce that MyGoodGreetings has gone international! Last night we opened up the website to include orders from Canada and the UK. We had a lot of requests from these areas during the holidays so I'm so thrilled to be able to ship to these areas. We will still use the USPS for our international shipping, which takes 6-10 days. Exciting!!!

Ooo Baby Baby! -- Or not!




We have a few new baby birth announcements up at MyGoodGreetings. I love the earthy feeling to these and the fact that they are gender neutral- perfect for mommies who aren't crazy about the traditional pink or blue. You can check them out here- Earth Baby Announcements. Also, did you realize that all of the text on our cards are fully customizable online. So these don't even have to be Baby Announcements necessarily-- How about loading up photos of the new graduate!! Or using one of these gorgeous cards for a 50th Birthday Invitation?! Now that's an Aha moment!!

Feeling good about being a (reusable) Bag Lady!

I'm a little proud of myself today and had to share-- We took the family to Wal-Mart today. When it's 30 degrees again outside, Wal-Mart becomes a family outing- LOL! We had various things in our cart from a new wine opener to hot dogs. We got to the checkout line and I realized I forgot my reusable bags AGAIN! I own the reusable bags- have for a long, long time, but I cannot seem to remember to use them!! Arg!! It think it's because my multi-tasking brain is rarely in the moment. I'm usually thinking four steps ahead while driving to the store, getting the kids out of the car, walking to the store etc. My brain could be anywhere from what are we having for dinner to making a mental note that I need to call the mechanic to get the headlight fixed. My brain is never on the task at hand- ergo my reusable bags always get left behind in the car.

So since we were all together- including hubby- I ran back to the car as fast as I could and got the reusable bag. I say bag because there was only one in the car- the rest were back in the house waiting for the day I would remember to get them into the car. I rushed back with it and asked the checkout lady to stuff it full with as much as she could. So she did, but then she would try to grab a plastic bag and I'd have to tell her to keep stuffing it in. We got it all in exept the large mound of paper towels- which came in there own lovely plastic protector. We went to leave and she handed me one plastic bag- which contained hubby's 6 pack of beer (a must for today's big game). I asked her to remove it from the plastic bag and she couldn't. Did you know that alcohol has to leave the store in a bag? I had no idea. So- not to be dismayed- the second we were out the door I took the beer out of the bag and ran the plastic bag back to the Wal-Mart plastic bag turnabout.

After all that, I'm proud to say that no plastic bags made it home to our house today!! Yahoo!!!
