Tiny Oranges – Fresh, fun blog for OC moms

Each Mother’s Day since becoming a mother myself, I love sending out “Happy Mother’s Day” cards to not only my own amazing mother and mother-in-law, but my nearest and dearest mommy friends as well.  I think it is a great time to recognize my friends for all the hard work they do all year round, 24/7!    

Imagine my delight this year when I discovered GeTogethers.com, a SUPER cute stationery company that allows you to personalize cards for any occasion!   Bingo!  I found my Mother’s Day cards and as a BONUS I can have it printed with my own name!  I chose “With love & admiration, Jen” because really, I am in total admiration of my mommy friends and all they do.  

Not only can you customize with your signature (and even photo if you like!), but you get to pick out of a selection of cute borders, sashes, icons and envelopes as well.   I had almost as much fun designing it as I will have sending them out.

Here’s the greatest news…the price. 12 blank cards are only $20, and personalized are only $25! 

And…receive 6 FREE invites, announcements, greetings or photo cards when you mention “Tiny Oranges” in the “Special Instructions Box” when checking out with your first order of 12 cards or more.  They turn out to be cheaper than some individual store bought cards and are way more fun and personal!   

Make sure to check out her selection of invites, announcements and photo cards for any occasion as you can personalize and customize for all.

We are quickly approaching my absolute favorite time of year…holiday photo card time!!     After Thanksgiving passes, daily trips to my mailbox make me absolutely giddy.  My love of holiday photo cards is a bit of an obsession, just ask my husband.  I decorate our doorway with garland and holly, and use little Christmas-themed clothes pins to hang them, so I can see each and every one.  It is a bit of a ritual, getting the mail, opening each one, and then carefully arranging and rearranging them around the doorway, so each has a prime location.   Seeing friends and their families brings me so much joy during the month of December.     

Anyway, whether it is a photo holiday card, birth announcement, invitation or otherwise, I just adore getting cards with pictures on them and seeing friends and their kid’s darling little faces!   Meet Huff Studios, a company that allows you to design and create your own personalized gifts and cards, using your own special photos.    Check out their website for lots of fun products and ideas.   If you don’t see the exact card you were looking for, no problem!  They will work with you to custom design one for you!
