Monday Meows

Hi everyone it's Cody! So, did everyone have a great weekend? I sure hope so! I had to take over the blogging duties today because Mom is a food and cake over-loaded slug.

For those who may not have known, this past weekend was Mom's birthday, she had a great time, in fact, it was SO great, that at the last minute she turned the blogging responsibilities over to ME!

Mom originally was going to read and  review  Ingrid King's new book, Purrs Of Wisdom, but Mom had to reschedule that for Monday, November 26th (we thank Ingrid for her gracious understanding when Mom contacted her last week to let her know that due to her being busy celebrating  consuming mass quantities of food and cake for her birthday, she couldn't put down her fork,  shovel, long enough to read the book over the weekend). Then, Mom was going to  blog about her trip to Purina, which may I remind Mom was the FIRST week of October? I'll do some paw-whapping on her and get her to move her butt on THAT one!

While I was twitching my whiskers and tapping my paws trying to come up with a topic for today's post, after consulting with my slacker Mom, I have decided to show you a few of Mom's favorite cards that she received for her birthday.

Here you go!

Card is from American Greetings

Dad bought Mom the above card. He said it reminded him of yours truly. He said it was because of the crabby face. I have no idea what he is talking about, this card looks NOTHING like me! I am much more handsome than this sorry kitty!

Card is from Northern Exposure

Mom really oooohed and ahhhhed over this one! Look at how that orange tabby has his paw on top of the kitty's head! MOL! This card was from my Aunt Judy. Mom loves it!

Card is an Ink Loft card from Gartner Greetings Inc.

This card was another from Dad. He said it reminded him of Dakota and I.  Nice try Dad but neither the dog NOR the cat looks ANYTHING like either one of us! Mom loved the card anyway!

Last, but far from least, was a surprise graphic....you'll know who this is from the second you look at it!

Card is from Glogirly

Mom received this adorable photo from the gang over at GLOGIRLY: Katie, Waffles and Katie's uber-talented Mom !! To keep up with all of the fun that goes on over at Katie's blog, click here to visit! Mom was tickled PINK to receive this! Thank you again to all at Glogirly for such a nice surprise!

Mom received other cards that she loved, but I have decided to only feature the ones that pertained to Cats!

Well, that's about it for this Monday's post. Oh wait! I forgot! Mom wanted me to be sure to thank ALL OF YOU who took time out of your busy weekend to stop by our blog and wish Mom a Happy Birthday. She said to be sure to tell ALL of you how special you are and how much ALL of your greetings touched her and made her SMILE! She said that EVERYONE helped make her birthday extra special, and she (and I) are grateful for each and every one of you!!!

Ok, that's enough gushing from me. I'm about to cough up a fur-ball from all of this sugar!

May the FUR be with you!

No More Store Bought Cards For Me! Not Since I Found Greeting Card Universe!

I was first contacted by a lovely woman from Greeting Card Universe back in September. Before I visited their site I was skeptical, that didn't last long. After one visit, I was sold!

When I first agreed to do a review of their cards I was given the opportunity to select five free greeting cards. Four of these in this photo were what I selected. I chose the Holiday Card Category featuring Cats because whenever I would search in the stores for holiday cards that featured cats,  they were few and far between.

When the cards arrived I was so pleased that when it came time to order my Jewish New Year cards, rather than purchasing cards from the store, I chose to order my custom cards through Greeting Card Universe! Those were selected and purchased by me.

Also, when I first agreed to do a review of their cards I was not an affiliate for Greeting Card Universe. Guess what? As of Sunday, I am! I chose to become  an affiliate because I am more than satisfied with the selection of cards, the number of various card categories, the quality and the price. (If you wish to purchase any cards check out the widget on my side bar.)

I had become tired of purchasing cards at mainstream venues such as drug stores and grocery stores. My husband and I had a running joke of seeing how many cards we could purchase each year that were  duplicates of what we had given each other in the past!!
Thankfully those days are long gone!

You can "find any card imaginable!" on Greeting Card Universe. You can search or click through their categories. You can buy your cards "as is" or customize your cards with your own photos, verses, etc.

From Greeting Card Universe: "Producing high quality custom greeting cards has been Greeting Card Universe's goal from its inception in 2000. Greeting Card Universe is the world's largest online greeting card store. Personalize your own card and we'll ship it to you or directly to the recipient. Over 1000 new custom cards are added each day!"
