Free Card for Grandparents' Day 2012

Without Grandparents, Paul and I would burnout. Our parents actively interact with our children and truly help us train and instruct them.

In honor of Grandparents’ Day on September 9, 2012, CardStore.com released promotional code CCK2248 for a free card. I used this promotional code to snag a free Grandparents’ Day card, chose shipping to recipient, and paid nothing.

Free Card Ordering

When I ordered, I chose a photo card, uploaded the selected pictures, personalized the text, and selected checkout. After making my shipping selection (self or recipient) with the correct address, I added promotional code CCK2248 in the promotional code box. My total was $0.00 with free shipping.

Ordering Deadline

This offer is valid until Sunday, August 26. Remember, Grandparents’ Day is September 9. In using time wisely, take 10 minutes to design and order your free card from Cardstore.com today. Happy creating!

Question: What type of card will you create?

Time got away from me last weekend. I created one Grandparent’s Day card, but I needed more time to capture the pictures from my files for the other card.

With a little more time this weekend, I found them. Thankfully, CardStore.com came to my rescue with another promotional code good for a $.99 Grandparent’s Day Card. Whew!

I hope you got the free card last week, but if not, then you can use promotional code CCK2099 to get one Grandparent’s Day card for $.99 with free shipping.

With Grandparent’s Day fast approaching on Sunday, September 9, I chose to have the card mailed directly to Paul’s parents. My total came to $.99 exactly.

You have until 11:59 p.m., Sunday, September 2 to order your card. In using time wisely, place your order this weekend because time is running out. 😉 Happy creating!

Question: Are you ready for Grandparents’ Day?

Safety month officially begins in October, but safety is a 12-month awareness topic.

Children need constant reminding and practice. At least, my kids do.

Learning the techniques and tools to assist in the safety of children is using time wisely.

With students returning to school, Old Navy has partnered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to offer a free Kids’ Safety Event.

Thursday to Sunday,

September 13-16, 2012
