Cards! Christmas and Thank You’s!!

I am a big on sending Thank You notes. I think there is something so special about receiving a note in the mail.  Receiving a pretty Thank You card is even more special, which is why I really love these flat, chevron, style cards.

Thank You note cards designed by Belle Announcements. The set includes 10 flat cards and 10 envelopes. Such a beautiful light turquoises blue in the chevron design. “Thank you” and the flower in the corner are in a deep turquoise blue.

Each design is printed on quality card stock and trimmed to 4.25 by 5.5. The edges of the cards are rounded.  The entire effect is stunning.  At $8.50 for 10 and free shipping these are a perfect Thank You card to have on hand! I know for me, having pretty paper to write on, makes it so much easier to write my Thank You’s!!

Next are these adorable little Bamboo Cow Gift Tags!! I can’t wait to add these to the gifts under the tree!!  These are the cutest cards!!  Printed on 2″ by 3.5″ Bamboo Cardstock. There is a design on both the front and the back. This set includes 10 gift cards with 5 red and 5 green envelopes. SO VERY ADORABLE!!!! $5.00 for the set. (I have to say it again….I love, love, love this little cow!! Must be the farm girl in me!!)

The cute little Owl Gift Tags were so adorable I used them as place cards at Thanksgiving. SO CUTE!!!  You get 20 Owl Gift Tags. The cards are 2″ by 3.5″ and are printed on 110 lb linen cardstock. Envelopes are not included with this set. These are so cute and will be perfect under the tree!!  20 tags are $6.00

Belle Announcements uses real liquid ink. This means the ink soaks deeply into the cardstock for a rich finish vs a dry ink process that leaves dots in the colors.

These cards are quality, handmade perfection!!

I really love the amazing selection at Belle Announcements!!  You owe it to yourself to take a look! I’d love to know your favorite!!

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Bust Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is a bit like digital archaeology: you head in to dust the archives and end up unearthing questionable life choices from years ago. Between the over-filtered photos and advice that’s aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud.

The Ghost in the Machine: Lately, I’ve been dealing with a resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine. This digital poltergeist has been causing chaos behind the scenes:

• The Vanishing Act: Deleting images and leaving empty boxes where helpful tutorials used to be.
• The Link Graveyard: Sneakily swapping my trusted brand partners for sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Reverting my modern, clean text back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

The 2026 Refresh Plan: I’m giving my archives a facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing and my readers happy. Here’s my step-by-step exorcism:

1. Exorcise 404s: Running a broken link checker to find and fix every dead end.
2. Modernize the Recommendations: Swapping outdated 2019 products for my 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Updating metadata to ensure my focus keywords are in the headers and the introduction for maximum impact.

Stick Around Please

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house, check out these (very much alive) links:

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, why wouldn’t you take the free money?
