My Opinion Counts

Aw, Elizabeth at Table4Five thinks I’m special enough to receive the cup cake award. Thanks Elizabeth! It is so cute and I am so honored. If I knew how to make a badge, I would make her one. She is a great friend and blogging buddy.

Having been in business for over 25 years I have seen many business cards. There are certain business cards that attract my attention. They aren’t necessarily the expensive business cards. I am drawn to them because they are made with quality paper and have an attractive font. They have a professional quality look about them. I always order my business cards online from Vista Print. I am thinking about ordering some for the craft show I will be participating in this coming July. My family is busy making bags and purses to sell. So many customers ask for our phone number and how to contact us that it would be nice to have a business card with that information already printed. I have been using a signature stamp to put a note in each package so we can tell who made each bag. Vista Print has so many things besides business cards.

Vista Print is a favorite of many businesses but they are also becoming well known in the hobby world. We hobbyists need to get our name out and for that, we turn to Vista Print. I am very fond of the magnets that have our logo printed on them. When someone has that, they tend to remember us.

I have to tell you about Corrin’s contest over on her Oh Hey! What’s Up?blog. Corrine will be making her first ever trip to New York City to visit her sister. You know what happens when you go to New York City. You buy souvies. So, to celebrate her trip she is having a little giveaway. If you win the contest, you get a great souvenir. She is going to pick 3 winners on Friday, May 23rd so get over to Corrin’s blog and read how to enter.

My daughter finally became the proud owner of a Wii. She met us in Kentucky this past weekend and while some of us didn’t get to play with the Wii as much as we liked, when we did, it was a blast. The first night we played, I was doing great while bowling. I’m glad I bowl better using a Wii than in real life. I had two spares when the power went out. Boo hoo. A tree had toppled the electric lines near my sister’s house and the houses all along the street were without power. We decided to pack everyone into a few vehicles and go to the Mexican restaurant to get some dinner. When we returned, hubby and I headed over to my niece’s house to spend the night there. No more Wii for me that night.

A few nights later we got my niece’s husband playing Mario Kart. Oh my gosh! We were laughing so hard. Did you know you can connect your Wii to the Internet? You can download games for even more fun. Yowzers! My daughter is going to be happy to hear about that.

The WiiWare games will be easy to download on the Wii Shop Channel. Just add some Wii points and you are ready to go. Another nice feature is that users will be able to see other player’s opinions to help them decide what to play next.

Today’s release includes:

Did you know that May is National Bike Month? I am lucky because I walk out my kitchen door and I am in our store. Many people have to drive long distances to arrive at their workplace. If you live fairly close to where you work, try to ride your bicycle to work. The League of American Bicyclists is promoting Bike-to-Work Week from May 12-16 and Bike-to-Work Day on Friday, May 16.
