Cottage Thanksgiving visit plus more Snarkage

Red leaf floating

Had a wonderful weekend at the cottage. And not just because of the gorgeous fall colour, either...I had a ton of fun hanging out with my sister-in-law's kids. Jeff, sadly, had caught my cold and spent most of the weekend in bed. In addition to working on more Snarkface cards, I went hiking in the forest with the others...

Autumn leaves

We saw a mother moose with her calf as we collected leaves for our Thanksgiving table decorations. Ginny and my niece made butter tarts:

I did wire and bead crafts with a nephew. Here's one of my creations:

Even the wasps were out decorating for the autumn season:

I also did a bunch more designs for Snarkface. Jeff gave me the idea for one of them..."Guess what? I bought you some stocks for Christmas. They were on sale." I figure I'm allowed to make jokes about the recent stock market hammering since we got somewhat knocked about ourselves.



I also figured out how to do card templates, which means a customer can upload their own images into the template. Ooo, I'm going to have some fun with this. Like this cat Christmas card; the cat photo gets uploaded inside.

There's also a new personal holiday greeting card for those of you who want to include a snarky holiday letter IN their Christmas card, and a snarky card for people who have birthdays around Christmas.

Anyway, there are a pile of promotions going on right now (the 14.92% discount ends TODAY; discount code COLUMBUS2008), including 25% when ordering 10 or more cards, free shipping on orders of 65$ or more, a special "get five free cards" offer, 15% off orders of $40 or more, and free shipping when ordering 3 or more sheets of Snarkface postage.

Yes, I said Snarkface postage! Sadly, I can't do custom Canadian postage yet, but here's my holiday season Snarkface stamp:



Anyway, please do check Snarkface often. In addition to addition for holiday season cards, I'll be adding snarky birthday cards, get well cards, Valentine's cards, anniversary cards, and other snarkable topics.
