In search of Bereavement Cards?

Bereavement Thank You Cards

Bereavement Thank You Cards

Are you in search of Bereavement Cards? Sending bereavement sympathy cards is a proper etiquette to do for a friend who might have lost a loved one. In reality, there are not so much bereavement card available in stores. Unique and exclusive designs of these cards are available only at Express-Invitations. They do have thank you bereavement cards as well.

You can order everything online from their site, http://www.express-invitations.com/ should you need such cards. No worries for deliveries since they can do right away the proofs after choosing what card to use and they can even print and ship it the same day as you have approved the proofs. Now, we have more options rather than looking for one from stores.

Free Wedding Invitations…

Invitations Wedding Shower

Invitations Wedding Shower

I should tell my good friend about the Free Wedding Invitations I saw online from website, http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/. She recently got engaged and would like to ask for my help on how could she work around a wedding budget she and her fiance have set. Unique and Exclusive Designs of wedding announcement are available only at Announcements-Shoppe.

They also have nice designs for wedding shower invitations. Another friend attested that they create cute shower invitations according to your preference since you can even add an image or picture to any card you may have chosen. I really think I am making a good recommendation to my friend for this wedding invitation supplier.

Toy Kingdom Sale…

I am glad I went to the Toy Kingdom Sale few weeks back.  I was so dissapointed with the Richwell Sale last weekend.  Know why? 

1.  The warehouse was so hot.  As usual, with lots of people, it was extremely hot.

2.  Most items were the same as last year. 

3.  Items were scattered all over with no proper identification of tags whether it is at 50% off or only at 20%. 

4.  Yes, not all items were at 50%.  Those in nice boxes and newer items are only at 20%. 

5.  The ones at 50% were not even working (for some).  And you wouldn’t want to buy it as a gift for someone else.  (kakahiya!) or I wouldn’t even dare to buy it as well even if it’s just for my kids’ use.  I mean, Santa Claus is not giving a toy in dilapidated boxes!!! ;)

6.  No playhouses or slides for sale.  The only one for sale was sold already as early as opening time at 9am! That’s what I plan to buy lang sana.

7.  2 cashiers only unlike in Toy Kingdom Sale which has about 10 I think. 

Well, so much of my bitterness about Richwell Sale.  I was just happy that I went otherwise to the Toy Kingdom Sale.  The items are whole lot better.  More options and are all in good condition.  Very much proper to give as gifts.  I was able to snag few nice items for the girls from Santa Clause.  I also got few pieces for nieces and nephews. 

Hannah Montana Bracelets with lights and Disney Princess Necklaces with lights too, From Php200, down to Php50.

Happy for my cousin…

I was so happy for my cousin who recently passed the exams on the best culinary institute in the US. She was able to enter the Northwest Culinary Institute and was able to get her culinary scholarships. And since my cousin lives on the West, she was able to get financial aid and even housing from the said organization. It is noteworthy that Northwest Culinary Institute do give the above assitance to their students. My cousin was so excited about this as I was chatting. She said she looks forward to the the great facility of the campus and she can’t wait to unleash her interest and become a culinary expert eventually. She’s really dreaming of make it to the international scene even.  My best of luck for her!

I can’t wait any longer for Thanksgiving Sale ;)  My EQ was again low today :P I ended up buying just two cute shirts for the girls! Yes, just two.  I made sure I controlled the quantity although I could have wanted to get new jackets as well but good thing the ones I like don’t have sizes anymore! :D

And oh, thanks to Jane for letting me order and add to her shopping cart so I was able to save on shipping cost!

Wedding Anniversary Invitations

 

50th Wedding Anniversary Invitations

50th Wedding Anniversary Invitations

Wedding Anniversary Invitations of my clients are out. I’m excited for their Wedding Anniversary Invitations since it’s their Golden Anniversary. Seldom that we do this kind of event but I am always looking forward to one. I have recommended for my clients to get their anniversary invitations from my only trusted supplier.  They have available cards for  50th anniversary invitations or even 25th wedding anniversary invitations.

They were very happy with the output. Now only that we were able to personalized the design by placing a logo and image to the invitation itself, they also love the fact that we got their invitations fast. We just ordered online at http://www.cardspersonalized.com/ and it was as easy as 1-2-3. After approving the proofs, CardsPersonalized printed and shipped the cards right away on the same day. In no time, the cards are already with my clients.

Richwell Sale 2009

It’s this saturday already, it’s the first day.  I want to go on the first hour. I hope I could! I wonder if they do have those little tikes playset with slides and swings. Husband and I are thinking that it could be the best gifts for the kids! Perfect for the lawn…

Hoping they are like 50% off or more ;)  

Wonder how I could test my EQ this year.  Ok, let’s not talk about how much I spent for toys of the girls from this Richwell Sale last year :P  I also don’t want to recall ;)

Nursing Graduation Announcements

Nurse Graduation Party Invitation

Nurse Graduation Party Invitation

We are planning for Nursing Graduation Announcements for a university I was able to tap. Luckily, I was able to win the bid for the graduation party for their College of Nursing. I have talked to the faculties last week and they are very particular about the nursing school graduation announcements. We are ensuring that it should be released very timely according to what we are planning. So now, I am busy sourcing out for options for nurse graduation invitations.

We are also preparing for their party so there is a separate need for their nursing school graduation party invitations. I would probably get all print materials from GraduationCardsShop. They are my best bet if I want to modify the content, design and even the color of the card. The Dean of Nursing wants to even include a logo. I can request that the college’s monogram be included also like the one above. Besides from that, I am confident that I can get the cards quickly since they can print and ship my orders the same day the proof has been approved.  Now, i better show to the faculty-in-charge the site, http://www.graduationcardsshop.com/ so they can also preselect what they like.
