This is fun. I get to give away Hallmark cards today! These are not just any Hallmark cards, but cards from their brand new line. One of my favorites says, "If Oprah ever starts an I-haven't-read-the-book-but-let's-eat-drink-and-talk club, we are so there!" Inside the Card: Attainable goals, the secret to happiness.
Here is what Hallmark has to say about their new line of cards:
As you most certainly know, moms experience moments that can only be fully appreciated by other moms. To help encourage moms through the day-to-day challenges of motherhood – and give a few laughs along the way – Hallmark has introduced a new line of humor cards called “Edge of Motherhood.”
A recent national survey commissioned by Hallmark revealed
two-thirds of moms say they handle the imperfect moments of motherhood by
sharing funny stories with other moms about their experiences, and that 8 in 10
moms turn to each other for candid, empathetic, and unapologetic support and
reassurance that “we are all in this together.” Ideally, these new,
edgy humor cards will help moms share a laugh, connect with one another and
celebrate motherhood — and they start at just 99 cents.
For kids, Hallmark’s new collection of encouragement cards for kids are designed to help parents provide an extra boost of confidence for kids as they experience “everyday” moments – whether it’s the first day of school, taking a test or trying out for a team. The cards incorporate humor and heartfelt messages to help adults show support, pride and give a special child a boost of confidence. (Some of the cards include originally recorded sound clips too, which play when a child opens the card!) These cards start at 99 cents, and the encouragement cards with sound retail for $2.99.
Both collections of cards are available at select Hallmark Gold Crown stores and other retailers where Hallmark cards are sold. And some styles of the “Edge of Motherhood” cards are available online at Hallmark.com (full collection is only in stores).
Hallmark wants to give away 10 cards each to two different winners. You'll get to be the first among your friends to give them a giggle and encouragement through these cards!

So... the Hallmark Corporation(where these cards were probably printed) is about a 8 minute drive from my house; but, I'm too lazy to go there... so yes, I would love to have these cards mailed to me instead. Thanks for the great give-a-way.

Hello Tonyia. And consider yourself a member of the lazy-woman's club. I was unable to access your blog from here, I would love to hear about your life. (Chances are we are sisters). If you are so inclined, leave your blog address on my blog. (And Lori, I hope you don't mind, this rather bold (and probably rude)exchange.

No problem, gals. In fact, use this as a discussion board more often for my
sake. It's great entertainment! ~ Lori

Alas (loud, melodramatic sob here), I have no blog. (cue gasp from audience) I know, I know. I AM ashamed. Deeply. But... I have limited internet access.... Yet somewhere in the blogoshpere is a gaping hole with my name on it.

perhaps the reason I HAVE no blog is because I can not spell blogosphere...

I would love these cards!!
