Help Pfister Revitalize Homes with Rebuilding Together

Pfister and Rebuilding Together are partnering together to help build up communities. The work that rebuilding together does in local communities is amazing. The office I work in participates in the National Rebuilding Together Day where they help a local home owner. The tasks are often common tasks such as painting outside and inside the house, repairing boards around the house, repairs inside the house such as bathroom and kitchen maintenance.

While not updating houses, my Daisy Girl Scouts are working on a community event that I will be posting about soon. We will be creating Birthday Boxes for the local food pantry. We are excited to help some local children celebrate their birthdays with a cake and birthday supplies!

You can help Pfister and Rebuilding Together reach their goal buy “Like” Pfister’s Facebook Page and $1 worth of product will be donated!

CardsDirect

I recently had the chance to review a product from CardsDirect thanks to my involvement with Double Duty Divas!
LinkDetails …
CardsDirect lets you custom order cards at a reasonable price! Their selection includes birth announcements, thank you cards, and even photo cards! You can put a custom message on the cards or leave the inside blank. You have choices in the card size, the card paper, and even the envelope! Each option notes what the price change is for changing your pick in your order price. One limitation is that you need to order at least ten of the same cards. If you order Thank You cards and leave them blank on the inside, this is super easy. At the same time, I know when we order invitations, I always buy at least ten of them to give out to family and friends.

My thoughts …
The ordering process at CardsDirect was super easy. The hardest part was trying to pick what to order to be honest. I started off with birthday invitations for my Little Dude but I didn’t have my act together as to when I wanted to have his party. So I kept thinking about what we needed cards for in the coming days. I remembered that my husband needed to write Thank You notes to a couple of his preschoolers who gave him end of the year presents. All of my Thank You cards are well … girlie. So I went on a mission to find a Thank You that looked manly and could appeal to little kids since that is who at least the first three of these needed to go to! I was so pleased to find that card that I found. The quality of the cards is really great. The envelopes are nice envelops that will hold up to mail banging them all around like they do!

So if you are looking for the ones I ordered, they are the Simply Blue Thank You cards. I didn’t even notice the name when I ordered these but how nice is that name!;) I went with the Jr. Folded size, 130 lb Premium Satin Paper, and the White Recycled envelops.

Now maybe I can get my act together and get my oldest’s 5 year old friend party date and time set. Then I order her birthday invitations and have them ready to send all of her new Kindergarten friends when school starts! (Her birthday is the first day of school so her party will be soon after that!)

NOTE: Thank you to CardsDirect for providing the products for review. I was not compensated for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.
