I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine - she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights.  ~Terri Guillemets

FREE Personalized Card from Hallmark!

Last week I posted just a few things because we had a very busy week, so my apologies for the "last minute" post, but Hallmark is offering a free card for Mother's Day. The card will be personalized, stamped, and shipped all completely FREE!!
I just got mine done now and it said it should arrive May 11th. So, one day late - that's earlier than usual for me, lol!

Go to Hallmark's website to pick out your card. Personalize it and tell them where to mail it to, and use the code "CARD4MOM". You can get another free card with the code"APRILCARD" - but you'll need to purchase them separately to use both codes ("TRIAL" may work as well). If you're already set for mom's day, I'm not sure if you have to pick out a Mother's Day card or if the codes would work on another type of card.

Also, check out my previous post HERE to see how to get another two cards for free (just pay $1 for shipping) that are able to be personalized with your own photos too! (up to 9 photos on one card depending on the style you choose)

I sent one to my mom and she loves it!!

FREE Mother's Day card from Kodak Gallery!

Even though it's a month-ish away, Mother's Day will be here before you know it. I just made one for my mom, shh, don't tell ;) . It was simple and cute!

Click HERE to get started.
There are 18 cute card designs to choose from - pick one, upload the pictures you want and personalize it, and checkout! They mail it and everything!
The card is free, but shipping and handling is .99. A stamp alone is almost half that, let alone buying a card or printing pictures to send with it. Super deal! I was hoping that they'd give an option to wait to send it, but I didn't see one.

Use the code FREECARD. One per account.

You can also use the code ILOVEMOM to get Free shipping off any photo or gift order of $15 or more.

Offers expire 5/16/09.

Thanks FrugalGirls for posting!!

UPDATE:

Ooh, here's another free mother's day card! Now both my mom and MIL will get one for cheap - yay!!

This one's at Scrapblog.....same kind of deal, customize it, use the code MOM2009, and checkout - just pay $1 for shipping. Read more details HERE.

Thanks to Jen at SpendingLess&Living More for posting about it! And to Lori at MomsByHeart!
