Greeting Card Campaign: 11-2 National Deviled Eggs Day

Click here to download card.

It's also "All Soul's Day, but I like deviled eggs a lot so, for me, November 2 will always be National Deviled Eggs Day. If you've been paying attention, there is another deviled egg day on July 30.  This is National Deviled Eggs Day, so it celebrates more than one deviled egg at a time and it's a "National" day. Therefore, as your zombie overlord, I command you to go out and make and consume deviled eggs on this very special day. Make more than you consume, though. I really really like deviled eggs.

Also, download a free Deviled Eggs Day card and send it to your sweetie. Here is a good Deviled Eggs recipe

Just click on the caption below the picture of a delicious plate of deviled eggs. The link will take you to a pdf file in Google Docs. Remember, instead of printing from Google Docs, click on "File" in the upper left corner, then select "Download" and copy the file to your own computer.  Open it with Adobe PDF Reader or whatever PDF reader you use and print the card from there. For some reason Google Docs doesn't handle fonts well, even though they are supposed to be embedded in the PDF document itself.

This is a top fold card, so when it prints, be sure to tell your printer it's in "portrait" format so you get the whole file. Flip it on the short side to print double-sided. This also flips the inside upside down from the outside when you print in portrait mode, so that, when you fold it over, the inside comes out right side up.  If you're confused, I encourage you to give it a try with a practice sheet.
 

Greeting Card Campaign: 10-31 Halloween

Click here to download Halloween Card

October 31st is, of course, Halloween or Hallowe'en, short for All Hallow's Evening.  This yearly celebration started out as a Christian feast day to remember the dead - especially saints, martyrs and faithful dead believers. The Roman Catholic Church Christianized the old Gaelic pagan festival Samhain, although some academics argue that Halloween originated independently of the pagan Samhain and has solely Christian roots. Whatever the case, the association of Halloween with tricks, treats, pranks, costumes, monsters and general scariness seems to hark back more to the pagan festival which was once celebrated by building fires in the dark and wearing frightening masks in order to frighten away the ghosts of any unsettled dead that might be walking around the evening before All Saints Day.

Nowadays Halloween seems to be more about dressing up and eating candy for the kids and dressing up slutty for adults going to parties than it is about any religious observance. Most churches these days like to offer an alternative "harvest" party for their young people to de-emphasize the "evil" associations that go with Halloween.  Send your sweetheart a Happy Halloween Card to let her know you're willing to scare off any ghosts for her and that she's your "greatest" pumpkin.

Just click on the caption below the picture of the pumpkin.  The link will take you to a pdf file in Google Docs.  Download the file. Don't try to print the file from within Google Docs. I use a lot of fonts and Google Docs doesn't seem to like them very much.  Instead, click on "File" in the upper left corner, then select "download" and copy the file to your own computer. Open it with Adobe PDF Reader or whatever PDF reader you prefer.  Print the card from there and it should be fine.

This is a side fold card, so when you print it, be sure to select "landscape" and if you have two-sided printing, choose "flip on the short side" so that the inside of the card is the same way up as the outside.

Don't forget to write something sweet inside for your best girl - something more than just your name. And heaven help you, don't forget to sign it.

Celebrate that first hand-holding experience with this sweet homemade card.

It's Hand-Holding Day.  Remember the first time you held her hand. It was like electricity passed between you. As time goes on, it became a more comfortable thing until soon you were holding hands without thinking about it as though you were each a natural extension of the other.

The guy who invented Hand-Holding Day has never been identified. He was probably a terribly shy person who needed a holiday to give him an excuse to make his move. Tell her life is more bearable when she's holding your hand with this hand-holding day greeting card.  Just click on the caption below the picture of the hands and it will take you to a pdf file in Google Docs. Remember, instead of printing from Google Docs, click on "File" in the upper left corner, then select "Download" and copy the file to your own computer.  Open it with Adobe PDF Reader or whatever PDF reader you use and print the card from there. For some reason Google Docs doesn't handle fonts well, even though they are supposed to be embedded in the PDF document itself.

This is a top fold card, so when it prints be sure to tell your printer it's in "portrait" format so you get the whole file. Flip it on the long side to print double-sided. This will save you a lot of time.  Have fun and enjoy making a move on your sweetie while you're slipping this romantic card into her hand.
