Christmas Cards

For instance I sent all my cards this year by uploading my contacts to the system and picking which cards I wanted to send. Wrote a personal note in the card (in my own handwriting and signature) and the company prints, stuffs, stamps and mails them. The personal handwriting font was the clincher for me. I also can take pictures and upload them to create my own custom card which works pretty well.
Best part is they cost me 62 cents + postage. Hard to beat.

I heard about it from a guy I met a few months ago. You can actually try one or two cards out by going to sendoutcards.com/sendyourselfacard

Probably too late for Christmas, but I plan on sending cards year round now that it's this easy. I can have my assistant do it in my handwriting too. Anyway, hope that helps.

I settled on,


"Thank you for helping make 2007 a good year
-Bill Archibald"


and put some cards in them.
