We used to send each other e-cards on special occasions or just to send a little note on a regular day. I clearly remember that we used a website called BlueMountain. Recently, BlueMountain contacted me about sharing something on the blog and it brought back so many memories! I went into my email that I used when I was a teenager and there were still several BlueMountain emails that I had saved from 1999 (when we were 17), the same year that this photo was taken:
(In the photo I'm wearing Ken's coat and mitts because it was FREEZING outside!
.. such a gentleman ;)
So now that you've taken a little trip down memory lane with me, let's get back to the present. Ken and I are an old married couple now ;) and just celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. We've got two kids (a 6 year old and an 8 year old) and I've just rediscovered BlueMountain! :)
They've created some cute free printable letters to Santa!
They've also got a ton of cute or funny or religious holiday cards and cards for every other occasion you can think of :) Memberships allow you unlimited access to their e-cards for 1 month, 1 year, or 2 years. They also have a reminder service where they'll email you to remind you about people's birthdays or other occasions (love this! It goes right along with what I did last year with "snail mail" cards!)
BlueMountain wants to give a year membership away to 3 of you! The grand prize winner of the giveaway will win a membership AND a $250 VISA Gift Card! Two other winners will also receive a year membership. To enter, just fill out the form below! (Giveaway is open to the USA & Canada)
