Mother’s Day is really a lot closer than I thought until I looked it up to write this.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, my friends at Hallmark (I really do have friends there. They rock.) have developed recordable greeting cards with music.
You push a button and record up to a 10 second message (it’s re-recordable, so do as many takes as you need), and when the mom opens it, she hears the personal message you or the kids recorded to introduce the song.
They retail for $5.99.
I happen to have a few to give away, but this will have to be a quick contest.
I’m going to make you work a little bit, though.
Rules:
1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite entry here on GenBetween.com by 11:59pm CST TOMORROW May 1, 2008 for a chance to win a package of two recordable greeting cards with music.
2. Four winners will be chosen randomly.
3. One entry per household, please.
**************
Also, don’t forget to check out Hallmark’s cool Adhesive Gift Wrap next time you’re in a store.
It’s like wrapping a gift in a sticky note.
I received some samples, and it’s very cute and colorful, sturdy and easy to use. It sticks to the gift and to itself. reduces the amount of tape needed, and results in nicely wrapped gifts with crisp edges.
It’s $5.00 for a 30 inch by 10 foot roll and it comes in 14 patterns and is available at Hallmark Gold Crown stores.
would love to have a personalized voice message in hallmark card.

Mine was The First Year (http://www.genbetween.com/the-first-year/). But this may not count quite the way you intended, because this post marked the end of one year of sharing first and such, a remarkable journey that you were willing to share, and that made me your fan.
The one about Robin Roberts.
This one of course, because it means I may win something ;)
Ok, ok…
This one is my favorite, because it was very personal and real:

I really like the “devil’s food” one, too. But in the interest of being “original”, I’ll also add this one:

E., Any number of the posts in your “Sandwich Dilemmas” category rank high with me. There is comfort in knowing that there are others who encounter the challenges of caring for children, aging parents, and sometimes adult-children…not that it is a ‘misery loves company’ thing, but more of an encouragement that others make it through tough days, and that many make it through those days and can find humor/joy/peace in the experiences.
Hi Elizabeth. My favorite column of the recent ones was the one from your daughter’s confirmation day and you were realizing that your mom would not be there as you were dusting a framed photograph of her. It was so sad, and a reminder to me to make the most of the time I have left with my parents. I need to call/visit more often. And make sure my kids do the same.
I loved “Or devils food, perhaps?”
Reminded me of Seth when he was 7 or so. He used to “send” balloons “to the angels”…That’s when he was still sweet!
I haven’t been around all that long – but I really like this post:

Mostly because my Nana is 90 as of last January and one of the key things I think has kept her going is that she is an active, feisty, terribly independent soul.
