WFMW- Online Shopping Edition



Today Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer is hosting a little different twist for her weekly Works For Me Wednesday bloggy tricks and tips carnival. Instead of posting our favorite tip to share, she’s asked us to post our favorite site for online shopping…

Now I love to shop online and avoid going to the mall at all costs- so I usually hit all the usual places… Amazon and Oriental Trading Company are staple websites- but aren’t exactly secret finds.

Recently, however, I ordered something cool from CocoBlu Studios. I discovered them through Shannon’s Bloggy Giveaways site. I didn’t win the drawing, but I loved the products so much that I ordered myself a set of ‘blog cards’. Since my kids are older- the mommy cards don’t really work for me, but I loved the idea of having a card with my info on it to give out (instead of just jotting down my email on whatever loose piece of paper I could find in the depths of my purse!) So Sarah at CocoBlu took one of the mommy card templates and created these cards for me…

This is the front-


The back has my full name and email address with the words "See what we've been up to" at the top in yellow (to match the caution sign in the photo).

Not only are the cards beautiful (and they come packaged in the cutest little tins!), but Sarah was amazing to work with. I emailed her my request and she had several samples for me to choose from the very next day. She looked at my blog and pulled colors from it so the cards even match! Once I place my order, it was less than a week before they arrived at my doorstep.

I love my new cards- CocoBlu Studios definitely works for me! Head on over to Shannon's to discover more great online shopping sites!

I love the idea of having blog cards - I'm just now getting brave enough to admit to my real-life friends that I have a blog. So, I'll definitely have to check out cocoblu....
