Pear Tree Notelettes--Review and Giveaway of 24 Notelettes

As a Pear Tree Pearista, I'm once again able to introduce you to a new product they carry....The Notelettes!    I think they'd be PERFECT to use as little cards to stick on gifts.    The ones shown on the left can even be personalized with your initial.   Just write happy birthday or whatever on the inside and then attach it to the gift.   

They're small cards that are only business card sized, so perfect to include in lunch boxes or stick in your husband's suitcase when he's traveling.   Wouldn't these little heart notes that say "I LOVE YOU" with the cutout heart be just perfect for that!   Such an easy way to make your family feel special and loved.  

You can also do photo notelettes.    So many choices!   

One lucky reader of Pammie in Jammies is going to win their own choice of the 14 designed Notelettes.    Think of all the fun things you can do with these. 

WIN IT: 

Pear Tree Greeting has offered one of my readers 24 Notelettes...some of which can be personalized with photos or initials, etc.  

Mandatory Entry:

What would these little Notelettes for?    Give me some ideas!   Or tell me which of the 14 styles you would select for yourself?    Give the Pear Tree name and not just one of the ones shown above.  (i.e. go to the site!)

Pear Tree Greetings $20 Gift Code Giveaway.

As a Pearista I get to showcase different products and offer my readers prizes from Pear Tree Greetings each month.    This month they're showcasing their Kids Birthday Party Invitations, although the winner can select any items from the site, not just birthday invitations.    They have such a wide variety of birthday invitations to choose from including photo invitations.

When my son was little he was OBSESSED with pirates.    I had him a pirate birthday party one year complete with eye patches for all the little boys, a pirate pinata, and even a "treasure hunt" for a hidden chest of golden chocolate coins.   Wouldn't this invitation have been perfect to go with our theme?

They even have darling thank you cards and address labels to match.   The address labels look like the skull and crossbones at the botton of the invitation!

 We have always jokingly called my daughter "The Princess" and I love these Pink Princess Birthday Party Invitations.     I think this  could be so cute for a little girls princess party and can be individualized with her age also.   These also have adorable thank you cards and address labels that match that are pink with a crown on them.    These would have been perfect for Her Royal Highness that lives in our house!

WIN IT: 

Pear Tree Greeting has offered one of my readers a $20 e-gift code to use for anything on their site.

Are You Thinking About Christmas Cards Yet? Pear Tree Greetings Can Help

It's never too early to start planning ahead for the holidays, especially if you're wanting to send personalized cards.   As a Pearista, I was sent some Christmas cards samples to preview.   Alas, they weren't personalized for me, which sent me into a drolling fit of envy over the individuals who were lucky enough to have ordered cards from them.    I was surprised over how heavy the paper was--heavy 100 lb Matte Card Stock, which is also 100% post-consumer recycled!    Haven't we all received Christmas cards that were so flimsy they flopped when you tried to pick them up?   I know I have.   But not with the Pear Tree cards.  These are cards you can be proud to send.    They have a wide variety of cards for all your needs. While there checking out all the cards they offer, be sure to note that they have Christmas address labels and letter inserts.  Check them out!

Pear Tree Personalized Thank You Cards Review and Giveaway

As a Pearista I'm able to offer you all kinds of information about exciting products from Pear Tree Greetings and offer giveaways to my readers.    This month we're talking about Thank You Cards.    I must admit I love thank you cards.    It's a lost art to send them it seems.    I hear moms talking about how they don't feel they're necessary anymore, but I disagree.   I think they show good manners and show appreciation for a gift, a thoughtful gesture, or even just an ongoing positive relationship.

I received a packet of several different types to preview.   My favorite of the ones I received is a sample of this Christmas thank you.  But I also love the Snowman in Stripes and Santa's Sleigh Team Christmas thank yous shown on their site.

But they don't stop there.   They also have Baby Shower or general Baby thank you cards.   This is one of my favorites.

They also offer all occasion personalized note cards and  thank you cards.  They're great to keep on hand for all those times you need to thank someone or send a quick pick me up card. 

 I have a son graduating high school next May, so I'm already checking out the graduation thank yous.    I love these.   Do you like them?   Of course they'd have the year 2011 and my son's picture instead of this pretty girl on them.   LOL

But I also love this one!!   Okay, okay......I'll stop showing you all my favorites now and let you go and look for your own.   After all, one of you is going to win your own set of personalized greeting cards.

If you're shopping for thank yous or holiday cards or any sort of note cards, check out the Pear Tree site for coupon codes before you shop to get a discount on your purchase.  Shop the Pear Tree Promo Code page for the latest discounts and promotions on everything from Christmas Cards, Halloween Photo Cards, baby announcements and even a code valid on ANY purchase!

Pen to Paper Challenge...A Letter to My Daughter.

I'm a Pearista and this month Christy from Pear Tree Greetings challenged us to put pen to paper and send cards to people.  She sent us cards with envelopes and then smaller cards and envelopes we could include so our recipient could write back.   It seems to be a lost art form these days.   I remember growing up how excited I'd be to get a letter or a card in the mail.   Now it seems that communication is mostly with email or text messages or messages left on answering machines.   But nothing can replace a heartfelt handwritten  note.  Sometimes it's easier to write what we feel than to say it out loud.  We can reword it and rethink it until we get it just right.   It gives us time to put the words down exactly how we want them.

So I'd been thinking over the last few weeks about who I could send my cards to.   I had a few people in mind and thought I knew who my first one was going to.   But this past week as I helped my eldest child finish shopping and packing to return to college, I changed my mind and the choice became clear.   I would put pen to paper and write my daughter a note.

I know all parents love their children unconditionally, or at least I hope so, and I know we're all guilty of bragging a bit too much on occasion, but my daughter really is a wonderful child.   She's always been "exuberant" as our pediatrician called it, and full of energy and curiosity.  She had a teacher in the third grade who once told me if it wasn't for my daughter some days she would wonder why she was teaching.   The teacher told me she'd look around the room and all the kids would be doodling or leaning on their elbows half asleep, but there would be my daughter waving her hand excitedly because she knew the answer or paying rapt attention to every word the teacher said.  My daughter approached all of life like that.   She always wanted to learn, not only in school, but to do karate and dance, or play the piano and cello, or to play softball and basketball and soccer.  She couldn't suck enough out of life or fast enough.

She also never got into trouble or caused me any worry.   I've had people tell me they need an affidavit proving she was so good, or saying it must be nice to live in the land of unicorns and constant rainbows.  Or others imply I must have my head in the sand because she was probably being a wild teen and I was just too clueless to know.   I would just smile at them and know they were wrong.   She had a large group of friends who were all just like her.   Scrubbed face kids with beaming smiles and impeccable manners.   Kids who were the leaders and most outstanding students in a very large high school.  I never worried when she went out with them that they'd be drinking or doing drugs.   They just weren't those kids.

Now does that mean she never annoyed me?   Of course not!  She was a teen girl and every person who has had one knows the fear those two words can strike in the heart of a parent.   There were tears, and shrieking and slamming doors on occasion.   But those pale in comparison to a child who made good grades, played the cello beautifully and made her parents proud.

She has continued being a wonderful child in college.   She's in honors biochemistry, been selected to attend leadership conferences and continues in the orchestra in college.  She did an internship this past summer in Washington DC and attended meetings at the State Dept, Dept of Agriculture and Dept of Energy.   She referred to it as her job, but I referred to it as her "adventure".     She saw all the monuments and museums, attended concerts at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, and watched the fireworks over the Potomac.   Once again she managed to squeeze every bit out of life in those 8 weeks.

So as she returns to college, I'm putting my pen to paper to write her a note for her first week of school.   I want to thank her for the joy she brought me watching her grow from an exuberant child to an exuberant young adult.   I want to thank her for the pride I felt watching her fervently bow her cello with utter love and devotion to the instrument these past 10 years.   I want to thank her for being such an easy child to raise and one that any parent would be proud to have.    I want to wish her luck as she returns to  college and continues on the path to becoming a successful and independent woman.  And of course I want to tell her that I love her.  That is what my pen says as I put it to paper.

Do you have individuals who have brightened your life?   Or people who have offered a hand when you were at a low point?  Or perhaps a long lost friend who used to make you laugh so hard?   I challenge you to put pen to paper and let them know how they've enriched your life.   I challenge you to reconnect with them.

Pear Tree Personalized Note Cards Giveaway

Pear Tree Address Labels Giveaway----5 Winners!--CLOSED

 

My name is Pammie in Jammies,  and I'm a stationery addict.   No joke!   My dream used to be to open up my own paper products store.   Any time I see stationery of any sort I go into a major craving mode.  Any time I see note cards or photo cards or address labels or gift tags or even wrapping paper.........I start getting glassy eyed.

So imagine how excited I was to get to work with Pear Tree an online store filled with all those good things!   They have such an amazing array of products to choose from. 

Pear Tree Greetings is a fun, fresh and affordable personalized stationery company that offers birth announcements, birthday and other invitations, personalized stationery and note cards and more! Click on the links to see some examples.   Go ahead.....I promise to pull you back if you get sucked into the wonder of all the products to choose from.  They have everything from photo products to whimsical items and all the way to professional ones too.


And guess what?!?   I'm lucky and get to make five of my fellow stationery addict readers happy by giving you a set of personalized address labels.   You can get ones that say baby shower, or photo ones, or seasonal ones or ones for weddings.   Look at how cute they are!        

 I don't know about you, but I think I HAVE to have these cherry blossom labels.   Or how about the lion ones for birthday party invitations and thank yous.   Or the cute photo ones of the family for Christmas cards.

 But address labels have other uses than just.....well being address labels.   What else could you do with an address label? Think outside the box, what are other ways to use these fabulously stylish stickers? Add your comment for an additional chance to win one set of address labels (up to 24 labels!) from Pear Tree Greetings!
