New Stationery! Take a look!

Whew! That was one hectic holiday season! I think most of the holiday orders have been placed, designed, printed and received at this point! If not, let's hope you are planning on a New Year greeting- cause you won't be getting it before Christmas!

I have been as busy as a bee and am finally getting back to the business of designing. On that note, feel free to check out our new stationery. Right now we only have 2 design sets available, but more are being added daily. These make a great gift- just ask Brittany in Lafayette, LA, who ordered "Love Letter 4x6" and "Folded Love Letter" for her mother-in-law (who was also the inspiration for the design).

My own father, the Mayor of Mandeville, was the inspiration for the aptly named "MAYOR" set. He will be getting these lovely cards for Christmas- shhhh... it's a secret! He is a man with a great sense of humor, so I know he will love the ones that say EL CHAMPION- his self-proclaimed title. Of course, if you order these beauties, feel free to replace with your own name, nickname or position- any future presidents out there?

Happy Holidays to you all! Get some rest, eat some great food, spend time with your family & thank God for his many blessings. And speaking of thanks- I want to personally thank everyone who ordered holiday cards from us this year. It has been such a joy to be a part of your holiday season. In a small way, I feel like I know you- even though most of us will never meet face to face.

Talk to you soon,

Sarah

Check out COMING SOON!

We will be having some exciting new items after the busy holiday season passes us by. Be sure to stop by the new COMING SOON section of our website to read all about it!

In the meantime, take a look at some of the newest holiday greetings that will soon be hitting mailboxes all over America!

Running Late? How about a New Year's Card?

If, like me, you keep putting off making a decision on cards- you may be tempted to call the whole thing off. Have no fear- enter the New Year's Card to he rescue. It gives you a week or two more to get your- ahem- stuff together & get that seasonal card in the mail.

Any of our holiday greetings can be changed from "merry christmas" to "happy new year" or any other saying you'd like. On that note, here are a few of the more recent holiday cards we created for the more organized of our fellow card senders.





Keep checking back! With your permission, you may see your face!

Thanks,

SYSTEM QUIRKS & E-MAIL PROOFS

Hello again!

How frustrating is it when you try to place an order, get all the way through the order form & get an error message- then, you fix the error and- oops! another error message! Ahhhhhhhhh!

It recently came to my attention that some of you were having that exact experience. For the inconvenience and aggravation, I am extremely sorry! I just want you to know we have fixed the problem and you should be able to proceed with you order with few problems!

Now a note about e-mail... sometimes my proofs & correspondence end up heading straight to your "junk" or "spam" box and you mistakenly think I have forgotten about you! I am sorry about this as well. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to change this- it is a setting in your e-mail system... So, if you have not heard from me, please check your junk box. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by my turnaround time.

Thanks again for your interest in CocoBlu! Talk to you soon!

HOLIDAY DISCOUNT EXTENDED!

Hello! I have great news! We are extending the holiday discount for 1 week. You can now order holiday greetings until November 28. To ensure that you receive your product in time for Christmas, we'll need all orders to be ON or BEFORE that date.

I will be out of the office next week- but I will be bringing my laptop with me. Any orders placed from November 8 to November 14 will be sent directly to you from the printer. I don't like to do this because I like to personally inspect and package your orders before I send them out- but I think getting the order to you in a timely fashion takes precedence in this case.

I look forward to working for you! Get those orders in ASAP!

Thanks,
Sarah

Refer a Friend

November 3, 2007 I am excited to announce our new REFER A FRIEND program! If you send someone our way and they place an order, you'll get 30% off of your next order! Make sure your friend writes your name in the "how did you hear about us" line. We'll keep your name on record apply your 30%*off on your next purchase! *Not applicable with other promotions. Redeem the 30% off or current promotion, whichever is greater value. Thanks!

November 2, 2007

Just 20 days left to get 20% off of your holiday greetings! Remember- you have to order by November 22 for the promotion to apply! I love the holidays! Don't you? Have you started thinking about your home decor? I think I am going to match my own Christmas card to my chosen color scheme this year- white, tan, gray and a watery shade of aqua. Don't forget that you can change the colors in any of my designs at no extra cost!

Here are a few more new holiday designs. I am currently working on a 4 x 5.5 accordian folded greeting card. It is so lovely I think it might be the one this year (after I change the colors, of course)... Here are a few more new designs.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween! But more importantly, Season's Greetings! I've been busy designing more holiday greeting cards each day- so keep looking! The newest additions are exciting- a 5x5 bifold created for the patriotic families in this country! My husband will be heading to Iraq in a few months, so I was really thinking about him & all of the other soldiers when I came up with this design. Another new design is the "annual update". Let people know what you've been up to this year with a newsletter style greeting card. Its 5x7 format makes it more affordable than a bifold or trifold.

Don't forget to utilize the BACK SIDE!!! One of the great benefits of my designs is a wide open area for even more photos, updates, well wishes on the reverse side of your greeting card. For a $20 fee, you can double your creative real-estate!

October 25, 2007

Hello again! Thought I'd share a few of the most recent cards we've created. When you send your photos via e-mail, please let us know if you will allow us to feature your card on our site.

Congrats to Mimi & Eric who had a beautiful baby boy on September 21! Welcome to the world Baby Cade!

Businesses be on the lookout! We will soon be adding a corporate section to our website for those fun-loving, employee-retaining companies like The Lemoine Company. They ordered a modified version of ROMAN HOLIDAY & PINSTRIPE for their company holiday party!

Let's not forget Halloween! Lori is throwing quite the Halloween bash & she selected a modified version of the MONSTER'S BALL, to get the party started!

Be on the lookout for your latest & greatest invitation, birth announcement or holiday greeting!

Talk to you soon,

Sarah

Welcome! Hello, everyone! Thanks for visiting our new blog! The holidays are just around the corner, so I am sure most of you have been thinking about ordering your holiday greeting cards. There is still time, but you'll need to order before November 22 to get the 10% off. I know things get hectic as the season approaches, so get it done & have one less thing to worry about!

Tips for ordering: I have received several online order submissions with the e-mail and name section left blank. Unfortunately, the only way to send your proofs are via e-mail. Without your contact information, we can't get in touch with you! Please fill in the order forms completely so we can give you the best service possible.

Don't see exactly what you want on the site? There are so many options, so please be sure to peruse all of our categories before you give up. You may find the perfect design for your holiday greeting card in the birth announcement section! And there is no extra charge for changing text, fonts or colors. Your options are only limited by your imagination!

Thanks again for shopping with us! I'll post again soon. In the meantime, best wishes to you and your family!

Sincerely,
Sarah
