Recycle Those Holiday Cards & Save!

Between home and work, I have a lot of holiday cards to dispose of after the season's over.  Last year I thought some of them had such pretty covers I decided to use them as my Thank You cards.  This year I encourage you to save money and the planet by tearing the covers off the holiday cards you've received and saving them to send out next year.  You can write on the back of them and cut them down to fit in random envelopes cluttering your drawers or draw a vertical line down the middle of the backside and send them postcard style.

This isn't limited to holiday cards!  Hang on to cool, witty, beautiful birthday and any occasion cards as well.  You'll always have a card on hand when you need one.  They work as gift tags, too!

Gift For Your Guy

"Anna!  Come here, come here, come here!  Watch this!"  Kris literally exclaims.

It's are roughly drawn cartoon of a beaver biting a guy's average work pants in half.  Then the beaver bites the guy's Duluth Trading Company's Men's Fire Hose Work Pants and it's teeth fall out.  The tag line..."Duluth Trading Company's Men's Fire Hose Work Pants, stronger than an angry beaver's teeth!"

If you haven't seen this commercial it's because it's on channels geared towards guys like my beloved Kris...such as The Fishing Network (or whatever it's called).  It's funny though so check it out for some giggles.  I know it's one of Kris' favorite You Tube videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E73Jyf2Dzb0&feature=related.

I'm pretty sure your guy will love the idea of having a pair of indestructible cargo pants made out of recycled fire hoses.  I mean, how cool is that!  They even have them for us girls.
