Happy New Year

Just wanted to wish whoever happens to stop by a healthy, happy, and peaceful new year in 2005! I was wondering just now what I should have my new years resolution be, and I think what I will resolve to do is visit friends and family more in the coming year. I get so busy sometimes with the store and the site, I sometimes forget to stop and smell the flowers, which is something I believe we should all do. Here it is, only a few days after Christmas, and already I have been adding a Valentine's Day section with Valentine's Day shirts, intimate apparel, mousepads, valentine keepsake boxes, Valentine greeting cards, and ornaments! I'm so happy to say that the ornaments will be around all year instead of just for the holiday season. I think it's great because ornaments can be used for so much more than just hanging on the tree. I have purchased a couple that I've given as gifts and also display them by hanging them from a hook, shelf peg, etc. I'll continue to add valentine baby bibs, tote bags, and some sweatshirts and hoodies until the Valentine's Day section is complete. If you're curious what we have in that section, just click on the link below. I wish you all have a good year, stay safe.

Tis the Season!

The holiday season seems to be upon us once again. The hassles of crowded stores and not knowing what to get a loved one can be overwhelming at times. We all want to give a gift from the heart, a gift that is something they'll love. This season, personalized gifts are the rage! What says personal better than personalized Tshirts, tote bags, mousepads or a mug? We can personalize any of our items we sell, and we do it for free! Many places will charge you a setup fee to customize a Tshirt or mug, but we'll do our best to design it for you, your way, at no extra cost other than our normal price, and you're never under obligation to order by having us personalize something for you! Just up in our store is a nice selection of aprons! We have aprons for both men and women, so take a peek, and if you want one personalized, let us know! We also want to let you know of a new sale that starts tomorrow. The Holiday Sale runs from December 8 through December 20th, and you can save $10 off a purchase of $50 or more! Just use coupon code CPFESTIVE when placing your order! Happy Holidays and Happy Saving!

How does this work??

Hi, I'm Michigal, one of the owners of Peacock Cards. This is my first attempt at blogs, and I honestly have no clue what I'm doing right now! I guess in time I'll see how this whole blog thing works out, but for now..i'm sooooo lost!
One reading this (if anyone out there is?) might ask, what is Peacock Cards? Well,
it's a free ecard site, http://www.peacockcards.com , and we have a lot of ecards that are flash, animated, and standard, also wallpapers and screensavers and monthly desktop calendars. You know how so many sites now either have a zillion popups when you enter, or, they want you to be a paying member to send the ecards? Well...blecchhhh..we didn't like that! So, we started out own ecard site, with NO popups and NO memberships! It's been a LOT of work, but most of the time fun, if you can call falling asleep at your computer fun! haha
It is tempting at times to put a popup...just one, because we don't get any votes! And, because we don't get any votes, we're wayyyy down on the lists, so nobody finds us. Sort of a vicious cycle I guess you could say. You know how so many sites, when you enter say "Vote for this site"? They are the ones who get the votes, yet, they are also the ones with a zillion popups most times. arrggghhh...so please, if you visit our site, vote vote vote ok please?
On to other stuff...
We have expanded. We still have the ecards, it's still our main priority, bringing ecards, quality ecards, to people who visit our site. We actually read, and respond, to all our emails every day, unless we are on vacation and can't. (not that we get much mail...lol) We hope everyone who visits our site enjoys it, and that you send lots of ecards to family and friends. I know it brightens my day to receive an ecard, because, it let's me know that someone cared enough to bother to pick it out, write it out, and send it to me! ooh yea..back to the "We have expanded" comment. We have! We now sell personalized and every day items like mugs, tile boxes, tote bags, T-shirts, wall clocks, and so so much more. We have a lot of nice stuff you should take a look around! But...my purpose is not to promote selling anything. More, it's just to familiarize you with what Peacock Cards is, and also, to try to figure out what this blogging is all about. I really have no clue once I press publish who if anyone will see this blog, unless we eventually link to it from our main page, which who knows, may or may not happen!
Ok...so..Peacock Cards..free ecards, family friendly site, owned by myself, and the silly one of the partnership, Ride, who by the way is a fantastic photographer! Check out his gallery at http://www.ghostphoto.net. His nature photos are so beautiful, and I honestly don't know how he manages to get some of the animal photos because he doesn't just walk into a zoo to take them, he takes them in their own natural environment. Cool huh?

Til next time..if there is one...signing off..adios!
