Thank You Hallmark for Listening to this Baby Boomer

Those of you who read my blog regularly may recall when I wrote about my all expenses paid trip to the Hallmark Headquarters in Kansas City. I was one of seven Bloggers chosen by the greeting card company to give feedback on a new line of cards called: Journeys. Four out of the seven of us were baby boomers.

Well I gave them my HONEST opinions about a lot of stuff and I even offered suggestions---as did the other bloggers who attended.

Folks, Hallmark really LISTENED to us and has come up with another contest, at our suggestion. Check it out:

Hallmark is launching the second phase of the consumer card design contest today, which invites people to make their pets the star of the show. They are asking America to send in their funniest, most endearing, cutest, or most creative pet photos, along with a corresponding “birthday” greeting. As with the last contest, these entries will be judged and voted upon, and the winners will be turned into actual greeting cards.

Sixty-seven finalists will have the opportunity to have their cards printed and sold to the public and to winning cash prizes. In addition to being sold in stores, the grand prize winner’s card will be available for sale at hallmark.com for at least a year and may become part of another card collection! That person also will win $1,000 PLUS a trip to Hallmark with their pet for a professional photo shoot and workshop with Hallmark’s creative team.

People can log in at www.hallmark.com/you anytime between now and Feb. 3 to upload their best pet photo and birthday greeting.

Thank you Hallmark for listening to what we baby boomers have to say.
