Free Printable Vintage Greeting Cards, Retro Clipart

I confess to a passion for old-fashioned images, especially Edwardian and Art Deco. I am a nostalgiac--like a maniac, only my passion is for vintage things. Retro pictures reminds me of gentler, maybe happier times. I'm sure I've greatly romanticized it. "Back then" reality was little like what I envision. But it's a nice thought. With Memorial Day coming up, why not print retro pictures and make them into greeting cards for lonely old folks? For seniors, patriotic holidays aren't about beer-drinking and game-watching day. Memorial Day is sacred, recalling deceased loved ones. Here are printables to share. Free Printable Vintage Easter Greeting Cards, Retro Nostalgic Clipart

Best Grandparents Day Gifts

With Grandparents Day approaching, the buzz is on the best gifts. This article was written for Mother's Day and lists outside-the-box (and envelope) gift-giving ideas. The concepts apply to Grandparents Day gifts, too. There's a lot of competition for our gift-giving buck. Stores and vendors are ripe with advice about what mom supposedly wants. That's why families should think heart (as in gifts from the) and smart.

Speaking of smart, for Mother's Day shopping (and Grandparents Day, thinking inductively) the best tips I found come from Denver Post $MART columnist Amber Johnson. Johnson surveyed moms about what they wanted most. Essentially, the consensus was to dial down the spending and pay attention to the individual mom's preferences. I'd add skip the three Cs (cards, candy and cut flowers). If you want to send a card, don't buy one. Use free printable greeting cards from my blog. And for shopping, use this advice for grandparent gifts, too. Mother's Day Gifts
