The Daily Peeve / Rant

[SteveinMN]

have you tried the "just wink" site?

I'll have to check that out; thanks! I've created photocards as donations for charitable events and I'm guessing that will be a staple product if I ever go 'fine art'. But I never really thought of doing my own cards. They wouldn't have to be photo cards, either (though for a photographer it makes sense). Even with a service, it's got to be cheaper than buying cards at $3+ apiece -- and not a lot more time invested once you stop at the "good" card store and search through and pay for several cards.

We did use Vistaprint a few years ago for a calendar DW did (or somesuch). They did a nice job. But (at least for us) their presence in our lives became like gum on the bottom of a shoe -- near-daily emails and special offers and mailings... We finally told them we were never going to invite that firehose into our lives again.

of course, if one has small children in the house you can ask them to make one for you, but we don't.

We're working on that one. I figure we've got a couple of years until our grandchild has even rudimentary motor skills for card-decorating, though.
