My life span faces several challenges. I love potato chips and I have a special place in my heart for Krispy Kreme Caramel Kreme Crunch Doughnuts (OMG!). So I need any life extenders I can find. Now there is great hope for me and all other other lovers of evil foods. According to studies, keeping in touch with friends does increase your life span. An Australian research study pointed out that the benefits of having friends does affect the health and emotional well being of people so much so that life expectancy can be significantly increased.
The Greeting Card Association, says life is too short to wait for someone else to reach out to you. They say sending a “thinking of you” or a “just because ” card can change someone’s day for the better. I agree. I agree. I feel loved when I receive ecards.
I like to personalize what the talking flower says in Talking Sunny Day e card and send it to my eleven year old. I make the flower say “pick up your filthy socks, you little monster!” Send your friend our Dairy Farm Birthday ecard on their birthday and give them an extra decade. I hope we can all extend our lifespan with Ecards. My question is, how many ecards does it take to cancel out the saturated fats?

I have enjoyed turning my husband white with shock using several April Fools Pranks: “I’m Pregnant” (my favorite), ”There’s a plane in the front yard!”(deliver the stuttering & red faced), or “there’s a rattle snake in the bathtub!” (deliver red faced while screaming and jumping frantically ). Good times. Seldom can I remember having this much fun. I don’t forget the kids either. These are my favorites: open their drawer for their morning clothes and scream “RATS!” and run away; or run inside the house in total wide-eyed shock yelling “Oh my God (beat) there’s a giant UFO outside, pack your bags (run off to open drawers throwing everything in a bag); or my all time favorite, “kids we are moving to Syberia(beat, muster tear) it’s only temporary…I hope” (break down sobbing).
Looking around for this year’s inspiration I found a fun site of top 100 hoaxes: Museum of Hoaxes.
Since life is short, we must create giggles and laughs for those we cherish. Otherwise life would be dull. For this purpose we made Cupcake Surprise, which is turning out to be a customer favorite. It still makes Bennett and I laugh when we watch it. We also made the Government Bailout Game. It’s addicting and just as difficult in cyber space as it is in reality. We are thinking of you all here at Doozycards and we wish you a very happy and fulfilling April Fools Day!

I told Bennett we have to update the blog today or we’ll end up as road kill on the information highway. However, he can’t stop dancing to “You Spin Me Right Round” by Dead or Alive. At least he’s happy. This country has seen tough times and sharing a laugh with a friend seems to be so much more profound and pleasurable than it was a year ago. It’s true we dance a lot to eighties videos in our sunporch-turned-office. I find it’s cheaper and more enjoyable than marital therapy. We realize connecting with loved ones and friends in a heartfelt way is one of life’s largest pleasures and should be on the top of everyone’s to do list.
To help you all accomplish this, our production schedule is full, full, full for Spring. Mukti, our photo card genius who spent many years at the ashram featured in “Eat Pray Love”, is currently working on a sympathy ecard and a new Get Well ecard. Bennett and I are working on new serious toned friendship birthday e cards. We are adding “Across the Miles” themed cards to all of our major holidays with Easter coming up next.
We love that you are supporting and sending blessings and good wishes to so many of your friends with our cards. You inspire us to be more supportive of those we love. My four year old sent me his first Doozycard and I was touched. It was President Obama saying “Cooper (his three year old brother) is poo poo poo”. After watching me open it, he collapsed on the floor, a pile of hysterical laughter. We were connecting.
In the works we have more “racy” birthday cards and a new 3D musical birthday ecard along the lines of our very popular singing Elvis chicken. My creative friend from high school, Mike, is animating this ecard. Mike and I went to Culver Military Academy in Indiana (that’s a whole other blog!). He does a lot of film animation for big films such as “I am Legend” and “Die Hard”. Go Mike!
Also in production: Games, April Fools prank ecards and a basket full of funny and serious Easter cards.
We thank you all for your loving and supportive emails. We actually do consider every single card request. Let us know your favorite cards and what you like to send. In the meantime, we hope you find your favorite old music videos on You Tube and Dance Dance Dance the Night Away.a>
