…we are featuring this particular ecard today? HINT: webmasters and IT people will have a better chance of guessing the reason.
We will give 3 FREE MONTHS of Doozycards.com membership to the first person who leaves a message with the correct reason we are posting this particular ecard’s image today. Good Luck!
We are very satisfied.
The Rolling Stones are prowling the nation again! And while they are probably using planes and limos and not motorcycles, we are thrilled to get one more chance to see Mick strut and preen and purse live onstage.
We have a small chip off one of the Rolling Stones here at Doozy. Our music composer Mark, actually played with them on tour in the 70’s and 80’s! Mark composed most of the music for our cards for our first 7 years. Prior to working with us, Mark has been a studio and touring musician for many of the world’s greatest rock bands ever. He’s a Brit like Mick and the boys with a sharp, funny English sense of humor. You can hear his voice in our Raj the Elephant ecards.
Back in the ancient days of 2006, we asked Mark if he could do a Rolling Stones inspired birthday tune for us. The result is a very likely tune we set to dogs on motorbikes which you can see here.
Mark composes less for us than he used to. He came down with Parkinson’s disease and it affects what he can do in his studio these days. But we will be making more cards to some of his music this summer, so stay tuned. (In the meantime we urge you to donate to a good charity fighting Parkinson’s today)
If you do go to see the Rolling Stones in concert, leave us a comment here or on our Facebook page and let us know how it was!
You can see more of Mark’s work and all of our musical birthday ecards here.
Our Director of Operations watches what you guys send each other like a hawk watches bunnies in a Wyoming field in April. So he knows what goes on. He came to us today baffled but happy. Apparently one of the very top, most popular Mother’s Day ecard categories we have is…. Funny Mother’s Day eCards!
Now, having a male involved in the Day of Supreme Female Rights and Responsibilities does take a certain amount of learning curve. But he was very good at getting the important aesthetic qualities of making cards to honor women who rear the next generations of our species: certain preferred color stories, sensitivity to human emotion, willful expressions of love and respect, heartfelt appreciation. You know, things guys don’t do much of, HA!
But what he did not know, was how very real, how dirt-and-earth real woman are about life and, especially, about motherhood. See, he’s a bachelor, HE never had to change a SUV load of baby poo, pick up a container ship load of toys, never had to clean food spatter from behind his ears, and never had to navigate the complexities of multiple developing psyches while keeping his own intact. Par for the course for mothers, right?
So he never understood how absolutely essential LAUGHTER and HUMOR are to survivor/warrior child raisers. It lets off the steam which allows a heavier load bearing. It makes the struggle noble again after it gets absurd. It affirms that we are not the only ones going through these exotically onerous tasks and tribulations. And it confirms our vast worth as mothers.
Be assured, Sisters, there are enough of us (and a number of enlightened men) at Doozy to bring YOU, the Mom-in-the-Field some steam-releasing funny Mother’s Day eCards. Have yourself a good laugh and a great Mother’s Day. You, my Dear, have earned them both!
Our entire collection of Mother’s Day eCards can be seen here too.
The Doozy animation fairies have been hard at work making new art for perfect Mother’s Day ecards to send on Sunday. We are charmed to present the first fruit of their labors: Mother’s Day Peony Bouquet.
A sweet Blue-jay has a magic envelope. What is inside will give your special mother a big beautiful bouquet of cheerful peonies.
As always, Doozy Cards makes all it’s own ecards, by hand, using only Hollywood professional writers and actors, and genuine 100% magical animation fairies imported from the forests of Northern Scotland.
