Happy Fourth of July

It’s time to eat white frosted cakes with blueberry and strawberry flags, hamburgers, hot dogs and buttery corn on the cob.  Have you seen our new Talking Corn on the Cobb card?  It’s a perfectly corny and cute way to say hello to friends. You guys are loving the Latasha July 4th card  and she thanks you.  America the Beautiful, our staff favorite, is also flying off the servers. After you send ecards to everyone spreading more holiday cheer than all the fireworks, we hope you indulge yourself with a lot of holiday fun.
My kids are already furiously making flags out of long straws and flag napkins. They love them but we did have a little excitement when all of the napkins blew away and Oliver, my four year old, was running after them screaming.  He loves to scream.  He’s been doing it since the day he was born.
I personally can’ t wait to leap around with sparklers in my hands doing my Mitzi Gaynor imitation. The kids love it and it does help burn off all the “yunk food” as my little Cooper calls it. We hope you have a blast with family and friends, enjoy the fireworks and then rest and relax all day Saturday and Sunday.  Happy Birthday America!

Hello, this is Bennett, one of the Doozy doozies,

ABBA fans Rejoice! Our next big birthday ecard will be an ABBA spoof with newly composed music by our Doozy song writer, Mark, and featuring kitties in Swedish spandex costumes.

We want to let you know to check out our brand new 3D ecard, “Elvis Birthday”. In the fine tradition of singing barnyard animals, Elvis is a chicken, fully rendered in 3 dimensional animation by our newest animator, Kristopher. Elvis is very fun and perfect for saying “Happy Birthday”. Look for more 3D cards coming throughout the year.

Also, we have improved our photo insertion e cards and they are ready to go. You can now make anyone of whom you have a photo into the  President disco dancing in the Oval Office, or you can make a friend or family member into a little cowboy shooting X’s and O’s.

Notes from Leap Day, 2008

Hi again, Chandler here writing on Leap Day, Feb. 29, 2008.

Some of our customers are still buried in snow. Bennett, who writes many of our scripts and is the Gecko’s voice, reports his Mom is expecting to be snowed in New England this weekend by another blizzard. March will come in like a lion. But the funny thing is other customers are feeling a Spring awakening already. My kids here in California just got the season’s first grass stains on their pants yesterday playing in the yard. If any of you reading this have a good inexpensive remedy for removing grass stains, please write in and let me know it!

My youngest, Cooper, has been speaking in sentences since the New Year began (thanks to those of you who asked after him), and my second, Ollie, tells me he will grow up to be the doctor for the whole city. He has the kind of personality that makes me believe he probably will. Otis, my oldest,  seems inclined toward Rock Star. What are your kids interested in? Write in and let us know. HAPPY LEAP DAY!

How do they do it? What’s their secret?

Every year, the Cooke-Chandler clan gathers for the annual Christmas family photo. Many of our freinds and family ask about the process of this photo. So, the following is a behind the scene look at the Organizational genus of the Cooke-Chandler Matriarch team leadership. In this scene, displaying calm in the center of the storm, Chandler, entering from the right and Brenda, my wife, seated center, discuss what needs to happen next. Allen Cooke, Chandler’s brother, standing top left, studies last year’s photo and discusses with Pat Chandler, Chandler’s husband, to his left, how it should really unfold. Me, Bob Cooke, Chandler’s dad, seated center, seem to be talking to an empty space in the chair. Please notice that no one seems to be paying attention to the Patriarch side of the Cooke-Chandler leadership. Humm, wonder why?
