***CONGRATULATIONS, Karen!!!***

I would choose Brocade.
Mabel's Labels is a mom-friendly company that produces all manner of products to keep your household and all its inhabitants organized. I've written before about my love of their wondrous Tag Mates that identify your kid's clothing with peel and stick ease. But did you know they also make stationery products? The return address labels are a no-brainer, of course, being similarly sticky-backed and personalized with your choice of icon, much like the signature Mabel's Labels' classic Sticky Labels and Skinny-Minis (my personal favorites). But the Write On! Stationery Kit is a terrific way to encourage your budding letter writer to get those thank yous posted and keep in touch with summer camp friends. And their new Mama Cards… well, those are for you to keep in touch with friends and associates.
Mabel's Labels has introduced Mama Cards to keep you in circulation. Whether you're trying to get together for playdates or for some social networking, mommy blogger style, Mama Cards lets you put your digits in someone else's pocket without having to fumble for a pen and paper. Plus they come in five adorable styles. I chose the jade-ite brocade pattern. It's an easy way to let people know you want to keep in touch. (Or you can drop them in the bowl for the free lunch contests at your favorite restaurants. I won't tell!)
Mama Cards would be particularly useful as Mama Blogger Cards at one of the upcoming conferences, like BlogHer '09. In fact, Mabel's Labels is actually hosting a BlogHer Contest, in which one lucky blogger will be sent to Chicago as Mabel's Labels' chief correspondent with all expenses paid. See? Mabel's Labels does truly love you! And, hopefully, me!!!
I have been blogging for about two years now and haven't made it to any of the conferences yet. This is my year, I can feel it! Now that Jasper is weaned and Roo is getting more independent, I think that BlogHer would be a fantastic opportunity to meet many of the fabulous women I have gotten to know via the blogosphere and impress them with my vast arsenal of talents, which include impeccable table manners and low alcohol tolerance. It's been really great having a virtual support system and being able to learn from other parents who have been through the same stuff, especially since it's been rough making and holding onto friends here in Wichita, where we tend to stick out like sore thumbs. It's great sharing obsessions with which host of Blues Clues is cuter and what kids gear is truly worthy of purchase… (like Mabel's Labels, for example!) You know, the important stuff about being a mom. It's also been a blast getting to know the business people who make things for kids and families and being able to try new products out on a regular basis. Best of all is the opportunity to pass cool stuff on to my readers via frequent giveaways. I was the promotions director at my college radio station and loved being able to give away records and promo items but it is even more fun to be able to give baby and kid things away, especially to new and expectant parents.
Speaking of which…

i like the summer day design.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I thought I already entered this, but I see that i hadn't. Probably one of those many times when I get distracted by something....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love the Brocade design, and would probably do a combo Mama/Blogger card if I can. I'd use these for playdates and getting the word out about my blog.
I've got your button
ReplyDeleteI would pick Field and use them for blogger cards, but give them to moms. So...hmmm....
ReplyDeleteThese are cool! Go Mabel!
I'd use my blogger cards for reading everyday!

I like the Artsy Mama mama cards and would use them to introduce myself to neighbors and fellow volunteers in the groups I work for.
ReplyDeleteI would get the Posey cards and pass them out to people I meet who want to get in touch. A lot of people want to talk to me since I'm a R.N.; have identical twin boys; and an autistic stepdaughter.

My favorite style is Field. I have reached for a business card about 20 times since I quit my job to become a SAHM. I use these anytime I need to give someone contact info. These would be so helpful. They would also come in handy for my proofreading business. shanaleigh70 at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI would use the POSEY cards for BlogHer this year. I ordered 100 cards last year and ran out by the first night!

I love the Posey designs and I would give them to my son's friends parents. It would be especially useful for me because I have a different last name than my son! thanks, justicecw@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteI like the Summer Days design in the Momma cards. I would love to be able to hand these out instead of always having to scrabble through my purse for a pen and a scrap of paper :-)
ReplyDeletevmlay@artsci.wustl.edu
I like the Artsy Mama cards.
ReplyDeleteI like the Summer Days cards best!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't made it to any of the conferences, either. Sigh! One day I hope!

ReplyDeleteI love the artsy mama ones because I love the bold colors they use. I see so many bloggers saying they are heading to the convention I hope you go :) I am not that high up yet but if I was I am only one state away lol
ReplyDeleteI would choose the Summer Day ones, because I like the design on them. I would hand them out to other Mommy's I know so they would have my contact info in a neat package.
ReplyDeleteI heart the POSEY cards :)
ReplyDeleteLove the field pattern, and I'd write very belated thankyous on 'em!
ReplyDeletejomamajoanna (at) gmail (dot) com
I would choose blogger cards in "Brocade" style. I would hand them out to people if we start a conversation that leads to my blog!

I would love to win a set of the Mama Cards in field. My son started Kindergarten this year and I have such a hard time exchanging information with other parents for play dates, PTO, etc. These would be so handy!
ReplyDeletejlilleysprint@earthlink.net
I like the Summer Days. I would use the Mommy Cards to connect with other moms.
ReplyDeleteThese would be so useful when I'm out with my 2-year-old and 8-week old daughters so that I wouldn't have to dig around for a pen and paper - not to mention that I don't usually have a free hand anyway! My favorite is the Posey design.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I would pick the posey mama cards. They would be great for passing out at preschool functions, or we have classes we go to at ballet and the library. It would be nice to connect with other parents and their kids outside of these classes. Thanks!
