PictureItPostage Review, Coupon and CASH giveaway

When I had children I became a narcissist. I probably was before then. But with children, the casual Christmas card (maybe I will/maybe I won't) mentality metamorphosized into a unique opportunity to blast the cuteness of my kids to 60+ of my closest friends and family. And to share Christmas joy, of course.

For five years, I've printed or ordered my custom cards. I've printed my own address labels and headed to the post office for sheets of holiday stamps.

But this year, The Motherhood and PictureItPostage whispered into my ear..."Create it and they will come...." So, with their encouragement and sponsorship I headed over to PictureItPostage.com. and I'm now patiently waiting for my personalized stamps to be sent straight to my mailbox.

My picture uploaded to the site in seconds. I had already jazzed up one of my recent vacation pictures, but the site also includes some basic editing software in case you need to make some last minute tweeks. With the touch of a button you get to see what your custom stamp will look like.

Not too shabby, huh? I'll admit, I did have some initial technical issues in getting my order placed, but the e-mail address and phone number for technical questions was easy to find. It could have been a browser issue. I was intially using Internet Explorer 8.0 and had a problem checking out, but I switched over the Firefox and didn't have a single issue. Additionally, there is free "designer" software available for download on the website which allows you to place an order on your computer without having to go online.

If you'd love to jazz up your own holiday cards, you can use the promo code MOTHERHOOD to get $4.00 of any order until January 31, 2011.The best part is, if you place an order using this promo code by December 15, 2010 you'll be entered to win a giveaway for a $500 prize! (See rules below).

And seriously, what grandparent wouldn't love to receive a holiday gift featuring their cherubic grandchildren? Or, surprise your friends or siblings with stamps featuring pics of their kids or pets for a holiday surprise...
