And I like to receive cards too, I have saved all the cards I have received, birthdays and Christmas cards from the last 27 years, since my son was born. A nice collection by now :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-88481438345217417492013-02-28T23:52:44.057+00:002013-02-28T23:52:44.057+00:00Glad these turned out, the quality of the paper ma...Glad these turned out, the quality of the paper makes such a difference in a card. I love the old fashioned feel of textured heavy paper when I look for cards.

The postage from America is quite hefty though, so for larger prints it might be better for people here in Europe to just buy the prints and get it framed locally. Smaller prints however have quite reasonable postage.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-54937949624420257202013-02-27T23:48:33.694+00:002013-02-27T23:48:33.694+00:00Thank you Beth, I haven't tried their prints a...Thank you Beth, I haven't tried their prints and canvas and all the other stuff yet, but if they are anything like the greeting cards I will be happy :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-20475824033986435552013-02-27T23:47:34.728+00:002013-02-27T23:47:34.728+00:00Thank you Rosemary, yes I think it's wise to m...Thank you Rosemary, yes I think it's wise to make an order myself before recommending it to other people, so that's what I have done!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-28018421680834570242013-02-27T23:28:56.835+00:002013-02-27T23:28:56.835+00:00Good luck in your new business.

I think I am following too many blogs! Of course you can link to my post, you don’t have to ask for permission to do that :-)<br /><br />As for the shipping, I was a bit disappointed with that, I have made several books with Blurb.com and they are printed in the States too, they take 5 working days to reach me despite weighing more than 1 kg each. But Blurb ships with FedEx who delivers straight to me, not via Royal Mail so that might make a difference too. This is why I made a point of writing about the delivery time, as it unusually long.<br /><br />I decided not to disable right click on my website many years ago, and the same goes for my blog. I find it so annoying myself when I go to websites that have that script because it also means you can’t right click on links on the same page. If the developer haven’t made links that open in a new tap when you click on them, you’ll leave the page by clicking on the link! I like to be able to right click on a link and choose ‘open in a new tab’, then I can read the page that was recommended and go back to where I was originally afterwards – or I can just leave the new tab for later. If right click is disabled, choosing to open a link in a new tab is not possible. <br /><br />I am not too worried that people might nick my pictures, the ones I put on the blog are small resolution and can’t be used for much anyway, certainly not for printing. I have had many of my greeting cards free to download on my website for years, as high resolution zip files, and I like the thought of giving them away for free now and then – not much is free these days, I can still sell them through Fine Art America and possibly earn a bob or two!

I haven't sent for any cards from them but have had them from the other company that I use and the quality seems to be very similar but the other company only ships to the UK. I guess it does mean though that the cards arrived faster. If you don't mind I'd like to link to this post from my blog and website. As for people stealing images - I see you haven't disabled the right click on your blog. I did this recently so my images were a little more secure. I don't mind them being used if someone asks but don't like them to be just gathered without permission.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-43216927983854805402013-02-26T04:03:14.967+00:002013-02-26T04:03:14.967+00:00Wow, Helene!
