Vintage Valentine's Day Cards

Vintage Valentine's Day cards are unique and a special way to share your heart with someone. Vintage refers to images that come from old postcards and designs which date back as early as 1908. Below are the best Valentine greeting cards on Zazzle and Amazon by Sandy Mertens. I love the Victorian style images and fortunate to have some of these holiday cards in my personal collection. The greeting cards on Zazzle are the images on modern cards and sold individually or at a discount when you buy 10 or more of each card.  Visiting Amazon, these can be bought as a single card or in a set of 6 or 12 cards. Sandy Mertens Vintage Valentine Designs




Unique Valentines Day Cards
Cupid, couples, cherubs, children, and flowers are all part of these Valentines.

Fabulous at 50 Gifts

Fabulous at 50 birthday party (or 50th anniversary) gifts theme with a black, white, or teal background and gold letters to celebrate the halfway mark to 100. Turning 50 is a milestone. It is the age that one can look at it in a positive manner as fabulous or dwell on the fact that one is closer to the grave. A few months ago I was asked to create a couple of mugs for two of my relatives' birthdays with these special words for blue and teal mugs. I also added their photos to personalize the drinkware. (Note that you can change the background color to any of these gifts.)

50 and Fabulous


Below are some delicious treats and gifts for the party. Click on the images to check out the prices and to purchase. More of these special day celebration gifts for all ages are found on Birthday Cards & Gifts at Sandyspider Designs on Zazzle.

Magic Bullet NutriBullet 12-Piece High-Speed Blender/Mixer System



Throw in your favorite fruits for a delicious smoothie. Make a healthy vegetable drink. It is fun to make something good to drink and more beneficial for your body than reaching for that soft drink.

Two Christmas's ago my daughter bought herself and me one of these nutritious health-conscious, drink making machines.

The Magic Bullet NutriBullet is more than a blender mixer and would make a perfect gift for your wife or husband for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or Christmas.

NutriBullet ZNBF30500Z Blender Combo 1200 Watt, 1200W, Dark Gray



 I have a juicer and this is not that. My juicer is messy and much of the good pulp is wasted. With the NutriBullet, all the seeds, stems, and skins are pulverized down into a nutritional, vitamin, and mineral-rich drink. The 12 piece set includes the cups with reusable lids, one user manual/cookbook, and a pocket nutritionist.



The NutriBullet Blender has a selection of blender options, from deluxe to a smaller version which is good for one or two people.

Those who want to try juicing but want to save some money can start off with the small Magic Bullet Small Blender.

 I recently had lost 25 pounds while following some of the weight loss recipes. Many healthy juice recipes offered from their NutriLiving Recipes pages for blood pressure, digestion detoxification, inflammation, weight loss, and more.

Unfortunately, I have gone off my diet for a couple of months. But I am looking forward to and healthy juicing again. This will not be a diet but a healthy lifestyle choice.

Here is what I recommend and would like you to join me in gaining more energy, losing weight, or just becoming a healthier you in 2016.
