Hello!
This Monday (the 3rd of October) is Labour day for many Australians in Australians Capital Territory, New South Wales and South Australia. Because of the difference in spelling to the American Labor Day, I am pleased to let you know that we have adapted our Labour day e card so that it can be used by Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders to help them celebrate!
To view the e card, take a look at the Labour day e-card catergory on the Katies Cards website and you will find cards with both versions of the spelling.
Also, don't forget that today is the last day of the Katies Cards competition! Its your last chance to enter to be in with a chance of winning a £15 Amazon voucher so don't delay - enter now! For instructions, please visit: http://ecards.katiescards.com/6237705747/enter-the-katies-cards-competition-to-be-in-with-a-chance-of-winning-a-15-amazon-voucher.html
I will announce the winner on Monday! Good luck, and have a lovely weekend!

A great website for inspiration!
Hi all!
I like to spend some of my spare time browsing the internet and looking for new ideas and inspiration for e cards.
I came across this really interesting website that you might like called Daily Design Discovery.
They add a different product, picture, or something of interest every day and recently it has featured an interesting article about an autistic cartoonist in the New York Times, Eames wire-base tables, some sculpture, prints and paintings along with other objects such as the restored vintage typewritters by Kasbah Mod and the Vintage Beacon II/Whitehouse Camera.
Take a look, its a refreshing website and one that you will see something different!

Mmmmmm a lovely Nigella salmon and noodle recipe!
Hi all,
Nick's birthday was a couple of weeks ago now, but I decided to make this lovely Nigella dish for him and it was really delicious so I had to share it with you!
The dish was very aromatic and spicy and had marinated and fried salmon fillets and singapore noodles with vegetables. It had a lot of ingredients but actually didn't take that long to do once I got the preparation of chopping etc done.
You can find the ingredients and method on Nigella's lovely website here. If you don't like samlon I would still encourage you to try it, but you could subsitute the salmon for chicken. I do love Nigella recipes - are you a fan of hers too? Have you got any Nigella or your own favourite recipes that you want to share?

Autumn fun and don't forget the competition!
Hello,
Don't you just love autumn? I do, everyone is back at work/school /university after summer holidays feeling rested and ready to take on challenges of year ahead. Halloween is coming up followed swiftly by Fireworks night!
At the moment in Briton, leaves on the trees are turning into beautiful orangey, red and pink and they are lovely to look at. There is nothing more satisfying than walking though lots of leaves and this season really brings out the child in me and brings back memories of building dens, the excitement of playing outside in the dark, halloween, bonfire night and the anticipation that Christmas is coming! Its a magical time of year!

Racheal's Greek holiday and don't forget to enter the competition!
Hello all!
Racheal is going on holiday for a well deserved break to a Greek island on Sunday for a week. Her 3 months here have been very busy but she has done lots to push forward our e cards, including helping me to make sure I write this blog daily and write interesting things in it!
I have to say I'm rather jealous of her! I could do with a week on a Greek island sunning myself but with Molly and Joe still at school, we can only have a holiday during the school breaks.
Whilst she is away I will be getting on with some new e card designs, looking after the competion and answering e card queries.
I know I have gone on and on about it, but the competition closing date is not until next Friday so please enter. Apart from the fantastic £15 Amazon prize, it is also a chance for you to tell me your opinions and have some input into the new cards that are made.
Once again, all you have to do to enter is to choose your favourite Christmas ecard from our collection and then tell us why you like it on the Katies Cards Facebook page. For clearer instructions please take a look here.
Have a nice weekend!
