It is barely back-to-school time, and yet my kids are already running around in their Halloween costumes, talking about Thanksgiving break, and telling me "don't worry, Santa will get it for me." when I deny them a "last summer treat." Believe it or not, I've actually started thinking about The Holiday Card Photo, since the light, kids' energy, and our newfound (and quickly lost) time seems so beautiful in the autumn. Before we know it, December 1st comes along and - WHAM! - time to send out the cards.
I was fortunate to have gotten my holiday card done early last year since I reviewed Minted via the Parent Bloggers Network. As part of our review, we naturally had to order a bit earlier than usual. if you'll recall, I was thrilled with Minted's holiday photo cards.
Well, Minted will be rolling out its new holiday card styles in mid-September. I am excited to see their offerings this year. In the meantime, they've offered a discount code to my readers for their children's products. SPECTRUM09 (that is a zero-nine) will give you 25% off children's products. New baby on the way? Need some cute personalized stationery so the kids can send Grandma and Grandpa a note about their first day of school? Birthday parties coming up? Both my boys had their baptisms in the autumn, perhaps you are planning one too? Any occasion: Minted has got you covered. (If you are planning a wedding, code HAP75 will get you 75% off matching thank-you notes when you purchase 75 or more invitations - through 9/1/2009.)
Specific language from Minted: The code SPECTRUM09 will work for all of Minted's children stationery products: children's personal stationery, children's birthday party invitations, birth announcements, baby shower invitations, and baptism and christening announcements.
Enjoy the code while it lasts -- only until September 20, 2009 -- but at that point check out their holiday offerings and consider getting Minted for the holidays.

Disclaimer: I posted this code because Minted offered it to me. I receive no other compensation for creating this post other than a discount on Minted stationery. The decision to place little buttons on the sidebars of my blogs with this discount code is my own - simply to spread the word to my readers. I will not receive monetary compensation for advertising Minted in this fashion. When I originally posted about Minted last year, I received a discount on the stationery in exchange for my review, but did not receive additional compensation. I still spent my own money to complete my holiday card order. The statements in this post and the earlier post about Minted reflects my opinions. Aside from the specific language surrounding the discount code, Minted did not dictate what I should state in this post.
