Subhead:  Daylight Savings Time Begins on Sunday March 9, 2008 at 2AM.  What a great opportunity to stay in touch while sharing an important message and reminder!

Always wanting to stay current and on top of things — in order to provide members and visitors the greatest eCard sending opportunities — Say It With eCards is offering a variety of Judaic Clock Changing Reminder eCards.

Take this opportunity to touch base with friends, loved ones, family members and business associates while reminding them to change their clocks, cell phones, VCR’s, microwaves, watches, etc..  Trust me — it NEVER fails — there is ALWAYS that one clock that falls by the wayside and gets forgotten!  Your recipients will simply love you for reminding them!

I remember a time — many years ago — when I actually wound up in work “an hour early!”  If you knew me, you would know how unusual that was!

Check out the Say It With eCards collection of Judaic Themed Clock Changing Reminder eCards using the links below.  The eCards were designed in two flavors:  Judaic and Non-Judaic.

Judaic Daylight Savings Time eCards Reminders / 
Spring Ahead eCards — MOVE clocks FORWARD one hour

On a more personal note:  This is my most favorite time of the year.  To me, receiving an extra hour of daylight is like a “Gift from God!”  It’s free, and it is all ours for the taking!  As a digital artist, its a tremendous opportunity to get out there between the hours of sundown and night fall to just snap away!

Enjoy!

Warm Regards,

Keeping with my theory, “Jewish People Are People Too,” Say It With eCards is offering Judaic Themed St. Patrick’s Day eCards.  Please read on…

In my younger days… St. Patrick’s Day was a big deal.  In fact I used to take the day off!

St. Patrick’s Day was the day when we all got together, even those we had not seen all year.  It did not matter whether we were Jewish or Irish.  It was just a day when lots of fun was to be had!

Like they say:  “One does not have to be Irish to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!”  Another saying is:  “Everyone is Irish on St. Patty’s Day!” 

Well, I guess there is still a little St. Patrick’s Day fun in me… 

Since Say It With eCards is Judaic Themed, I broke all rules and created a group of Judaic St. Patrick’s Day eCards which I call Jewish Luck eCards.  Check them out at the links below, they are cheerful and great fun:

• Judaic St. Patrick’s Day eCards /
  Jewish Themed St. Patrick’s Day eCards
• St. Patrick’s Day eCards — Traditional/Non-Judaic

Enjoy!

Warm Regards,

Shabbat Shalom to you and yours!

Please… Take a moment to Send an eCard and Make a Difference.

Say It With eCards offers a huge selection of Shabbat Shalom and Gut Shabbos eCards.  That’s right the cards are designed in two flavors.  Send whichever is appropriate for your needs.  Check out the links below:

Shabbat Shalom eCards — http://www.sayitwithecards.com/index.php?cat_id=186

Gut Shabbos eCards — http://www.sayitwithecards.com/index.php?cat_id=187

As the risk of repeating myself… Please take a moment to brighten up someone else’s life.  We never really know what is going on behind closed doors.

For example:  On Wednesday I had some computer issues.  If you deal with Dell, then you might know what I mean.  Five hours on the phone and still no real resolution.  I am awaiting a phone call from the escalation department.  MY POINT… I would have appreciated any little bit of kindness shown to me that day. (I will say this, I have purchased three Dell computers in my lifetime, there WILL NOT be a forth!)

My point: In the scheme of things my problems were minor as to what could have been; Thank God, no one died, no one was sick, etc..  But the meaning is the same…  Take a moment or two to reach out to friends, business associates and acquaintances.  It will make a huge difference and you will be remembered kindly for your efforts.  Most people are so busy in their own lives they just do not think of doing little niceties for others.  They are not mean, they are just busy.  Break the pattern, DO IT NOW!

Shabbat Shalom to You and Yours and don’t forget to enjoy your weekend!

Warm Regards,

My name is Roz Fruchtman.  I am the Owner/Designer of Say It With eCards Judaic Greetings / aka Say It With eCards at http://www.SayItWithEcards.com

To be quite honest… before I came to the web, tapped into my emotions and deep compassion for others and ultimately started designing and creating eCards / Judaic eCards it probably never occurred to me that Valentines Day is NOT just for lovers and significant others. 

Valentines Day IS a day to reach out and “show appreciation, compassion and love” to everyone:  loved ones and significant others, of course; friends; family; business associates and acquaintances.  People are the same whether they are in couples or single.  They should not be treated differently or thought of as different because they are alone.

The way the media — TV, Internet, Newspapers, etc. —  address Valentines Day many find the day depressing instead of full of joy.  Why?  Because not everyone is alone by choice – whether they have not met Mr. Right / Ms. Right or their special Mr. Right / Ms. Right is no longer in their lives – for one reason or another.  No one should be made to feel insignificant or different because of their circumstances relating to their love life.

For this reason, since I can do something to help… at Say It With eCards I am offering a variety of Valentines Day eCards.  On the site it is called either Love in February or Valentines Day Judaic Style as Valentines Day is not a Jewish Holiday per se.  But… Jewish People Love, and these Judaic Love eCards are designed especially for them and their recipients.

Check out Say It With eCards collection by clicking the links below:

• Judaic Valentines Day eCards – General (Judaic and NON-Judaic)
• Judaic Valentine Day eCards – Fun
• Judaic Valentines Day eCards – Friendship
• Judaic Valentines Day eCards for the Troops
• Judaic Valentines Day eCards – Patriotic
• Judaic Valentines Day eCards – Thinking of You

Everyone is important and everyone should be remembered.  These holidays are a time to reach out and say hello, I’m here for you, I love you.  With Say It With eCards you can always find the right Judaic eCards for the right moment.

If you need help on what to send to who, please feel free to contact me.  I am only an email away.

Happy Valentines Day / Happy Love in February / Happy Valentines Day Judaic Style

Warm Regards,

I am so excited!  I was interviewed on Wednesday morning by Daren Jaime, the host of BronxNet’s TV program “OPEN!”  They were doing a segment on “Valentines Day Culture!”  I was asked to talk about Say It With eCards and Valentines Day.

What a thrill, to finally be validated for all the hard work I have done for the past seven years with Judaic eCards.  It was such an empowering experience.

I’ve never done TV before, so was not sure what to expect.  They made it very comfortable and I felt like I was having a cup of coffee with a friend.  THANK YOU to all who made this possible!

It’s funny… when you do an interview you really have no idea how it looks or sounds to the public.  So far, I have not embarrassed myself – Thank G-d!

As well I was able to finally get some exposure for my Troops Project.

I watched the interview this evening.  I have to admin, in the short time I was there, I did myself proud.  I am looking forward to the next one and the one after that!

I will do my best to get the video to post on the Say It With eCards website.  Stay tuned!

————————————————-

Quoted directly from the OPEN website:

OPEN is shot LIVE from BRONXNET’s studios and invites viewers to participate through phone or email. The show builds on the station’s mission to provide useful information to the Bronx public, while helping young adults develop media careers.

Thanks for sharing this exciting experience with me.

Warmly,

HERE WE GO AGAIN…  Won’t you help spread the word? Or not?

I must be a glutton for punishment, but I love our troops and I refuse to let the nay sayers stop me from trying to help.  It took me a bit to just get angry and funnel that anger into ambition and enthusiasm to try again.

Roz Fruchtman of Say It With eCards is resurrecting her offer to bring Jewish Soldiers home electronically, uniting them with loved ones, family, friends and business associates during February, The Month of Love – and for the next 12 months.

THINK THIS IS CRAZY… PLEASE READ ON…

In gratitude and appreciation, Roz Fruchtman, the owner of Say It With eCards Judaic Greetings (aka Say It With eCards) is once again offering 100 FREE Annual Judaic eCards Club Memberships to ALL Jewish Troops.

Roz says: “This is the next best thing to being there as the service has the ability to include a digital image and/or audio file for more personalized customization.”

Roz goes on to say: “The Troops may not have time to write long letters back home, but they surely have a moment or two — every now and again — to zip off an eCard across the many miles of CyberSpace to loved ones, friends, family members and business associates just to say “Hello,” … “ I’m Ok,”  or to send a quick
note (eCard) on a birthday, anniversary, etc.!”

With warm regards,

February is what I lovingly call:  “The Month of the Heart!”

Once again I design in the theory:  “Jewish People are People Too!”  They celebrate and/or acknowledge most of the same holidays and events that Non-Jews do.  Thus my designs are Judaic in theme.

Everything February is “heart related,” whether emotionally or physically.

Wear Red Day — February 1, 2008 (but not too late to send a card to the special women you care and know)Wear Red Day is dedicated to bringing awareness to Heart Disease as the “Number One” killer of women.

American Heart Month — The month to remind everyone to live “heart smart” and  take care of themselves and remind their loved ones and friends to do the same — before it is too late.

International Friendship Month — What a great way to recognize those special people in our lives who have been their to support us through thick and thin.  Trust me… this is a priceless gift that does not cost a dime, and one that should be recognized not only during February, but everyday, 24/7, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

PERSONAL OBSERVATION: The word friend is thrown around loosely in many case, but your real friends are those who are there when things are not so rosey and the chips are down!  It should be known as International Loyalty Month!)

Valentines Day – Known as the “Day for Lovers.”  (I take offense to this one and am going to demonstrate its other values in a later post!)

10 New Judaic eCards Designs… 

Once again, I designed with the theory that “Jewish People are People Too!”  We celebrate and acknowledge most of the same holidays and occasions that the rest of the world does. 

With this thought in mind, while taking a break from life and chatting with a friend via phone, I was flipping through the already vast collection of Judaic Birthday eCards available in the Say It With eCards member area.  With no real plan in mind, by the end of the phone call I was the proud designer of 10 new Say It With eCards Judaic Birthday Greetings.  Trust me… It is NOT always that easy!

The designs are cheery, bright and lively.  They are elegant enough to be sent to business associates and clients, as well as to personal friends, loved ones and relatives.

CLICK THIS LINK… to CHECK OUT the entire Say It With eCards Judaic Birthday eCards collection.  They are separated into categories.  Just click the links in the respective categories.

Warm Regards,

Shalom:

Depending on where you are reading this from…  Today/Tomorrow – Friday, February 1, 2008 is *National Wear Red Day,* or *Wear Red Dress Day!*

I believe they changed it to National Wear Red Day so that men can join in to bring *Awareness of Heart Disease being the NUMBER ONE cause of death in women.

Because this is so important and I would like to give back and pass it forward, I designed THREE FREE Wear Red eCards (or Wear Red Dress Day eCards). 

Who knows… you may even save a life of two by making someone aware of the statistics that Heart Disease is the NUMBER ONE killer of women.

SEND A FREE CARD to *every* women you know — Jewish or not.  I created the FREE cards in two flavors:  Jewish and NON-Jewish.  So you have absolutely no excuse.

We need to get more proactive and involved.  In this case you do not even have to leave the comfort and safety of your home or office. 

DO IT…

Go here to send your FREE Wear Red eCards.

Please let others know about this. 

Shabbat Shalom in Advance.

NOTE:  For those who are members of Say It With eCards, the member area contains 1 1/2 dozen of each type with different phrases.

Warm Regards,

February is the “Month of the Heart” at Say It With eCards Judaic Greetings Club…

What makes Say It With eCards different from the rest is that I, as a Jewish woman and Jewish Digital Artist, design under the assumption that “Jewish People Are People Too!”  Those of the Jewish faith celebrate most of the same holidays and occasions that Non-Jews do.  We have the same dreams, feelings, emotions and goals, etc.

With this in mind, where possible I do  my best to design Judaic Themed eCards for those occasions where it would not be offensive to do so. 

While the Jewish People do not traditionally celebrate Saint-related holidays, Jewish people DO love.  So  I found a way to have Judaic Themed Love eCards

Briefly, a list of the February Holidays, Celebrations and Acknowledgements is below:

• February 1, 2008 is National Wear Red Day
  http://www.sayitwithecards.com/index.php?cat_id=542

• February is – National Heart Health Month
  http://www.sayitwithecards.com/index.php?cat_id=224

• February is – International Friendship Month
  http://www.sayitwithecards.com/index.php?cat_id=269

• February 14, 2008 is Valentines Day – Judaic Style
  http://www.sayitwithecards.com/index.php?cat_id=48

I will be writing indepth entries on each of these upcoming February “Heart” Events.  As you can see… ALL are “heart” related.

Warmly,
