Ode to Father’s Day

Ever wonder how Father’s Day came to be? Here’s an article I found and the link to that website. Remember, your Dad has enough stuff, honor him this year by giving him a Foldin’ Money Tie or Shirt. Recyclable and Spendable! He’ll LOVE it!!

Father's Day is celebrated popularly on 3rd Sunday in June in many parts of the world. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. So Father's Day was born as a token of love and gratitude that a daughter cherishes for her beloved father. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.

Wedding Cakes & Wedding Presents in one By Foldin Money

Who does not like a good piece of cake? I know that I have friends who's sole purpose in attending weddings is to enjoy that cake at the end. It makes me wonder if the cake is really for the Bride & Groom or if it is really for the guests?

So with this as my logic I am making the Bride and Groom a Foldin' Money Wedding Cake! Foldin' Money Design Kits are a fun, fast and easy way to give cash as a wedding present that has some real WOW factor!

Here is how it works:

Step 1)
• Purchase a Foldin' Money Cake Design Kit online (www.foldinmoney.com) or wherever Foldin’ Money products are sold!

Step 2)
• Unwrap the Kit and cut out your templates and decide how much your gift is going to be worth. For weddings, I recommend that you think $50 or higher. Just remember that the Cake Design requires 4 bills total! Example: $50 cake equals 1 X $20 and 3 X $10 bills!

Step 3)
• Now it’s time to Fold your Money into the best wedding gift ever! Follow the included step-by-step instructions to fold each Layer of the cake! Once all the layers are folded you will assemble them into a completed Cake Design.

Step 4)
• It’s time to decorate that cake design in a wedding theme! Check with a local craft store to find an acceptable cake topper and all the trimmings! Congratulations! Your gift just might steal the show.

Remember that Foldin' Money designs are gifts that are meant to be taken apart and spent! Foldin' Money is a unique way to give cash with a touch of class, and in a personal way! They are a perfect match for weddings because who could not use more cash in their lives. These Designs are perfect for weddings that you cannot attend in person because they ship flat and still have the WOW factor when they arrive. www.foldinmoney.com

Mom Doesn't Need More Stuff To Dust

Mother’s Day is coming up soon and the question of what to get mom to show her she is appreciated is something I am frequently asked! I know everyone loves their mom, but she really doesn’t want anything more to dust or another set of fingertip towels. She hasn’t used the last three sets yet! So, what to give her to show her how much she means to you and how thankful you are to have her in your life?

Seems to me, mom would know best what she needs or wants. Besides, you may not have the same tastes. Giving her some spending money would be a great idea because it gives mom the freedom of choice! Now the question is, how to give cash in a personal way that doesn’t require any expertise or a huge investment in time and materials! That is exactly why I developed Foldin’ Money Kits! They are a unique and fun way to give a gift of cash with a touch of class and still stay within your budget!

Giving money and still looking cool doing it is what these kits are all about! They are easy to make and will be a big hit with mom! You will feel satisfaction in giving a handmade gift that is practical, useable and fun! The added beauty of this gift is that it easily unfolds so that mom can spend it any way she wishes! Your mom will love it and love you for being so creative and thoughtful. It’s a real memory maker and...she’ll never have to dust it!
