Welcome everyone newer than me, and thank you for the welcomes everyone whose been here longer.
jana- Yay on the Alexa ranking. You know I love your blog, so I'm thrilled to see it doing so well.
I also recommend Vista Print. They have reasonable prices, let you upload your own designs and create really nice looking cards. They tend to be comparable to the office stores even once you figure in shipping, at least if you're doing anything than single color text on a plain background.
In the past, I've made my own to save money and you can tell.

Hey everybody, my name is Jen and I am a personal finance blogger at Master the Art of Saving. I just joined the Yakezie Challenge with an Alexa ranking of 1,194,732 on 8/19/2011.
I'm 29 and live in Vancouver, WA (near Portland, OR) with my husband and our 8 year-old daughter. My husband totally sucks with money, so it fell to me to handle all the financial stuff (which I screwed up back in the day). Everyday I think I'm learning a little more and getting a little bit better with it. There really is so much to learn; I guess it's the same with all things though.
I just had my 1st blogiversary on the 7/8th of this month, but have only been specifically focused on Personal Finance (blogging) for around 4 months. One of the main reasons I wanted to start blogging, of course aside from helping others, was to get over my super-crazy shyness. Not happening as quickly as I thought it would. :-(
I've never posting anything in a forum before and I have no idea what I'm doing.

Welcome Jen! I am shy (and an introvert) too. Being online vs having to talk face to face help me majorly. Yakezie is a really friendly bunch of folks so make yourself at home and ask away anything you have in mind. If you have any questions or comments, you could email me anytime too.
I subscribed to your blog. Looking forward to catching up on your posts…

Hey everyone!
I've had the privilege of talking with a lot of you on twitter, but I finally decided to throw my hat in the ring on the Yakezie Challenge.
Welcome Jeff!
