Postcard Giveaway! (CLOSED)

The details of the giveaway prize:
- 100 postcards for one (1) winner
- 5" x 7" 14pt Cardstock Gloss
- Front Only Printing
- 2 business days turnaround
- Limited to US residents 18 years old and above

I have ordered these postcards in the 4" x 6" size from UPrinting before and they turned out beautifully! (Just between us, I think I'll have the graphic image on the postcard be smaller than 5" x 7" so I can use these as postcards without having to pay more than postcard postage for them due to their large size. I can cut them down to a good size easily enough.)
So, what would you do with 100 postcards? Leave a comment telling me how you would use the postcards for a chance to win! (Please make sure I have your email address so I can contact you if you are chosen as the winner.)

Announcing...
I'm tired, y'all. VBS wrapped up tonight at our church, and it's been a great but long week. I'm going to bed. And, hopefully, sleeping late in the morning. And hopefully the kids will sleep late, or else I won't be sleeping late...

A little housekeeping
I'll be the nursery director in our church for 2010, and I've had dozens of ideas bubbling around in my brain. If only those ideas would get in line...instead, they bump around each other and make me a little crazy. ;) One of the things I've been working on has been creating a design layout I could use for the postcards I'll be receiving from UPrinting.com. I have been looking around online for some ideas for reminder postcards for the nursery volunteers, and there's really not that much out there. So, here's my take on the project, using a 6x4 layout like the UPrinting postcards will be:

I also created a new front for the ones we'll print off ourselves so we can use a little less ink and it'll still be cute. :) Plus, I don't think the guys on the nursery rotation will appreciate the girly wreath photo too much...
If you happen to have a need for this kind of thing, email me and I'll be glad to send you the files in either Publisher or PhotoShop for you to customize, either for if you win my postcard giveaway or for another use.
Please click here to leave a comment on my giveaway for the 100 postcards from UPrinting.com! The giveaway ends on January 5, 2010, so there's still time. And so far your chances are very good that you will win. ;)
