I have never done anything quite like this before, but as they say:  There is always a first time; OR… Ask and you shall receive; OR… If you do not ask, you do not receive.  So please take a moment to read on.   Roz Fruchtman

On Sunday, September 2, 2007 I was watching a TV program about families who had little or no food and how the mother was afraid to ask for assistance because she was afraid of the reaction and possibly losing her children. I suppose we could also call this pride!

While my situation is not about food, the concept of asking for help was not lost on me and I decided I would reach out in the true spirit that there was really nothing wrong in asking for help and being forthright as to what that help would be.

Below is the message I sent out to my eCard club membership. The title is the same as this one so the message did not get lost within the regular club newsletter.

Thanks in advance for any assistance and/or guidance.

Dear Say It With eCards Club Members:

It has been my honor and a true blessing to be able to serve you
through my art.

Today I realized that *none of us lives alone in this world,* nor
can we do everything on our own without asking for help.

I come to you today to ask for your help in spreading the
word/sharing information about the Say It With eCards Judaic
Greetings Club.

I have willingly given myself to the design of this new site for
the past year. It was literally starting over because of the
name change, design of thousands of new Judaic eCard Images and
Categories as well as adding the up-to-date high-tech member
benefits and features. It was a life-consuming experience, but
one that had many highlights as well as trials and tribulations.

Without going on and on… I know that we all have an email
community that we share with – cherished family, friends, loved
ones, colleagues and business associates.

I come to you today… to ask that you let these people know
about the Say It With eCards website & service.

Rosh Hashanah is the best time to join as it is a time when most
reach out to send good wishes to their family, friends,
colleagues, love ones and business associates.

Say It With eCards offers a huge assortment of Rosh Hashanah
eCards that you can send a different one for each of the 10 days
in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and still have loads to
choose from. As well… new Rosh Hashanah categories have been
added !

INCENTIVE FOR JOINING…

The Grand Re-Opening / Rosh Hashanah Celebration offers A FREE
Membership for each NEW sign up or RENEWAL sign up of an EXPIRED
membership. (This site does not provide the ability to add on,
so the membership has to be used for someone else, or for you
under *a separate* email address. (for example: personal email
and business email)

If you like you can send the link below with a few words from
yourself. As a member you know firsthand what the service offers
and my dedication.

Thanks so much in advance for whatever you can do.

Don’t forget… there are a few Labor Day eCards if you want to
touch base with your friends, loved ones and business associates.
The element of surprise and appreciation an unexpected eCard
produces is priceless!

Shalom and Thanks in Advance.

NOW: More than 3,100 Judaic eCards Available
FREE: Grand Re-Opening / Rosh Hashanah 5768 Celebration
     Additional FREE 12-Month Membership

It’s been an exciting summer and promises to be an even more exciting New Year.

I have been working like a busy little beaver preparing for the upcoming Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah 5768) and the Say It With eCards Grand Re-Opening. (You might remember Say It With eCards opened its CyberSpace doors on September 1, 2006. For five years prior it was known as Graphics Schmaphics Exclusive Judaic Greetings Club.

Say It With eCards is the largest Judaic eCards website on the Internet.  It offers over 3,100 Judaic eCards — NOT available on another website on the Internet.

The site’s interface and color scheme has changed as well as a proper logo installed for branding and continuity.

LOGO WOES:

It was a struggle for me to come up with a new logo for Say It With eCards.  This baffled me as I desgned and created the one used prior on the earlier site.

On the Say It With eCards website…   No matter what logo design I tried it just did not look right.  Finally I bit the bullet and modified the logo I created six years prior for Graphics Schmaphics Exclusive Judaic Greetings Club (my earlier Judaic eCard Club website).  Lo and behold it worked and the brand shines through once again.  In the end it was a wise choice as people coming from the old site will feel right at home with the familiarity and continuity the Say It With eCards logo portrays.  Check it out:

http://www.SayItWithEcards.com

Stay tuned for more updates.  They should be coming back to back now with Rosh Hashanah in less than three weeks and the site’s grand re-opening in just days.

At this time Say It With eCards offers more than 100 Rosh Hashanah eCards in four (4) Categories with more being uploaded daily.

FOLLOW UP – Sunday, August 27, 2007

IF you are a follower of Big Brother 8, you see that Amber is not the sharpest tac in the box, but she seems to be a loyal person to those she is sligned with. 

I still do not forgive her for what she said about the Jewish Community, however, I would like to think once she gets out of the Big Brother house and realizes the ruckus she created with her unthinking remarks and wrong attitude perhaps she will see fit to publicly apologize and re-evaluate how she judges ethnic groups – Jewish or not.

Original Post – August 10, 2007

While this is out of place on this site, so were the comments made by Amber, one of the house guests on this Seasons Big Brother 8 on Channel 2.

I am an avid fan of Big Brother. I guess you can say it is my dirty little summer secret! It has always been entertaining and fun UNTIL this season/Big Brother Season 8.’s entertaining and fun most seasons. This season is more hurtful than most, but that is not what I am writing this about.

I decided to try out the trial membership to the 24/7 Big Brother Live Feeds. Big Brother blacks out the screens when they are doing certain things and/or do not want us hear what is going on.  However, it baffles me why Big Brother “did not” black out the screens when Amber went on a rant about New York City Jews and I guess we could say about Jews in general.  She went on about it for a long enough period that it should not have gone unnoticed.

NOTE:  I was not going to link to it, but I decided I would.  Here is one of the stories. 

As a Jewish woman I am appalled and find her behavior quite unforgivable. People cannot be “selectively spiritual” when it suits them!  Big Brother should give her the boot!  Her behavior is certainly inappropriate! I would not want to be her when she leaves the Big Brother house and finds her words in her own voice all over the Internet!  That in itself is a punishment that I would not want to live through!  If you watch the show you will see her crying a good deal of the time…  Now for sure… she will have something real to cry about!

I wonder if the news crews visited Amber’s family as she stated that they felt the same way about “Jews!”  What a claim to fame! 

I hope you will forgive me for posting this on a relatively happy and good-natured website.

It is hard to believe that Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year and the holiest time of the Jewish Faith will be here in a little more than two months – about 9 weeks or so.  To me… it seems like yesterday we were celebrating the Jewish New Year 5767. 

With this said… I am busily revamping last years Rosh Hashanah eCards and adding even more.  My goal is to make this year’s selection of Rosh Hashanah eCards bigger and better and more elegant than years past.

Stay tuned…

You can see my progress by visiting:
