Hello my dear friends, it is nice to be here, after quite some time! Well, after having finished my exams yesterday, I wanted to have a break, a real break, by going out for shopping or at least for window-shopping. I hardly had time for these during my course. Then I realized that it’s impossible! This is because of the severe blizzard that we have been experiencing for the past two days.
I am left with just few options, either to read a good book, or to visit a nice website. I chose the second option, as I am badly in need of a nice website, from where I can send free greeting cards to my friends and relatives. As you can imagine, I am really bored of Blue Mountain cards and 123 greetings of course! I am sure there are people like me, who have got bored of these common sites for cards.
Well, December is the month of Christmas and also holiday season for all. New year is fast approaching, and it will be good if we know a good website to send free greetings to our beloved ones far and near. That’s the reason for my selecting http://www.CastleMountain.com, after browsing so many free sites for cards. Here I am to share my findings about the interesting site. I must say that I was not disappointed at all with my visit to this website, as I could see there a lot of lovely cards.
Let’s visit the website now! According to them, it is your resource for best free greetings! The layout of the website is very simple, yet appealing! As you open the website, you can see a row of castles on top, and moving mountains behind them. Maybe to justify the title of the website. What do you think?
Under Fun Flash greetings, you can see some real cool cards. These cards can be personalized and have the option of being sent as Plain, Simple or Fancy. You can send in whatever way you like.
If you click on the December Calendar, at once you will be taken to a page with floating snowflakes, where you’ll also find two cute teddy bears reading a Christmas Story book. As you scroll down, you can see the calendar for the month of December. There is a special card symbolizing almost each day of December, if not all. For example, the 5th day of December is seen as Blue Jean’s Day, with a cute card for that day. Mr. Levis Strauss seems to have designed the first blue jeans on this date in 1880. How about sending that card to your friend or somebody, who is a mad lover of jeans?
The section, which says ‘Today’s cards’, has lots of beautiful, meaningful cards. Not only Christmas cards, you have access to many interesting kinds of cards as well. For example, one of the cards has a picture of a sweet kitten with the wording as follows. “How much simpler each day would be if we didn’t take ourselves too seriously”. The kitten really looked serious as if to justify the wording!
Owing to the Christmas season, there are some additional features in this website. Children, who are interested in sending a letter to Santa Claus can do so, after filling up the given form, and they are informed that Santa Claus will answer their letters. It will be real fun for children.
Another feature is that, you can install CastleMountain’s desktop calendar if you wish to. It is a little desktop calendar that lets you know what day it is. The calendar has a menu, and you can change the font color also. It is quite easy to download and install this desktop calendar.
The card under ‘Daily Reflections’ showing a reindeer in a snow-covered area looked superb, with the beautiful lake applelets. I am sure you will like it. The scenery looks very natural and brings life to the card itself!
Daily Thought column provides a thought everyday. Beneath that column, you can see more greeting cards, which you can send with java or without java. There are lots of fun sites you can access here like Big fat Baby, Cute Stuf, JustsayWow etc. You just have to find time to browse through all!
You will also find a Fun Forum section, where you can post a few jokes or messages and chat with some fun-loving people. They also have a few selected featured page greetings and flash greetings.
Today’s Teaser-Until I am measured I am not known, Yet how you miss me When I have flown. What Am I? The answer is given in scrambled letters. When you place your cursor on them, you will get the answer. Interesting, right?
Lastly, there is a link to add free postcard service to your site, if you own a site. Okay, that’s all folks, I wanted to say about this wonderful site. I have introduced you to this site and it is your look out now to find time to browse and select cards for sending. Happy browsing and happy card sending! Enjoy your time with https://CastlesMountains.com! Have a great weekend!
