Custom Creations Unlimited, Inc.

A Photo Blanket is a gift that will be cherished forever. Our Photo Blankets can be used everyday or displayed as a keepsake. You can add text or use multiple photos on your Photo Blanket, at no additional charge. A free proof is included with every order.

Why buy from Custom Creations?
Our designers manually match the colors in your photo to our extensive color palette creating a photo blanket with more accurate and more vibrant colors than our competitors who use an automated process to map the colors. While our competitor's automation saves them time it results in a photo blanket of lower resolution and a more grainy and sometime more blurry look for you. More professional photographers purchase our photo blankets than any other.

Custom Creations Unlimited, Inc. is a family owned business located in western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, Wheaton to be exact. It all started when our son was born in 1997, we wanted to send out a personalized birth announcement as unique and beautiful as our new baby boy. We found our options were either too expensive, too slow or too 'cookie cutter'. We ended up creating and printing our won. Two months later, we set out to provide the product and the service we couldn't find.

Since that day, we've grown beyond our wildest dreams. We still print many personalized invitations and announcements but our personalized gifts have just taken off. Our Photo Blankets and Photo Towels have been the gift of choice for so many customers, especially during the winter holidays.

FreeShipping.org

2008-07-24T09:09:00-07:00

FreeShipping.org is the largest resource on the Internet that links shoppers to free shipping deals offered by online retailers. To date, there are more than 700 online retailers represented on the site, including JCPenney, Target, Bloomingdale's, Kohl’s, Sears, Best Buy, Nordstrom and Macy’s.

The site is appealing to online shoppers because it is a one-stop destination for them to find online retailers that offer free shipping deals, and they can review the variety of free shipping deals provided by each online retailer. When visitors click on a retailer’s section on FreeShipping.org, they will find information on each deal, purchase requirements, expiration dates and free shipping codes.

Retailers benefit from offering their free shipping deals on the site because they reach onlineshoppers who are searching for free shipping-friendly merchants.

FreeShipping.org was co-founded by husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Luke and Maisie Knowles. Luke, who is 31, earned bachelor’s degrees in graphic design and digital media from John Brown University. Maisie Knowles, who is 25, earned a bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of Colorado.

Luke and Maisie live in Orlando and have one daughter, Isabelle.

They had founded an interactive design company called Kinoli in 2005 and then introduced an online coupon site in 2007. They noticed that the free shipping section was attracting a lot of interest, so they saw an opportunity and decided to solely focus on the free shipping niche.

www.scanalog.com
While media professionals argue about the fate of print, consumers whole-heartedly continue to buy, read, and clip favorite articles from glossy magazines to local papers. Nearly every magazine reader has, at one time or another when hoping to utilize their archived magazine clippings, wondered "There was this magazine article that showed just what I wanted.Now where on earth is it. . . ?" From this dilemma, Scanalog was developed.

Scanalog is a time-saving, hassle-preventing, space-conserving computer software that eliminates the clutter of unorganized magazine and newspaper clippings by creating an efficient storage system for them on your computer.

Scanalog is the only interactive CD-Rom that allows frequent clippers to scan articles, save them and actually organize them on their computer in 11 pre-selected master categories and 102 subcategories, covering areas such as Antiques and Collectibles, Food and Wine, Parenting, Gardening, Home Design and many others. Uber-organized users can even create an additional 95 subcategories of their own.

While reading a magazine, the user can mark a selected article with Scanalog's unique SCANTABS labels, which indicate in which category the article should be cataloged. Then the user scans the article, using their personal scanner, into the appropriate Scanalog category. Clicking "Search" and using appropriate keywords will retrieve the article in seconds. For organizing digital and online content stored on your computer, Scanalog uses its unique "Retreive" feature. You can even import and organize photographs directly from your digital camera into Scanalog. Whatever your project, whatever your magazine archive themes, however you would like to organize them, Scanalog has an answer that will make things easier, less time-consuming and end in the best result.

Nature's Avenger®

2008-03-15T16:30:30-07:00

naturesavenger.com
Nature's Avenger® Organic is a natural citrus oil based herbicide designed to meet the demands and needs of homeowners and businesses looking for an alternative to synthetic herbicides or less effective natural products.

Through extensive research and development, our patented formula works fast and is extremely effective. When Nature’s Avenger is applied to weeds, its degreasing properties strip off the plant’s waxy cuticle. The result is dehydration, which in turn leads to dead weeds, down to the root in smaller, younger weeds. Nature’s Avenger works much faster than glyphosate, clove oil or acidic acid products, often seeing results in a few hours. Use Nature’s Avenger Organic for non-selective control of herbaceous broad leaf and grass weeds, such as lambs quarters, nightshade, velvetleaf, purslane, chickweed, clover, dandelion, foxtail, ivy leaf, milkweed, morning glory, pigweed, poison hemlock, liverwort, ragweed, sickle pod, quack grass, and bluegrass.

Emerita® - Paraben-Free Pro-Gest

2008-03-06T17:03:00-08:00

emerita.com
The Original Natural Progesterone Cream® goes paraben-free! Who knew a little tube of cream could change the world? In 1978 we had a revolutionary idea: that there was not enough choice when it came to support for perimenopause and menopause. So we created Pro-Gest to give women a much-deserved alternative. It's the only natural progesterone cream that's been clinically tested. It's the best-selling progesterone cream available anywhere (and has been for many years).

Pro-Gest cream is manufactured to contain 450 milligrams (mg) of USP Progesterone per ounce (900 mg per two-ounce tube). Each ¼ tsp contains approximately 20 mg of USP Progesterone. Careful clinical research has shown this to be an effective amount to achieve a natural balance.

United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) denotes a government recognized standard of purity and strength. It is sometimes referred to as "human-identical" or "bio-identical" progesterone, which differentiates it from synthetic progestins or progestogens. USP classifies the progesterone as the highest quality available.

Star 50 Handbags

2008-01-14T16:08:00-08:00

star50bags.com
Star 50 Bags, an innovative line of collectible handbags inspired by every state in the Union, will be donating 5% of all sales from their Louisiana Market Sac to the Make it Right Foundation supporting the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

“I am thrilled that Star 50 Handbags will be doing their part in helping the families of New Orleans,” said Amity Cooper, Founder of Star 50 Handbags. “I think it is important that as many people as possible lend a hand and help these in any way possible.”

The Louisiana Market Sac is a sturdy canvas tote trimmed with brightly striped ribbon and features leatherette shoulder straps. Inspired by the bags of New Orleans locals being carried to open-air markets, it holds more than crawfish and fresh produce! An attached authentic gris-gris bag (handmade by Bloody Mary’s voodoo shop in New Orleans brings prosperity and blessings to its owners.

About the Make it Right Foundation

In December 2006, Brad Pitt convened a group of experts in New Orleans to brainstorm about building green affordable housing on a large scale to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. Having spent time with community leaders and displaced residents determined to return home, Pitt realized that an opportunity existed to build houses that were not only stronger and healthier, but that had less impact on the environment.

After discussing the hurdles associated with rebuilding in a devastated area, the group determined that a large-scale redevelopment project focused on green affordable housing and incorporating innovative design was indeed possible. The group settled on the goal of constructing 150 homes (one of the larger rebuilding projects in the city), with an emphasis on developing an affordable system that could be replicated.

About Star50 Handbags:

Star 50 Handbags was founded in 2002 by Amity Cooper. "It's been a 'sentimental journey," Cooper says. "I call these modern heirlooms, because they trigger a fond memory or impression about a place or time. It's similar to the way your grandmother's china brings back fond memories of Thanksgivings gone by. People often buy the bags as a memento of a particular time or place."

Why handbags? Nostalgia. "In the 1930s and '40s, your hat was the accessory. You weren't dressed until you had your hat on. Today, the handbag is the signature piece that sets your style. I call it a return to iconic style."

With the Star 50 collection you can literally Choose your state of mind^TM every day. Enjoy the trip!

Your Dress, Your Way.

The next time you see a woman yanking, pulling and sucking it all in because of an ill-fitting dress (most likely in an unflattering color), feel free to let her in on a little-known fashionista secret - customer designed dresses by Coco Myles. By pairing fashion with technology, Coco Myles makes it easy to create a truly unique gown, inspired by a woman's own style, or a recent celebrity red-carpet rave.

Coco Myles lets any woman act out her inner fashion designer fantasies - you pick the tops, the bottoms, the beading patterns, and the colors. Sizing comes 2-32, and the precise sizing specifications ensure a fit better than anything pre-made.

Explain to poor Miss Poorly Dressed that she could have had that dress custom-made to her specifications, then cut and sewn, by hand, by professional dressmakers for less than she paid at the store. Really! Coco Myles handmade dresses are shipped directly from dressmakers to customers without the need for middlemen or retailers.

Now, you could keep this insider knowledge to yourself, but really, does the world need any more women doing the yanking-pulling "but it looked so cute in the catalog/on the model" dress dance?

We didn't think so!

Finally... skin care products specifically developed for women over 40. Since 1978, Emerita has focused research on how hormonal changes affect a wide variety of functions in the body. We developed a line of effective supplements which support the health and well being of perimenopausal and menopausal women. And we've applied what we've learned to products for woman's sexual vitality and skin care as well.

The natural decline in hormone levels after 40 creates changes in your skin which include increased dryness from a decline in oil production, roughness from a reduction in cell turnover and a natural decrease in skin self-healing brought on by lower production of new collagen and elastin.

Emerita's paraben and fragrance-free skin care line addresses the maturing needs of women's skin with organic and botanical functional ingredients that bring back skin's youthful appearance.

Pixture This from Kathy Lo Rocks shares the fun of making customized necklaces, earrings, bracelets, cufflinks, rings and charms with customers. This reversible photo necklace encapsulates a fond memory of your perfect children having fun at the beach. Prices for this waterproof jewelry line start at $32.

The process is easy whether you make necklace or any of the rest of the array of sterling silver options. Now there’s a gold charm option, too. This Eiffel Tower piece is a mental vacation necklace. Get this, there’s no airfare required! Customers need to log on, choose a piece of jewelry and then upload one or two photos and size them. Or choose from an array of Japanese chiyogami paper. Or do one side of paper and the other a photo since it is reversible. The design is then handcrafted into an original piece of artwork by putting an acrylic cover over the personalized design.

The options are limitless. For example, these baby cufflinks ensure your little darling will always be with you. Or if your baby is your dog, then create a “love My Dog” piece. That way you can circumvent those pesky leash laws!
