With our latest Canada Post 'no mail' in/out situation, does anyone have a suggestion of a decent free or reasonable cost site or something to use so that we can send a simple Birthday Card to our grandson??
I've given up Googling and the lack of any decent quality choices I came across and I guess I'm thinking of something like the defunct Apple iCards that were also printable that would do.
Thanks in advance, and any other suggestions welcomed.

I have a friend who subscribed to a couple of these things (like AmericanGreetings, etc.). They do like to auto-renew your subscription every year, so read over the terms carefully and set your account preferences on the site, if possible, to no auto-renew. They also tend to send a lot of junk mail.
You could always do the personal touch - create the card in iPhoto (http://www.apple.com/ilife/print-products.html#letterpress-cards) (it has birthday card presets) and send something unique that way...
...here's an iPhoto card tutorial... (http://cjrtools.org/mac/tutorials/iphoto-greeting-cards.html)

None, in my opinion. I trash all "greeting cards" that I receive email notices for, 95% of them are spam or malware (even the ones that purport to be from someone I know) and I can't be bothered to filter through them for the good ones.
Dust off your Photoshop or Keynote or whatever skills, and make something original you can send as a gif in an email. I have had success with making animated gifs in Imageready as greetings. I made one with pictures of jumping penguins and a couple of sheep - "Hoppy birds day, two ewes."
