Sign, Sign Everywhere a You’ve Been Flocked Sign

travism — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:31:16 +0000

Imagine your 50th or 60th birthday morning. You already have enough aches and pains that you probably do not feel like celebrating. You turn on the coffee maker and head out to get the newspaper off the driveway. As soon as you open the front door you get the sense something is up but its early and you do not quite have your multiples together yet. As soon as your left foot steps off the proch it hits you, A sea of pink. Someone has placed 50 pink flamingos accross your front lawn. A neighbor honks as they drive by and you smile numbly and thats when you see the sign, “You’ve Been Flocked “ and now the whole world knows it.

travism — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 18:02:23 +0000

We have got a great new product called a Cut-Mate. It is so cool it is patented and here is why, you can place meat, fish,poultry, hot dogs anything you want on the platter and take it outside and no bugs will get to your food. This is so much more than just a flyproof cover. You take your uncooked food from the Cut-Mate and put it on the fire. When the food is done you flip the cutting board and load it up without fear of germs. Take your food to the table and serve it with the extras remaining covered and free from bugs. You can even carve the food on the cutting board platter. Place Ice in the bottom and you can serve vegetables and cheese chilled to perfection on the hottest of days. Want to steam buns, french bread or hot dogs just place a bit of water in the base and insert the heating element and you will never taste food so good. Did I say that no bugs will get to your food, Wow!!

Think Pink & Help Someone Today

We would like to tell everyone to stop by the Lady Luck Casino in Colorado.

We spoke to a great client there named Terri and she was having wonderful success with a Pink Flamingo Give-away. Clientele would be awarded a pink lawn flamingo after accumulating sufficient points. If anyone would like more info e-mail or call us.

We also received a reorder form Beth Ann in Fountain Valley Ca. She is doing multiple fundraisers and is also doing very well. Beth Ann’s cause is breast cancer and we sincerely hope she reaches her goal.

If anyone has used Pink Flamingos and wants to donate them to a great cause please let us know. We will find a church, a youth group or someone like Beth Ann to make sure the pink flamingos are put to good use. Hopefully you will receive a write-off and we know the plastic flamingos will be put to good use. You can contact me by e-mail or call me at 760-333-5104.

If you have a success story to share or an upcoming fundraiser to post this is a good spot because we get a lot of traffic and any advertising is good advertising.

Pink Flamingo Fundraiser That Works

travism — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 23:01:53 +0000

David Clark of Christian Life is having excellent results with his flocking fundraiser. He has made a video on You Tube to promote the event and here is the link (copy and paste to your browser) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46BXTV4MkKM if you are thinking about having a fundraiser watch the video. It is the first of at least two but shows how building buzz around your fundraiser can have excellent returns. David was extremely well prepared and fortunate enough to require more flocks. David has a unique approach and hopefully he will be able to help others learn successful ideas on how to stage their own Flamingo Flocking fundraisers. We wish him well and if you would like to contact him maybe he will share his approach with you.

Rock Art is Great Garden Decor

Art that lasts a lifetime. Saguaro Cactus are an great choice for garden art. Durable and coated with the most natural of materials these cactus will probably last longer than the house. Starting at $250 and going up to $1000 but well worth them money as you buy it, place it and enjoy it .

These are a big hit in the southwest. Areas like Palm Springs, Phoenix and Tempe. They are very time consumming to make with each requiring up to 30 hours to complete. What do you think? If your are interested in one drop me a line,

Hummers make me sing.

Webmaster — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 04:26:02 +0000

I really like it when the sugar feeders fill up with the little speedsters. Hummingbirds are to me the very coolest bird going. I am an American and I love Eagles but these little speedsters are ounce for ounce the fastest things with wings. I would be remiss if I did not put a few of the feeders we sell on the site up for view but if anyone has any photos they would like to share of hummingbirds I would love to see them.

Hummingbird feeders by “Bird Brain” sold here at www.PatioandGardenDecor.com

Saguaro Cactus made only by me,

Cactus King

PS. If you are a distributer or salesperson who deals with nurseries in the Southwestern United States, and would like info concerning the rock Saguaro Cactus, I now have inventory and pricing - just send me your info .

Plastic Flamingo – Compare Prices

travism — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:18:08 +0000

It is hard to beat the price of the American Yard Flamingos at 5o birds for 89 bucks. The Don Featherstone replicas seem to be the favored flamingo but so many people are strapped for cash that the economical virtues of the American Flamingo win out. Here are photos of each bird side by side for comparison. We carry both and don’t really have a favorite as long as the customer is happy. If you are buying in bulk, our prices are hard to beat.

The American Flamingo pair is on the left. 50 birds for 89.95 or 1.79 each plus shipping

The Featherstone replicas are on the right. 36 birds for 99.95 or 2.78 each plus shipping.

Pink Flamingos, There is no Grey Area

travism — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:42:17 +0000

We have two sites which is not news to most of our readers. One of which deals just with plastic lawn flamingos; the other site primarily sells upscale garden décor and, of course, pink flamingos. I get many calls from people that are putting on Pink Flamingo Flocking Fundraisers, or are just doing their homework before buying the pink birds to see who has the best sale going. I often get the hesitant voice explaining that the purchase is for their kids, or for the children in their school, and I always try to put our clients at ease and tell them that with Pink Flamingo Lawn Ornaments, there is no grey area - either people love them and are proud to display them in their garden, or people pay good money to make sure those birds never arrive on their lawns or to expedite their removal should they show up in the middle of the night. Some folks will even pay extra if the pink birds would please just disappear before the neighbors drive by on their way to work. It is that type of love/hate relationship that makes pink lawn flamingos a lasting American icon and why Flamingo Fundraisers are so popular. HAPPY FLOCKING.
