Sugar Paper LA x Target




It was a lovely surprise to see the new 2017 Sugar Paper LA for Target planner and calendar collection all set up! 

There are lots of new desk accessories this year, like business card holders, memo notes, and a wax seal kit- so fun!  And then there are all of the lovely planner and calendar designs to suit all sorts of tastes.  I'm especially glad that the notebook monthly calendar is back because I love it for birthday reminders and sending out cards.  I'll definitely be back to pick up more planners, haha!

Paper Source - 20% off Sale




I walked by the Paper Source store yesterday, and saw a lovely sign saying that everything was 20% off - so of course I had to keep walking around Bethesda until 12:00PM to check out what I could buy, haha.  As far as I know they very rarely have store wide sales like this, so I'm glad I went in! I looked around for a while and decided on some of these fun little items above.  The "baby seal with ear muffs on an iceberg" stamp was a last minute decision, but I am really glad I got it :o)

November - Thanksgiving Cards




It's November, which means that Thanksgiving is already around the corner.  In the spirit of Thanksgiving and giving thanks, I will be sending a card out every day this month.  This will be a great way for me to stay in touch with my friends (and some "friends" like Shake Shack, Georgetown Cupcake, and Andy Cohen if I can, hahaha), and also actually use some of the massive stock of stationary that I have - so a win/win situation, really.  A lot of people associate Christmas with the time to send cards to others, but I highly encourage everyone to just send cards any time of year!
