Fun, Fresh Envelopes

I’m super excited about the mother/daughter ladies night I am hosting in a few weeks with my girlfriends from college and our moms.  It’s an annual tradition we’ve been doing since we graduated, and this year, it’s time for me to host.  When I sent out the invites for the party, I opted to mail [...]

‘Tis the Season to GIVE

In our house with two young kids, we’re drowning in stuff - everywhere.  So we spent the past weekend clearing our house of clutter.  Not only do we need to make it easier for our kids to actually find the toys they have, but more importantly, we want to teach them the importance of sharing our good [...]

Happy St. Nicholas Day!

December 6th is the day we celebrate St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children. And the man behind Christmas. To honor St. Nicholas, children all over the country celebrate this wonderful holiday by waking up to find their stocking or shoe filled candy and small presents {for those who are nice} OR coal {for those who [...]

On outsourcing holiday cards

Dear Gentle Readers, 
Lately, RedStamp.com has been garnering quite a bit of press about the widely spread + widely read Associated Press article on outsourcing holiday cards. Some people think it’s the greatest concept they’ve ever heard of…Others are bewildered by why anyone would outsource such a personal task. 
We often compare our send-for-you service to sending flowers. The card you receive with the arrangement [...]

Dreaming of a GREEN Christmas…

Going green is THE thing these days.  At first, I was skeptical of the seemingly trendy push to buy eco-friendly products.  Of course, now I know that it’s not the latest money-making fad, but instead an imperative move to simply make the world livable.  And, even better, we don’t need to give up style to save the [...]

Paper. It’s not just for letters anymore.

I just finished the most interesting article in today’s Wall Street Journal about the return of the Rolodex. The take on the article is that people who use Rolodexes do so primarily to showcase the vast number of contacts they’ve successfully captured in their lifetime. However, I think that for many, Rolodexes are back because the value of paper is still [...]

Let’s Hear It for the Cool Moms

First, thanks to the fabulous women at Cool Mom Picks for highlighting our Santa’s Little Helper Kit for the holidays.   May we all have just as much fun {or more!} explaining how Santa slithers down the chimney as the kids have writing to the big man.

Secondly, another shout out to those Cool Moms for their investigation [...]

Organized Procrastination

My mom is the queen of procrastination.  My dad is the king of it.  I guess that makes me the procrastination princess.  Whatever you call me, I tend to put things off.  But now, I’ve found a way to embrace my delay tendencies and manage them with style and grace.  The Procrastinate File Folder set is the [...]

Capture Those Little Turkeys

As I write, Halloween is now but a memory. {The sugar buzz has come to an end – thankfully.} And Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away!  As a designer and paper fashionista, I must say that I love everything about paper and beautiful “real” mail, but let’s face it, I don’t get to my [...]
