National Lasagna Day

Did you know today is National Lasagna Day? I have heard it is, though a quick search online doesn't tell me how this "holiday" began, and I guess we need to celebrate!
Here are some recipe ideas:

Airplanes!!!

In honor of my oldest Little Lamb's first time on an airplane tomorrow (we're having a special mommy/son trip before he heads off to 1st grade...sniff, sniff!), here are some of my favorite airplane invitations and stationery. Fly on over and get some on order!

10 Ways to Make Your Stationery Store Obsolete

I came across this awesome article for gift shop and stationery store owners. VERY good advice from Holly Bretschneider who owns Salutations.   http://bit.ly/a98w95

Introducing Etipedia: Online Etiquette Encyclopedia by Emily Post Institute

Since I am supposed to be a stationery "expert" because of the line of work I do, I get asked lots and lots of questions about etiquette, especially about invitation wording, time frame of when you mail an invitation, etc.  I was SO excited when I received a notice from The Emily Post Institute^® introducing the world's first and only online etiquette encyclopedia.  If you ever have a question in this department, this is your go-to! It is amazing! You can type in anything and the folks at Emily's will give you the proper answer.
I have been a huge fan of Emily Post, et.al. for as long as I can remember. I am such a dork that I asked for and received Emily Post's Etiquette, a HUGE book that I kept on my coffee table for years and years (until one of my Little Lambs drew in it, it is now put away for a while!) Check out this link to receive your day's dose of properness.http://www.emilypost.com/etipedia

Hello! We're back!

Oh my goodness, how can it be that I have not posted to this blog in 2 months!?! SO sorry to all my legions of followers ;) Hahaha! You will notice the last post was from the National Stationery Show. My, my what a world wind it has been since we returned from the show. We added so many new dealers who now have our albums in their store or our products on their website.  What a blessing the show was to us and we are so excited to be working with our new dealers as well as the ones we've had since the beginning.  Ok, I am going to promise to try to update this blog way more often that I have been (although we are right in the middle of summer which is a busy time in my house! Forgive me if I don't keep my word as I unsuccessfully attempt to herd my Little Lambs).

In the mean time...please enjoy looking at some of our new holiday and wedding designs.
