So close now!
Happy Friday all!
The last few weeks have been so exciting! The beta site is being reviewed, the ready-to-order line samples are being letterpressed and the packaging for the collection is being delivered! The launch is just a few weeks away now and I’m so giddy with excitement. The past year has been such an joy to work through the blood, sweat and tears. I can’t wait to share the results with you all!
I’m most excited for the unveiling of the ready-to-order line. This will be available to order through the new website, or by visiting the studio where you will be able to view each of the 24 collections and touch and feel the papers and see the marvelous colors. However, don’t fret if you aren’t local. You will be able to order sample packages so you can have the same touch/feel experience from afar!
Right now, you have a chance to win a $500.00 gift certificate to the new line by running in the I-Do Dash, put on by the New York Wedding Boutique. But don’t worry. You don’t have to be engaged to run, everyone is welcome! Plus, the bonus is that all prizes are transferable, so get your friends to run and maybe they will win for you!
So, keep your eyes peeled for a launch date, ‘like’ us on Facebook and sign up for our newsletter for updates and exclusive previews. There will also be details coming soon for a launch party to introduce the new line of stationery and so you can all celebrate with us!
Have a fabulous weekend and stay safe with the storm.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! What a terrific 2010 it was, but you know, that 2011 can only get better, right?
With that in mind, I added a tad of my favorite inspiration, Mr. Ralph Marston to this month’s desktop. Enjoy and I hope you all have a marvelous New Year and may all good things come your way.

Art on Lark: 2010
It is definitely summer in the Albany, NY area when you can venture to Lark Street for the one day each summer and experience the sounds of great music, delicious food, but most of all amazing creations by some of the area’s local art talent! From paintings and photography to sculpture and jewelry, there was something for everyone.
My husband and i ventured out on Saturday on our way to the lake to support the fun and also to support my friend Tara, creative mind behind of Tiane Novati Modiste. You might remember the giveaway she sponsored back in March? Well, she has grown leaps and bounds and had a gorgeous booth this past Saturday at Art on Lark. I nearly walked away with one of each! She designs the most gorgeous handmade accessories including belts, pins, headbands, and more. I love her dearly and admire her creativity and talent! I just know that one day she will be such a success! So next year, if you are in the area be sure to check this event out.
Here are a few photos from the day at her booth. Tara and I and photos of her goodies. It was so hot on Saturday so my husband and I were trying to make it to the lake for a swim, but it ended up raining later that day.
it’s a cupcake social
It’s no secret I’m not a huge fan of cake. I don’t know why, I just never have been. However, I have a sweet tooth and i do enjoy cupcakes and cookies. Well, I am very excited that I have been able to set up a sleepover weekend with Ellie, my 7 year old niece. (She is the inspiration behind my Ellie bird illustrations). I’m am just so darn excited. She loves to cook and “do art.” She told my sister…(and i quote) “I need to spend 2 nights at Aunt Rebecca’s and Uncle Chris’s because we get up very early to do art.” Well… 2 nights it is! I have been planning all of our art projects, but also cooking projects. She does love to cook too. So when I was reading one of my daily blog reads, i found Cupcake Social on Etsy and i think i’m going to order some for our weekend extravaganza.
