Small notebooks and journals

Going into an office supply store can make my heart start beating faster.  All of those paper products and pens.  I get so excited about journaling, calendar making, bullet journaling, diary writing and weekly organizing lists.   

The spiral notebooks featured here are 6.50" x 8.75" and are filled with 80 pages of lined paper.

Vintage Santa Photo Journal

The small folded notebook is 5.5" x 3.5" and the interior can be customized to contain blank, lined, grid or checklist paper.

Lists! Oh goodness, I love a good list.  I wish I could cross off as many things on my lists as I can write down.  I have a bullet journal full of lists - a list of the gifts I've sent my nieces, a dinner list (our favorites and those that we forget we love!), cleaning lists, monthly to do list, change the air filter calendar list, movies I want to see, books I want to read, people I want to visit, etc.

Pile of Radiators

The little notebooks and larger notebooks that we have in our shop are great for those grocery lists, random thoughts and whatever else you want to jot down.  The big notebooks are great for staying at home or at the office, but these little ones travel well and can always be within reach.

My phone is a great place to jot down appointments in the calendar app and to keep favorite recipes that have too many ingredients for me to remember (so it will always be with me at the store) but I like writing things down with pen on paper.  

Jesus, Mary and Joseph with Christmas Lights

I remember things so much better if I write them down.  I am forever meeting new people and my memory for names is horrible, so now I keep track of the new folks by writing their names down. I've been doing this for about 4 months now and I have gotten so much better at remembering names! We have a group meeting every week, so I take the same notebook every week and can even go back and see who attended and when was the last time we saw them.  I didn't think it was that important to be able to find out these little details until I had them!  

Marbles on a Striped Background

My weekly calendar book, which is where I've been writing down all this info on our meetings and those who attended, ends in December.  I'm looking forward to picking up a new notebook.  I'm sure I have 4 or 5 empty notebooks somewhere in the house, but I want one of the new ones!  

Paint Brushes Drying in the Sunlight

I may have designed all of these new notebooks with me in mind.  I love them all and honestly I can't decide which ones I want first.  I'm especially excited that I was able to use so many of my original photographs on the covers.

Thanks so much for joining us once again for a little window shopping.  We have more notebooks in the Just For Fun Collection and also in Stocking Stuffers. 

Have a fabulous day!

Christmas Accent Pillows

Accent pillows, occasional pillows, sometimes pillows, seasonal pillows, square pillows, round pillows, and the list goes on and on. Steve and I designed a whole bunch of pillows recently and I have finally gotten the front and back pictures of them.  The square pillows are 16" x 16" and the rectangle pillows are 12" x 16".

Leaping Reindeer 

Mid-Century Modern with Stars and Stripes

We did buy these designs, but it's up to us as to what we do with them and I have been having a blast playing with all of the beautiful patterns.  The retro designs are my favorites, but as I played around with the patterns I found I really started to enjoy the ones that weren't necessarily retro.

Stylized Poinsettia Flowers

Cars with Trees on Top, Polka Dots

I made dishtowels out of nearly every one of these patterns, too, so if you like the pillows, you're going to like the towels, too.  The towels only have one pattern per towel though.

Let it Snow

Yellow Polka Dots and Snowflake Tie-Dye

We had a hundred or more patterns to choose from but I see we both tended to like the stripes and polka dots quite a bit.  The cars with the trees on top - what a hoot!  I loved those.  There is also a day and night scene of a hand drawn town.  We have them on different pillows as I really wanted the backside of the pillow to compliment the front, rather than be the opposite.

City Street with Gold Stars, Striped Blue

City Street light Background, Green Ombre

Another one of the design patterns we were fortunate to find were the watercolor winter scenes.  They also made for some gorgeous pillows that won't necessarily have to be put away as soon as the New Year rings in.

Winter Scene 1 (front&back)

Winter Scene 2 (front&back)

Winter Scene 3 (front&back)

Winter Scene 4 (front&back)

If there is a pillow combination that you would like and we don't have it, please let us know and we'll make it up for you.

Have a wonderful, fabulous day!

Christmas Tees and Shirts

The ugly Christmas sweater has become a joke of sorts, but ... I've always loved the corny shirts and sweaters with sewn on stars and snowflakes, a reindeer or two and a snowman!  There are so few times of the year that a person can dress up in theme gear and do it again and again for nearly a month.

Merry Christmas Snowman 

Santa Hat Cat

When I lived in Michigan I had a dozen Christmas themed sweaters.  I would layer them over a mock turtleneck and head out into the world.  I may have had people laughing at me, but I didn't care.  If I can make someone laugh then it's been a fantastic day!

Merry Christmas

Snowman and Snowflakes Baby Romper

Our tees aren't the way-too-gaudy type, but they are fun and festive!  They have a good theme going on without having everyone in the office or on the street laughing at you.  Steve created our version of a Christmas grumpy cat and I just love him.  We've got him on a mug at our house and we keep it out all year.

If you'd like to use our shirts as the beginning of a Christmas project, go right ahead - glue and applique to your hearts delight!  We had a lot of fun putting this all together.  Don't forget you can order any of our designs on over a hundred styles.  Zazzle has long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, all kinds of warm stuff as well as t-shirts.  This is just one of the many benefits of Print-on-Demand.  We don't have to stock 110 styles of shirts!

Tote Bags - two sided design

Merry Christmas with Candy Drops

Tote Bags

The tote featured today is a medium sized bag 16" tall x 16" wide. The strap is a real nice 28"long and it's made in the USA.

Say YES to Organ Donation

We've got a whole new assortment of these bags that are just in time for Christmas.  Some of the designs are Christmas inspired and others are donor awareness inspired.  I've only put one photo on the bags, so far, and that's the one at the top - the candy dots. They are so festive!  Any of these would make a nice gift for yourself or others.

Merry Christmas Santa with Snowflakes

One of the best things about these bags is that they are two sided. The cutie watercolor snowman was so much fun that I made 4 different bags with him on it.

This link will take you to the whole section where you can view all of the totes and these snowmen below.

Have a great day!

Sales and Print-on-Demand information

This blog will, at some point, turn into something that will be a little more chatty and a lot less product intense, I promise.  However, there are only a few ways to promote an online business and with it being the middle of November we are in a rush.  A blog really helps get our products and name out into the Universe and I am so excited about some of the new items we have designed.  I hope that the items we show you are fun and may even help pick out some items for your home or as gifts.

Vintage Santa 2" Magnet

Check Yes to Save Lives!

Circle of Friends 2" Magnet

Zazzle is our production point because it's Print-on-Demand and that means we can design hundreds of products and not have to maintain an inventory.  However, since it's Print-on-Demand, it can seem to be expensive.  My recommendation for that is to sign up for the Zazzle emails and you will be informed of the sales.  They have a sale on something or an overall sale every day.

Santa and Mrs. Claus Pewter Ornament

 Transplant Caregiver Ceramic Ornament

Today through 11:59 Pacific Time on November 15th (Tuesday) HOLDIAYCHEER is the discount code for a ton of items.  Since it's Christmas shopping season, they have more items on sale than I'm used to - but that's great for you!   But don't worry, if you miss this sale, like I said, there will be another.

Cat in a Strange Land Paper Plates

Palm Trees with Mountains Paper Plates

Cat in a Strange Land Napkins

Steve and I get paid by selling our products, but we get paid more if we are the referring party.  If there is no referring party then that money goes to Zazzle.  I guess that's good, it helps keep the sale prices coming, but we would love to have someone get that referral money.  We laugh that we make about 25 cents an hour, but in just selling our designs, that's about the truth!  I have to tell you, we cheer every single time we get a sale.  It's thrilling to have someone like what we do!  Thank you!
