Christopher is on vacation! That means that I’M in charge until he gets back on Friday (he was gone all last week too)! While the radio may be a little louder and the music playing may be everything that he can’t stand to listen to when he’s here, we’re still cranking out paper goodies at top speed. We’ve gotten to work on a top secret glitter project that was ooooodles of fun, and I’ve had the pleasure of running around like a chicken with my head cut off answering questions, giving pricing, and shipping orders. whew!

Of course, a vacation isn’t really a vacation if you don’t do a little work while you’re away. Betwixt all of the yummy New Mexican foods and margaritas and gourmet tortillas and other things that I’m daydreaming about from afar Christopher has managed to put up a Q and A page on our plantableseedpaper.com website! Every day we get a ton of calls with general questions about our plantable papers and what can be done with them. Hopefully now we’ll have some of these questions answered straight from the site!

AND

If you’re in the neighborhood stop by and check out the great selection of new cards just in from the National Stationery Show! Christopher did some shopping while he was in New York and now our little store has a small cornucopia of paper goodies! INCLUDING some fantastic Father’s day cards.

so what are you waiting for!?! come pay us a visit!

As the exhilarant chords of “The Final Countdown” echo through the mill, I couldn’t help but reflect on the last several months here.

Sadly, today will be the last day for Katherine, one of our papermakers who has been on since the beginning of the Kraft adventure. She is just the first of a few that will be leaving us in the next several weeks. And today, the final day of the papermaking for the largest order in Porridge Papers history, there are mixed feelings of celebration and sadness as we start to say our goodbyes.

Thank goodness we have powerballads and 80′s pop hits to get us through.

Though I can’t promise I won’t cry later.

so what i was offering was 6 different paper choices about 10 designs and either in a panel card or a note sheet format. all letterpressed in quantities of 100 for $60 and 200 for $90. if you wanted envelopes it was an additional $20. have you heard of a deal that good before? some people thought i was crazy and maybe i was! crazy to think that people would want their own stationery. so i thought, maybe i would offer it to the world…or at least those of you that read my blog and visit my etsy site. so it is not up on my etsy site yet, so if you’re interested in it let me know!
