Paperlicious is Delicious

I am impressed. I ordered the image above to try from Paperlicious. It arrived packaged neatly and well protected. Once opened the stationary was packed in a neat clear plastic box and included the note cards and envelopes. The envelopes included my return address which isn't always available these days. These would make great gifts for a teacher, neighbor, house warming present, for a new mom and many more. While I like the idea of sending hand written notes of encouragement or thank yous, I can't say I am good at remembering to do so. Now, I have less of an excuse with these cute notes in hand!

They have a lot of designs to choose as well as products but if you'd like to give them a try here is a current deal I don't think you can pass up:

Tea Bag Folding

Have you heard of tea bag folding? This craft seems to be becoming very popular. There are many websites with free instructions on how to fold. There are others that offer free printable patterns for you to use. One I found is very interesting in that it is a kaleidoscope generator that you can control and then save your image and print out for your own tea bag folding. You can see it here.  http://www.masikatiwebdesign.com/teabags/kaleidoscopes.asp

The PocketMod

This is a really cool find. The PocketMod.

The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner.

The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It's best that you just dive in and create one. Build a PocketMod now!

It’s changeable and it’s free.
