Inspiration + Update + Sneak Peek + Giveaway!!

Inspiration
First, since the new year is almost here, I wanted to share this awesome project for 2009 that Sylvia is working on, called: 2009 - a Year on the Balcony!

She is planning on taking a few pictures each month of their balcony, changing through the seasons. She'll also be tracking plants she planted and so on, kind of like a garden journal! How fun would this be to have to look back on? I love it how she used our calendar tags for the divider tabs, too! Great job!!

Website Update:
Well... I don't know if I should cry or puke right now... it appears our web site domain name didn't get renewed. Our website guys were supposed to be keeping track of it for us, but somehow it didn't happen. Now, I am in the process of fighting to get it back, not fun! Our physical website remains unharmed and untouched, just our domain name was taken :( I am so sad right now!! I'll know more by 3:00 pm today so please keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer!!

Sneak peek:
Our newsletter with the sneak peek went out on Saturday night - but then when our website went down the photos in the newsletter wouldn't load so everyone got a blank one :( I am so sorry about this!! We usually give our newsletter subscribers first peak at the new items, but since it looks like it could be a couple of days, I thought I'd post the sneak peek here :)

Here are some of the new items that will be launching soon:


And, something I'm really, REALLY excited to share with you...

We are going to be doing stamps for 2009!! WOOHOO!! This is something I've wanted to do for quite awhile, but trying to find an USA manufacturer was a bit harder than I thought it would be! So, in November we found one and sent our designs off and they are fabulous! I hope you enjoy them as much as we are :)

The other new product is called "Cut Outs" - these are journaling tags that you will be able to cut out of the paper. This cuts costs on our end and so we are passing the savings on to you!

I can't wait to share more photos with you! We were planning on launching all the new items on January 3rd, but that date is currently tentative since we are up in the air about the website. So, in the meantime we'll do a giveaway!! Just leave a comment below or email us to be entered! The giveaway will be a surprise, but definitely something from the new items :)

Love you all!
XO, Elle
