hi there! so one of the projects i’ve been working on over the last couple of months has been a really fun one. it’s something that has been on my mind for quite some time now. if you really wanna get technical this stuff has been on my mind since the 90′s. i’ve opened up a shop of rubber stamps that i designed based on my love of music from back in the day. check it…
you know you totally need these, right? all of the stamps are designed by me and made to order in the usa. they’re all inspired by hip-hop and r&b song titles, lyrics and other things related to those genres. primarily i am focused on the 90′s. however, i’m thinking that i may dip back to the 80′s and then closer to the early 2000′s. these are great for cards, gift tags, creating your own custom wrapping paper, scrapbooking, and really just any other surface that you feel could use some awesomeness. they make great gifts or a fun treat for yourself. i hope you love the stamps as much as i do!
ps – get 15% off with code “GRANDOPEN15” in the shop. the code is also offered on my facebook page. be a fan and share this with your friends. coupon code is good through monday, june 10, 2013 {expires at 12:00et}.
do you have return address stickers/labels that you use on your mail? i remember always printing them up for my family when i was a kid {avery labels to the rescue!}. or we would always get them ordered by the roll and they’d arrive in our mailbox {weren’t there always coupons in the sunday papers for them?}. because i’m a big believer in handwritten notes, i am obsessed with custom return address stamps. i don’t have one and have been thinking about it but get stuck because there are so many great artists who offer this product. i’m currently loving these by native bear…
because i can never post too many things that feature animals in the same day, right? yeah. love this zoo crew set over at tattly. you know, in case you don’t wanna commit…
saturday was such a pretty day here in the city. i decided to head on over to the mission to check out photojojo’s super secret store. that’s right. while i’m a fan of their site, i wanted to get in there and have a hands-on experience with what they offer. and i didn’t want to leave!
i loved all of the little signs leading up to the shop…
haha…
hooray!!!
and inside…
so many things to look at…
i wanted to stealborrow admire this little guy and the box of masks and goodies next to it…
and i thought this sign above their checkout desk was pretty cute…
have you been to their site or their super secret store yet? you should. there are so, so many fun things for all of your photographing needs and desires. there are tons of toys for your iphone, too. i picked up this keychain iphone charger and a tiltpod mobile. the crew there is really nice and helpful and encourage you to play with things to see if it’s what you’re looking for.
ps – sign up for their newsletter for fun photo tips!

when i opened up the latest email from photojojo i may have jumped a little with excitement. they introduced the new polaroid z2300 and it is a bunch of fun just waiting to happen! it’s a digital camera that produces color prints with a sticky back…instant magic! an added bonus is that it’s point and shoot sized so that you can take it with you wherever you go.
i have been meaning to learn how to sew for some time now. in fact, i even signed up for an online class last year and borrowed a sewing machine from a friend and bought fun supplies. i’m embarrassed to say that i have yet to make use of the machine or any of the fabric i purchased. but if unlike me you are able to sew, check out suzie’s first pattern that was made with the beginner in mind…
i spotted this birthday rubber stamp by scout’s honor co., thanks to margaret of paper pastries. i am now obsessed with it and must place my order for it. the stamp was created from original hand-lettering by annemarie {of scout’s honor co.}. i enjoy wrapping little gifts and almost never buy gift wrap anymore. i prefer, and always have on hand, a roll of brown kraft paper or even white rice paper for gift-giving. so, much like margaret, i am thinking that this is what i’d love to use this stamp for. the lettering is like a perfect font i wish i had loaded on my laptop…
