oh joy. it’s valentine’s day. wait, did you catch that sarcasm? the other day i saw a couple of friends sitting outside of the coffee shop near work and i said how busy i was going to be since it’s leading up to the hallmark holiday. and i, of course, threw in a snarky “yeah, valentine’s day” {maybe using a little ben stein way-of-saying-things}. one of them turned to me and he said, “bitter?”…
i’m not bitter. not really. i truly am a romantic. i believe in love. i, like many of us, have been hurt by those we trust and care for and whom we thought felt the same for us. but it’s alright. it isn’t the reason i dislike the “holiday”. it’s because…
that’s right. i don’t need a specific day to share my feelings and show how much you all mean to me. hope you’ll have a happy valentine’s day no matter how you feel about it. in fact, just have a happy monday!

being able to personalize something for someone is one of my favorite things while getting crafty. over the holidays i purchased a couple of stamps to help spruce up my wrapping. i think these office rubber stamps are great way to add a little fun and personality to your notes, memos, handwritten letters, etc…

as a kid i remember going to stores and seeing grab bags. sometimes it was at a snack shop {or crack seed store, in hawai’i}. of course, i recall going to windward mall by my house and always wanting to visit a store called special dreams. it was basically a place filled with sanrio goodies…and, i just wanted to buy lots of pens, pencils, erasers and candy from there. but they had grab bags. what would be in those bags? it was a mystery. but that’s part of the appeal, isn’t it? so when sandy mentioned that she and matthew were working on some gocco grab bags, i was pretty excited and began to reminisce of those childhood days…
these home-sewn drawstring bags by treatzone have a vintage bike screenprinted on the front. inside each bag will contain other gocco treats like a print, notecard set, and a pocket notebook. and at just $16.00 it’s a total steal {remember, you get a nifty new bag, too!}.
