A Little More Purpose Than Paper

Most of you know that we have this little business to help others as well as earn a little $$ on the side. Well I LOVE reading this blog called Kisses For Katie and all she does for the Lord in Uganda (I know lots of you know this blog already- and if you don't, set aside a few hours of time to read about her work and your life will be changed!). I was reading her most recent post tonight and I knew that I was supposed to share this all with you! The post describes this group of women living in desperate poverty, who instead of sending their children to beg or digging through the trash, are now making necklaces and selling them to provide for their families. What a picture of the body of Christ, not only sharing the Lord with these women, but teaching them a trade to lift their families out of desperation.
"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor!" 1 Samuel 2:8
I just couldn't think of a better Mother's Day gift than to purchase these necklaces at a mere $18 at 147millionorphans.com and help feed children in Uganda and support these beautiful women doing God's work in an amazing way. For a much better description of these women and the Ugandan Magazine Beads, read here.

Teacher gifts? Mother's Day gifts? Graduation gifts? Ahhh!!!

It's that crazy time of year and if you are as busy as we are, all of these gifts have snuck up on us! Do you have your teacher gifts? Mother's Day? Graduation?  We can be your one stop shop my friends...
So here are some great gift ideas, shop away! And as always, email or call us with any questions.


Paper Menu notecards and calling cards are buy 2, get 1 free through April 30. So that is 3 sets of different notecards for $50, less than $20 a gift! Great designs for Mom, teachers & high school girls love these (trust us, we both gave them last year)! Tons of designs available.



PSA Essentials return address stamps are still a great gift! They now have interchangeable middle pieces, so you can order different "middles" of the stamp for different seasons and your outside address remains the same! $45 for a stamp, $65 for an embosser (this includes shipping).


GREAT overnight bags by Two's Company ON SALE!! These are the best weekend bags that last forever. I've had mine for 4 years and use it all the time! They retail for $56, but for the gift season, we have them right now for $36! Snatch one up while they are still in stock. Great to take to college or for Mom and Mother-in-Law (and send her on a weekend trip while you are at it... I know our mom needs it, as much as she keeps our kids!)


A precious and super original gift for mom are these silhouettes designed by Emily O. Holmes. Send her a picture of your kiddos and she will create the silhouette, print a 5x5 or 5x7 and off you go to the framers! And then use the silhouette anytime you want for other fun things such as calling cards, birthday party invites and notecards. $25 per child to create silhouette and the first print is free! And only $1.25 for each additional card. So if you want to use them as greeting cards or get several as gifts, go right ahead! You can even use it again for your Christmas card! She will customize any color, saying, background, etc..



Little Lamb Design has the cutest gift set for only $35! Comes with your choice of either 25 water proof labels (great for college shower stuff) or return address labels, PLUS, 1 bag tag, 5 notecards and 10 calling cards. Each set can be designed in any design you wish (same design required for entire set).
Want a good $10 gift? Check out these super cute return address labels by Cherry Hill Designs. More designs available.

And last but not least..the BEST graduation gift....and a pretty great Father's Day gift as well! A Tervis Tumbler 24 oz cup. They are so great, they fit in the cupholder of your car! You can personalize them with their college on one side and name on the other, or monogram, or just about anything you want! A great $20 gift with a name/monogram and $18 for a college logo cup! The price includes a straw and lid.

Have you checked out these fabulous designs?



We picked up this line over Christmas from a friend of mine in Nashville. So if you haven't seen her stuff, you are in for a treat! My favorites are the silhouette calling cards. We did those for Christmas gift tags and they are SO CUTE! And once she creates the silhouette, you can use it on anything... birthday party invites, calling cards, thank you notes, etc...

And she also does some work at the most fabulous stationery store in the world called The Dotted Line in Nashville. If you are ever in Nashville, it's a place you must stop by. If Dana and I ever open a store one day, this is what it will look like! So check Emily O. Holmes out here. And she really loves to customize, so if you can't find what are looking for, give us a call and she'll create something really great!
