it's a wrap

I am in the full holiday spirit.  The tree is up, most of the presents are bought.  Now I get to revel in the joy of creating pretty packages!

Any gift would be more delicious if presented this way.  Related side note- I just had 4 sliders for lunch and I think my belly button might pop out.  Yum.

Four Calling Birds

Three french hens, two turtle doves... can you tell how jazzed I am about the holiday season?  I can't have a tree of my very own just yet since we're waiting to move into our new home, but I've already purchased our holiday cards care of my employee perks, and plan to have them ready to go this week.

day and night

My favorite city is magic any time of day!

A Year of Work

Today is my 1 year anniversary working at my current job.  If they loved me, I'd get an anniversary card like this one.  Or a cake.  Or a raise...

fleeting footwear

Someone I know won the lottery last month!  $10k a week for life.  If I were set like that I'd start wearing extra ridiculous things like paper shoes.

Presidential pain in the...

I celebrated President's Day by experiencing extra slow holiday schedule trains, including the Q, which wasn't running at all, while the rest of NYC stayed home.  Sigh... at least there were less smelly people crowded up against me when the train finally did arrive.  This isn't typically a gift giving holiday, but if it were, I found the perfect one.

my sentiments exactly

We made each other Valentines this year, but this sums up how I feel about my man.

Winter Nights

Unlike what seems like the rest of the world, I enjoy winter.  It's disappointing that we haven't gotten much snow yet, but there are still aspects of the season I enjoy.  A favorite is the blue light as the sun is setting.  It's so cozy to be snuggling inside enjoying views like this.

Here it is: 2012

2012 was ushered in with a case of champagne, and now it's here, feeling preeeetty much like 2011, but good things are ahead.  Good things at work, good things at home, good things all around.  Positivity to start the new year.

paper tea party

I really can't get enough paper art.  Here's a delectable example.

Monetary Mischeif

This Moneygami puts a funky twist on currency.  Maybe Matt will get some inspiration to add a boat hat to his Lincoln Halloween costume.  That would just be confusing.

52 weeks of yum

This calendar is worthy of abandoning technology.  Food graphics are always so irresistible!

Horray for Friday!

It's going to be a beautiful weekend!  Here are some cheerful paper sculptures in celebration.

To Do

This accurately describes my tasks at hand.  It's also much cuter than my current mode of recording to do lists- on a bunch of post its floating around my purse.

24 little hours

What a difference a day makes!  Somehow the whole mood of the office was different today!  Everything was less urgent and less stressful.  You could almost feel it return to its formerly paper flowered state when all was right with the world.

Black and White and Read all Over

I can't imagine this would be too durable on its own.  It must be treated.  Pretty rad.

Paper Squiggles

I'm such a sucker for these paper curls.  I don't care what it is- I'll love it.  This specimen delights me.

wish you were here

Post cards from vacation sent to make the receiver jealous have nothing on this croissant post card!  Wish I was eating one right now.

Love around the world

Luckily, you don't have to be spending Valentine's Day in Russia to incorporate a little matryoshka into your day.  Etsy has you covered.  Happy Valentine's weekend!
