Pretty Paper and Coffee: April 2014

So I decided to start a new blog on a whim, a blog dedicated to my love of stationery (and let's not forget the all important coffee, with whom I co-exist on a daily basis). To clarify, I have two small children and that alone should explain at least the necessity that is coffee...but I do also love it, it gets me through the day.

I plan to come here and share bits and pieces in regards to my penpal adventures (it truly is so much fun, I really enjoy it). I haven't been a penpal for all that long but it really is a great way of meeting some truly amazing people from all over the world and making real connections. Plus it opened up a whole new world creatively, I have Instagram to thank for that (what an awesome community you get on there). I attribute it with my new found love of snail mail and everything that entails.

I have always been a lover of stationery ever since I was a child, but now I am slightly obsessed with it. There are some crazy talented people out there, I am inspired by them every day. I hope to one day be the one inspiring others. For now I just want to bring a smile to your face and a bit of happy to your day. I don't take myself too seriously and I love to laugh.

I also want to share the things that I love, old and new. Things I create that I think might be of interest or just a bit cute. I am a sucker for all things kawaii, washi tape (a recent discovery and now addiction), kraft paper, baker's twine, neon...basically a never ending list of all things stationery.

I hope you enjoy my little slice of heaven and the interwebs ;)

Here's a little taste of what's to come
