One of the new items I am launching this season is holiday postcard sets. I had a few requests for postcards last season and had a fun time designing these newest products. Jot a short note and stick on a fun postcard stamp and you are good to go! They are also great to slip under a wrapped gift in lieu of a gift tag. The sets are sold in packs of 8 and you can find them in the holiday shop!

Today the USPS is releasing new holiday stamps! The latest stamps feature geometric snowflakes in different colors.

Well, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I feel like the Christmas seasons is in full swing. All of the houses in my neighborhood are lit up and there seems to be a rush to purchase holiday gifts. The design for my Christmas Icons card, new for this season, grew out of an original drawing I did for a personalized holiday card last year. I love all of the tiny motifs that represent the season. It pairs well with Crate and Barrel's Dip Dyed Ornaments. Crate and Barrel has such a wonderful and fun selection of ornaments this season...I want to scoop them all up! You can shop the Christmas Icons card here.
I have been an avid reader of the magazine Sweet Paul since it first launched a few years ago.
