New ‘Thank You’ Notes
I have a new “Thank You” note in shop! These are available as singles or sets for all of your occasions requiring some gratitude.
The Best Gifts in Life Are Free
With the economy being as bogus as it has been lately, we need to be resourceful this holiday season. I say - go with the gifts that cost zero dollars! These come as singles or sets (with a convo) in my Etsy shop.
New Holiday Cards - Giveaway!
UPDATE: Congratulations to Carina of Crow and Canary; I’ll be sending some cards your way!!!
I’ve been up all morning doing some serious printing of a few new designs for this holiday season!
To kick off the holiday season, I thought I would do a little giveaway: a set of five of each of my new designs below! To be entered into the giveaway, leave a comment or repost somewhere - just let me know where! I will announce a winner at noon tomorrow, Sunday.

Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like bakery cannibalism.

Etsy Front Page Love
Yay - I always love getting chosen for the front page! Check out Etsy’s love themed picks…
In other PaperMichelle love, I just found this lovely little gocco write-up featuring a couple photos of my domo arigato darling on the weddingbee. Thanks for the shout out!
StudioWisco Love!

Rachel of StudioWisco was kind enough to feature my Bicycle Built for Two card on her fantastic design blog. I’m a big fan of her site, so this was a pleasant surprise on this fine Friday!
It is almost dad’s day.
Remember when it was just Christmas like five minutes ago? Well, tomorrow is Memorial Day and shortly thereafter, Father’s Day. I’ve got just a couple designs…but I think they’re pretty spectacular as far as Father’s Day cards go. lol. My own father will be getting “You Are So Manly” in one of the two colors. I’m so sorry for being totally not-modest, but this card cracks me up.

You Are So Manly (in yellow)
…and you are in luck, it also comes in blue:

And a totally different, specifically Father’s Day card:

BBQ Father’s Day Card
Lets be honest, dads are pretty important guys; they fix things, they teach us how to fish, they scare off potential boyfriends. I speak for myself when I say my dad is the best dad I know. Reciprocate the love to your daddy-dearest.
P.S. Father’s Day is on June 21st of this year. I’m sure you knew that.
Etsy Front Page
I’m really sick today, so it was a nice surprise to see one of my cards on Etsy’s Front Page! Its my first time…and I’m way excited about it. (Middle photo, bottom row…my little Woodland Wedding card!)

I also put together a bright and cheerful treasury tonight…because I’m feeling slightly less than bright or cheerful. Check it out, then send some soup.

everyone loves a birthday
I’ve got a birthday party tonight, so I found myself checking out the vast collection of birthday cards on Etsy. Here are some of my faves. Happy Saturday! XOXO

Doves in Chicago
May 29th - Doves in Chicago (the Vic)…yes, yes, yes! Doves, if you’re not familiar, is a fantastic and highly underrated band from the UK. I vowed to go see them if they ever came within driving distance and thank god, they’re comin’! Looks like they’re out supporting their new release, Kingdom of Rust. Don’t you worry, there will be photos after the show.
I loves it…Catch the Sun
Kingdom of Rust - new, long awaited single!
Maybe one of the best songs you’ll ever hear…Black and White Town
