Lettergirl

More from the shop: gifts.

Two of my favorite gift stamps are now back in the shop:

Elizabeth Bookplate Stamp

Name Stamp

Both are handwritten and available in self-inking and red rubber.  I love to give the name stamps for baby gifts!

"Handmade by..." stamps: new in the shop!

I'm adding new items to my shop all week, including these stamps that let you sign your own handmade creations with a finely crafted red rubber stamp:

Banner stamp

Box stamp

Bracket stamp

And don't forget to leave a comment on yesterday's post to enter the giveaway.  Ends Friday!

New in the shop + a giveaway!

My shop will be reopening later this morning with new address stamp designs, like Becka:

Hannah:

and Mirabel:

Enter today's giveaway to win your choice of any stamp in my shop.  (I'll share more new offerings each day this week.)  Just leave a comment on this post telling me what you're either reading or making right now.  I'll draw the winner randomly on Friday morning.  Good luck!

Four love pillows.

I've been enjoying creating designs for fabric so much that I finally decided it was time to enter one of Spoonflower's weekly contests.  Luckily for me, the theme this week is Love Letters.  I'd be so grateful if you'd take a peek at the contest -- there are many darling designs to make it worth your while.  (And you can vote for as many as you like!)  Vote here.  (You may have to scroll through multiple pages as the images are loaded randomly.  Look for the image above.)  And thank you!

Resolutions and such.

About two weeks ago I started a post on my typical workday for January.  And there it sits in my notebook, all lonely and forgotten.  Well, not really forgotten -- more like whining: Remember me?  I will get back to it.  I will.

Meanwhile, here are a few things that have inspired me this month:

New Year's Resolutions, handwritten!

list it tuesday at Artsyville, because I love lists (and Artsyville!)

The Reconstructionists, part history lesson/part glorious art/part feminist groove thang

Happy Wednesday.  And if you've seen anything inspiring you'd like to share, please leave me a note in the comments.  I'm slogging through some bookkeeping this morning (which I really don't mind, it's just that I'm so far behind) and wouldn't mind a little something to look forward to at lunch.

To be (dis)continued.

Three designs have been in my shop from the very beginning:

Rachel

Ursula

Katie

These three have been around so long they're practically old friends.  But it's time to make room for new designs (and fresh new photos), and so I'm retiring these three when lettergirl closes for winter break on February 4th.  

Holiday spirit.

Handlettered gift labels for a customer in Missouri -- love how these turned out!

2013 Calendar: fits Project Life!

My 2013 Handwritten Quotation Calendar has all new quotes, four bright colors, and a twist:  at the end of the month, just cut the cards in half and they will fit in a Project Life sleeve!

If you don't keep a scrapbook, they make pretty sweet postcards too.

Shipping begins next Monday, November 26th.  And I made a limited batch -- wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Quote of the Month Club: A Year of Gratitude.

For 2013, I've added a theme to my Quote of the Month Club:  I'm calling it A Year of Gratitude.  Look for 12 handlettered quotations about gratitude, blessings, thankfulness. 

With the Quote of the Month Club, you'll get one quotation mailed to you each month in 2013.  Each 4x6 card is embellished by hand with watercolor, glitter, stenciling, or paper collage. 

This week I heard from Katie, a customer who gave this as a gift to her mother-in-law last Christmas, along with a 4x6 frame.  Every time Katie goes to visit, she gets to see that month's quote in the frame.  I love stories like that!

And...free shipping for the first ten orders!
