that now being organized is even more fun.

I've been using the FlipOver books for over a year now- and I knew it was time for a version that's a little less serious...

So here you go- I just added the blue/green FlipOver2 to the FlipOver Planning collection. Each booklet will hook to any of the other FlipOver books so that you can make your own planning awesomeness.

NEW THINGS - Each book has a unique color print on the inside. The monthly planning books now each contain two months of planning instead of one (so you don't have to change out as often.) Everything else is just prettier and more blue!

Now here's a mess of eye candy.

I'm so updated.

I just added a bunch of new gallery images, and a feature on the Delicious Recipe sets.

Hope you enjoy!

it's the Holidays again!

It's the holidays again, and I have some swell cards in the shop that would be perfect to send to all your people.

This is one of the brand new designs, designed cause cardinals are awesome, and I miss them like crazy.

These warm wishes were printed on thick soft paper, handmade in my studio from bits of scrap paper. I absolutely love the texture of the paper, and the way it prints and folds. (Expect more handmade paper cards in the shop!)





Still one of my all-time favorites, I have to admit I prefer the version with the honest sentiment on the inside ("Hope you survive.")



This year I revisited the Joy in Plaid card with cool green and blue ink.

I'm sure one of these would suit you just fine. I'm gonna be sending out millions!

Be Happy and Keep Warm!!

This is the best Recipe Book- and I am very modest.

No really, I am!

But seriously, I am really excited with how these turned out. The Adobe Reader templates make it easy to make all of your recipes beautiful-- and how great is it to print them out for everyone to see? (Gift for family, check.)

I am going to put up more information and photos on andsothere.com. I hope that everyone will share a recipe or two.

In addition to the springy blues and greens, I designed one in autumn squash colors.

Each book has two options- one with a convenient USB Flash Drive to store all you best recipes, and one without. To buy one for yourself or someone awesome, visit the recipe section of my etsy store, (so there.)

I can't wait to put one together for myself!

Here's a sneak peak at what I've been pouring over (no pun intended.)

and there are some new ways to say...

Along with the FlipOver agendas, I have added some new cards to the shop. So now there are a few new ways to say...

I'm super glad you were born.

It's your day; don't let anyone tell you differently.

You're super special, and I like that.

(PS- This card is super special too. The paper for the card was made by my two hands out of junk mail and other saved packing paper. It's 100% post consumer.)

I hope you like them. I'm going to be making some notecards out of more handmade paper- this time it has wildflower seeds!

and now you can get organized

I'm gonna go ahead and admit I designed the FlipOver planner for myself. I added some features for the rest of you, and I think it's awesome.

I've included all the real details on a feature page on the (so, there.) website. They're available for purchase on my etsy shop now.
But here's some bonus information for you- I've been using these planners for months now (in various forms) and they're super durable and usable. I've started using the blank book instead of my usual moleskine, and so I have everything in one neat bundle. I've started a bunch of lists in the Notes book- a list of mending that needs to be done, for example.

Basically, I'm proud of them and I like using them, I'm sure you would too.

Also, here's a big bonus- Buying these booklets means that as you use them you can let me know what would make them work better for you. Beat that!

If you want to buy more than one type of book, let me know and I'll put together a custom package for you.

and guess what time it is.

I'll give you a hint...

It's time to send out some Valentines.

(isn't that packing tape perfect?)

Another new addition to the store!

and here come the Holidays...

I've finally got my first holiday card design up on the (so, there.) etsy shop. Go take a look.

PS- don't be scared, I know it's awful serious... I made a twisted version-- you'll see it soon.

and here are a few new colors.

A few more flowery color combinations are up on the (so, there.) etsy shop. They are the result of special requests, I hope you like them too!

Look! a set of five for thanking tons of people.

I am not usually a yellow person, but these sunny colors make me want a lemonade and a hammock.

I've added a couple of "thinking of you" cards to the flowery group. The yellow is perfect for wishing someone a quick recovery.

of people who remember birthdays with cards.

I am seldom one of them. Isn't that horrible? Hopefully having a stash of great "Happy (Martha*) Day" cards will help me in the future. You should get your own stash.

The cards come blank, then you get to personalize them. Like this...
Isn't that special? You get to choose pink or blue, and don't forget I'm happy to do a special color for you!
That's the end of the new designs for right now. Hope you liked them! (let me know.)


*example of a super great person I forgot to send a card to. Happy Martha Day!

and there are more cards today!

Hi again! Here are the new designs I listed on the (so, there.) etsy shop today. Click on the photos to go to each listing and see the clever things I had to say. (*cough cough*)

because I Give a Hoot

Spring is definitely in the air, and in my new card designs.

First there is the blue-green combination of my owly card, "Because I Give a Hoot." Perfect for anyone, or anything you care about. (Shop for it here.)

Then there's a sweet little pink blossom thank-you that was much inspired by all of the beautiful blooming fruit trees. (Including the apple tree right outside the door.)

The last card (today) is for that occasion when you know that words are not enough. (Find it here.)

There are a few more designs, and more color combinations coming... just you wait and see.

& Happy Birthday!

Here's a sneak peak of my new (so, there.) design. It's printed with vintage wood type, that you can see at the back of this photo.

It was super fun to figure out how to make the letters overlap just right, and the texture of the paper and woodtype just works great!

A good friend recently told me that I needed to describe the paper better, but I just can't figure out how to put it into words! The Cotton Lettra has a thick, plush, almost velvety surface.

This purple and blue card is already on the (so, there.) shop. Get it while it lasts!

I will put up the other color option soon, so keep looking if you're in love with one of these.

If you're interested, here's a couple of pictures of what the woodtype looks like, all clamped together. I cropped it in so you can't see all of the typesetting rules I'm breaking.
