Continue the fight...

Think Pink!
october is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so we're shining a light on the importance of continuing to support the research, detection, and treatment of breast cancer.  women's health is important to us and many of our stay lifted staff members have friends and family who are survivors and who have lost their battle with cancer.  with the help of our customers, staff, and friends, we have donated to several projects and organizations including the EIF Revlon Walk/Run for Cancer, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  we encourage you to stay informed and to support organizations such as these that are dedicated to fighting cancer.

we are proud to say that we have greeting cards and note cards that are designed specifically to promote breast cancer awareness.  during the month of october, we are giving an additional $1.00 to breast cancer research from each of these featured products.  visit our website for details.

Oops! we did again...

NSS 2012 highlights
yes, i did just quote Britney Spears but don't be alarmed...that phrase simply sums up another great event at the National Stationery Show in NY! this year we debuted two new collections, imprintable and printed invitations and wine gift tags from our My 2 Cents collection.  we also showcased dozens of new greeting cards along with a sneak preview of our holiday collection.  we are so thrilled with the response we received and we appreciate everyone who stopped by to see us.


i want to give a special thank you to my wonderful team, Lenora, Anthony, Kayla and Eric. once again, i owe them a BIG thank you for holding things down and for holding me together.  that also goes for our retail partners, vendors, friends and family who didn't make the journey to NY but provided resources, love, support and prayers along the way.  a special shout-out to my amazingly talented NEW friends at Yo Soy Expressions, booth neighbors Clairebella and Foxy Blunt, and of course my OLD booth neighbors who are now friends, J Falkner and Gratitude Designs.  use the links to view their offerings and check out a few pics from the show below.  enjoy!

the boxed notes from the
My 2 Cents collection were a hit!

Going back to Cali...

It's a wrap!
today is the 4th and final day of the National Stationery Show and we've had a blast!  the show ends at noon and we don't have a minute to spare.  after the clock strikes 12, we have to check out of our hotel by 1 PM and our flight leaves at 5.  as i sip my morning coffee and organize my thoughts before the show i'm thinking...are we crazy? whose idea was it to leave a few hours after the show ends??? probably mine.  let's see.  if i coordinate the exit strategy well, then we might be okay.  all we have to do is break down our booth that took two full days to put together in 15 minutes, walk briskly back to the hotel with several booth items in tow (assuming we can't catch a taxi), and finish packing up everything in about 20 minutes before heading to JFK. that's all.  and on that note, here's some advice that we will certainly be using for the next show...spend the night in the city and enjoy the evening after the show.  and don't forget the wine.  a nice glass of vino is the perfect way to end the day!




as always, remember to stay lifted!
