This week's question is:
Do you wear glasses? I do :)

Treasure Thursday - AsspocketProductions *CLOSED*

Some of you know, that I love sending and receiving mail. I have  been searching ways to make my outgoing mail more colorful and different from others. Thanks to Asspocket Productions I don’t have to keep searching anymore.

Meet my new return address stamp and I’m in love with it:

   *Can’t show my address to all of you :) 

Asspocket Productions sells  Bookplates, return address, art, wedding, self inking and holiday stamps also ink, kits and supplies.

So let’s meet Stacey who is the owner of Asspocket Productions!

*Tell me a little bit about yourself.

I am a multimedia artist, natural born teacher and general mess about the house kind of woman. Proud of two grown sons and enjoying the empty nest for the most part.

*How long have you been a stamp and book-plate designer? How and why did you start?  

That is a funny and romantic story, I tell people I found a man on Ebay, and was the shipping ever outrageous! While buying custom stamps for a project I was working on and working with the seller to get just what I wanted we developed a friendship. I traveled 500+ miles to see if that friendship could be more, and so far it has worked very well. I came here in 2006, and learned the stamp biz by osmosis. I opened my own Etsy shop with my own designs in 2007, which has become full time work in addition to handling customer accounts for Amazing Arts.

*Where does your shop name come from?

It's the name of a fictional low budget documentary film crew that was featured in stories that my youngest son and I made up and told each other when he was a child.

*Where do you get your inspiration for the items in your shop?

My boyfriend's puns, Art, customer suggestions, historical bookplates.

*If you had to choose just one favorite item in your shop, what would it be?

Oh that is so hard... Here is one

Treasure Thursday – Baggu Bag Giveaway *CLOSED*

I’m back with my Treasure Thursday giveaways! Today I will introduce you to Baggu Bags.

Baggu is a small team of designers, and entrepreneurs, founded on the principle that good design should be functional, beautiful and affordable. Their goal is to make basic products that fill lots of uses, not just one, so you can own less stuff. They believe in bright colors, high style, quality materials, and economy of use.  

Based on the form of the iconic plastic grocery bag, a Baggu does the same job without harming the environment.  It will replace all of the disposable bags in your life, not just plastic grocery bags. You can use it for a lot of things like clothes shopping, a quick trip to the drug store, takeout food or trips to the flea market. Aside from shopping, Baggus are good for travel, books, the gym, gifts, gift wrap, the beach, the trail, the mountains, the city, the country.

Using one Baggu for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags.

This week's question is:
Do you send out Christmas cards?

Treasure Thursday - Christmas Cards for 2010

I love sending and receiving postcards but for a long time  haven’t sent out any Christmas cards. So this year, I was thinking to start a new tradition in our family of three ( if you include the cat) - I’m planning to send out our first Christmas cards.

I have been searching for some card designs past few weeks and found some great offers on Shutterfly. Just have a look at their new Christmas card collection and choose between folded greeting cards, flat stationery and flat photo cards. They also offer cute Christmas gift tags and party invitations. The hardest part is to select the favorite design because they offer more than 700 different cards.

Here are some of my favorite designs:

I like them because designs are elegant, simple and really festive. That’s how I want my cards to be.

One thing that I really love about Shutterfly is that they have special tarjetas de Navidad for Spanish speaking people too, that’s exactly what I need for my friends here.

  Let me know which designs do you like! :)
