New Giveaway! Paper Party 2014 Tote Bags!

The gift tote bags are always a popular item at my annual Paper Party. I was absolutely thrilled to partner with Zazzle this year – they printed our custom design from Mr. Boddington’s Studio on their eco-friendly 100% cotton tote bags. Oh, and the gift bags were full of lots of great things, too!

  1. I can’t imagine all the goodness in this little bag! Thanks for offering the give-away!!

  6. I am loving all these samples! Paper is so important to me as a graphic designer, I love everything print! It makes my heart bleed that there is such a huge push towards digital and in turn the paper industry is taking a bit of a hit. For me discovering a new type of beautiful paper, or an artfully designed piece of stationery is like opening presents on Christmas morning. I love being able to feel the texture of the paper. Paper can completely transform a piece, and I always take a great deal of time choosing the right type of paper for my design projects. I would love to see everything that is inside these tote bags!!

  9. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure this is the greatest gift bag in all of time. I would LOVE one of these. Thanks for saving five of them 🙂

  19. Wow, this is amazing! Receiving this would be a 1000 times more exciting that a kid opening gifts on Christmas. That would sum up my experience 🙂

  472. You might have just changed my life. I am “paper-fascinated”. These samples are beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

  474. I am late to discovering your blog, but in the last three weeks I have become an avid reader. The photos you post of paper are so gorgeous, but how I would love to actually touch and feel these beautiful products!

  478. What a great idea! I wasn’t able to make it this year and always look forward to the goodies in your awesome gift bags. Thanks for doing this giveaway!

  479. OH MY this is heaven for me! absolutely beautiful collection. great idea!!! 😀

  483. I am in awe at all of the delicious, awesomeness that you experienced and have documented from this year’s NSS! I dream that one day I will be there exhibiting too and will be featured! 🙂

  484. ohmygoodness I just pictured myself looking through every item and lots of “oooohs!”and “ahhhhhhs!” I could find such lovely homes for all of this adorableness.

  487. That would be the perfect present for my birthday! wink wink 🙂 I really enjoy reading your blog when I can. I love paper products and especially letterpressed items. I think we need to go back to a world where we write and send cards to people not just impersonal emails. I always am excited to get a something special in the mail. Bills are not special. Can anyone go to that paper show that you went to? or was it just for bloggers, companies etc… So excited for the give away.

  492. I wish I had made it to NSS this year (I was supposed to debut but life happens… ). Looks like a great time was had by all and hopefully I’ll make it next year!

  494. This would be an absolutely DREAM come true! Keeping my fingers crossed, and one year I hope to make to to the NSS!

  502. Oh my goodness, that tote along with all those goodies look like heaven! *fingers crossed*!!!

  505. absolutely fabulous! wishing and dreaming one of the bag comes home to me…a lovely show and tell for my students! 🙂
