Happy Weekend!

Ugh. So as I write this, the government has shut down for the second time in less than a month. (Ed Note: Congress passed a spending bill and reopened the government this morning – but still!) My husband is a federal employee, and these repeated shutdowns are both financially scary and really demoralizing. And sadly, it looks like this might be our new normal for a while. So! If you’re interested in supporting Oh So Beautiful Paper and giving my family a boost during this uncertain time, please consider purchasing one of our limited edition art prints in collaboration with Mon Voir. Shipping is free! But in the meantime…

A philanthropically funded Universal Basic Income experiment in California

This is heartbreaking and completely unacceptable: A mother of two young children (a 1 year old and 4 year old) has been detained by ICE since mid-January, when she went in to apply for citizenship. 

On immigration: “But if you get a specifically merit-based system… I wouldn’t be here, and chances are neither would you.”

Also, over the past decade, refugees have contributed $63 billion more in government revenues than they cost.

 

That’s it for me this week. Have a fantastic weekend and I’ll see you here on Monday! xoxo

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Are we all feeling excited for February? Anything that gets us a little closer to spring, right? I’m heading out of town this weekend for a very quick trip to New York to attend an event with Minted, and I’ll also spend a few hours walking the NYNOW trade show while I’m in town. You can follow along on Instagram (mostly on Instagram Stories) if you want! But in the meantime…

DC friends! If you’re looking for something to do on February 24 – come to the DC Distillers Fest at Longview Gallery! You’ll get to sample more than 60 spirits from 20 distillers, and the lineup looks SO GOOD. 

Has Instagram come full circle? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

I’m all about long cardigans and cozy sweaters this winter. I’m loving this cardigan – and this cozy cable knit sweater comes in the prettiest shade of pink!

Ten Awesome Valentine’s Day Cards!

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away, and love is in the air! Now for me, Valentine’s Day isn’t necessarily about being involved in a romantic relationship; it’s about telling all the people that matter in your life that you love them – from spouses and significant others to family members and dear friends. And if you can bring a smile to their faces by sending them a special card on Valentine’s Day, all the better! Here are a few favorite (and mostly non-sappy) Valentine’s Day cards for sharing the love!

Valentine's Day Card Round Up!

10. Is there anything cuter than hand painted hearts? Love this colorful heart design from Lana’s Shop!

Seasonal Stationery: Halloween Cards

It’s October, which means it’s officially the month of Halloween! Halloween was always one of my favorite holidays as a kid, and now that I have my own children it’s even more fun. I know most of us think about pumpkin decorating ideas and costume ideas before greeting cards, but Halloween cards can be a fun way of sharing the holiday with far-away family or friends. Or, if you have school aged children, grab a few favorite designs for them to exchange with their classmates. Here are a few favorite Halloween cards for you to choose from!
