Pretties

A few recent favorites:

pilot

Pilot Liquid Ink Pens ... I used to be able to find these at Office Depot. Now, I can only find them on Jet Pens website. Love these for scrapbooking. They write like a ballpoint but are acid free.

crystal

I love all these banners that I see everywhere now. Apparently this is the latest in decorating and scrapbooking and I love how something so simple can be so versatile. I'm thinking that I need to make me a few notecards and notesheets with some banners across the top. These are from Crystal Wilkerson's latest kit releases here.

washitape

I think this Japanese tape is so fun! I have a couple rolls of it, and it's pretty addictive to use. The tape above is from this etsy shop.

I have mentioned before how much I love Crystal Wilkerson's digital designs. She has made a few some digital scrapbooking elements and kits to help a friend who's daughter was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. For as little as a dollar (although you can definitely give more!) you can visit the blog of One Happy Mama and download some of Crystal's handiwork and help a family.

keurig

My Dad bought us a Keurig coffee maker as a "new house goodie" and I am a little smitten with it. The machine and I have a standing date around 3:30 in the afternoon when I'm in a serious slump in focus and energy and I don't see us splitting up anytime soon. : ) Totally not something that was a need, but we have thoroughly enjoy it. Thanks, Dad. : )

  3. We loved our Keurig, too, but if it ever goes out, try the Cuisinart...it's faster and just a bit better. Our faves so far? Kona, Newman's Own Organic, Caribou and the Earl Grey Tea!

  5. My dad had a Keurig (and my sister has it now!) and man, I wish it was mine. Lucky!

    I have a pen fetish, S. LOVE them. I'll have to take a pic of my favorite one and send it to you sometime. I just discovered it and am completely head over heels.

    Hope you're well. I've been commenting less and less these days but I love your new home. So pretty...and so glad you have sidewalks! That's one of the BEST things for kids/bikes/skates/scooters!

  6. Splurge gifts are always fun to receive! I'm not a coffee drinker but I have a date about that same time every day with a cup of tea. :)
