pen(cil).

Check out my new pen(cil)! I bought this at pylones in Paris. I love that it looks like a pencil but is actually a pen. It writes nice and smooth too!

self-inking cat stamp.

It is a fact that I am a crazy cat lady. I have two precious little furr babies, Elliott and Tony. So needless to say I love anything with cats on it. The other day I was shopping at Urban Outfitters and spotted an adorable self-inking cat stamp! I knew I had to have it!

Isn't it the cutest? I have been stamping all of my letters and random papers around the house with it!

I stamped this sheet to write someone on. How can this not make you smile!

p.s. If you are a crazy cat lady like me and need this stamp, get it here!

secret message pen.

I think these secret message pens are super fun!

A few of my penpals and I each have a set so we can write secret messages to each other. Each pen contains invisible ink and the cap contains a black-light beam which illuminates the message. What a fun way to change up a letter and make it super fun!

See how the message appears once the blue light shines on it? So cool! 

p.s. If you want a secret message writing set, you can get one here.

happy memorial day.

Happy Memorial Day!

Take time to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Military today. If you see someone today that is currently serving our country or who has in the past, remember to tell them Thank You!

p.s. Interested in writing to someone in the United States Military? Check out a few of these websites: A Million Thanks, OperationPAL, Soldiers' Angels. Having had several friends in the military, I know how much a letter from back home can make their day!

To get a letter, you must write a letter.

received with love.

I received a great package in the mail yesterday which is always a nice surprise!

It was a belated birthday present from my dear friend Kathryn. She knows me well. We used to live in NY together, so the wallet is perfect. And a cupcake shaped rice krispie treat! yummy.

At first I thought she forgot to write in the card and then saw the secret message pen to help me read it! I love those pens!

p.s. Thanks for the awesome birthday gift Kathryn!
