This is cool.
Tags:[ BEWARE: enabling post ahead. ]
I picked up a couple really cool things this last weekend in Edmonton. The first is called an Add-A-Page Punch Tool from Beary Patch. Anyone ever seen this before? It is super cool. Scroll down the page (on the link) to watch the video that shows how to use it (and what you can do with it). Being able to add inclusions (like envelopes, transparencies, ephemera, etc) to existing spiral books will be so awesome (fits right in with the miniBOOK topic for the week).
Next I met Janice from a wonderful little company called Papier Valise and sampled a ton of her vintage products. Watch out people - seriously cool stuff in her booth (and in her online shop). I got a bunch of flash cards with cool words on them and a whole bunch of political definition cards she had on hand (think I can put those to good use?).
Also thought these ladies had some cool stamp collections: Tin Box Creations. Each set comes in its own cute little circle tin box.
Love this Date Prompt sticker sheet from Melissa Frances. They have some really lovely patterned papers available too (and check out those Christmas Cardstock stickers - I need to get some of those as I gear up for some holiday creativity).
And of course I came home with some more Heidi Swapp journaling spots and chipboard alphabets. I am addicted to those jouranling spots.
Having a day of recovery today. Kept Simon home from school - he and I are both a bit under the weather and it is a good reason to just cuddle up on the couch.
For those of you that missed the first newsletter (it will be weekly so sign up now to make sure you get the next one), email me and I will be happy to forward it to you.

Ali-
Love the newsletter thanks also love the Valise website!! Since we are in a sharing mood I thought I would share a very cool website I ran across today. It's called Etsy.com. It's a venue for artists to sell their handmade artwork. I especially fell in love with an artist I thought you might like, her art is so whimsical & fun: theblackapple.etsy.com. Just thought you would be inspired by this website & all the cool art.
Cheers.

HI Ali, I too signed up for your newsletter previously and I did not receive it. So please if you don't mind forwarding the first one to me and I will sign up to receive them again. You are BRILLIANT, and I don't want to miss out on these newsletters. Hope you and Simon get to feeling better!
