Mmm...Papery and Cakery

Our new obsession is reading the blog of one of our newest stores, Papery and Cakery. It’s full of so much great information on two of my true loves: cake and paper. If you scroll down you can see how we’ve combined our adorable cupcake announcement with Martha Stewart’s cupcakes. If only our announcement was edible.

Things We Love: Annoying, Catchy Song of the Summer

Around here, we're wondering exactly where summer is. Almost every summer day here in Cleveland has been either 68 degrees or rainy. Not that we're completely complaining; I suppose that we could be sweltering and dealing with the 98-degrees-in-the-shade type of weather we usually get.

To warm up, we suggest the above song, one that has somehow implanted itself in the brain of most of us. We apologize in advance.

Poppin'

Our friends at LottaLuv (and especially Eileen) sent us this awesome box of goodies. Our lip gloss dreams are finally answered. Jason, our head designer, is so excited about his cherry Laffy Taffy gloss he’s already applied it more then the recommended dosage. I did notice his smile looking a little plumper today. Thanks again, Eileen! We love getting goodies in the mail.

GUITARMAGEDDON!

Proofreader Jim (the one in the beret) had a dream after he found out that Rebecca and Meg, two of our print production artists, were taking guitar lessons: everyone who has a guitar would bring one to work, and much rocking-out would ensue. Due to the photographic evidence above, we could say that was quite accurate. We hung out in the parking lot like a bunch of teenage delinquents, "Wonderwall" was attempted a few times, and much fun was had. Plans are to make GUITARMAGEDDON a weekly event, unless Rob (inexplicably wearing a "Forever Plaid" T-shirt) forgets his guitar, which he is wont to do.
