Feeling Lucky?

Can you believe that March is here already? A favorite holiday of mine is right around the corner...St. Patrick's Day! Before you head over to Kenneally's or downtown to Birraporetti's, why not try your luck at Houston Invitation Service. Now through St. Patrick's Day, they are running a contest: You get the opportunity to guess the number of coins in their Pot of Gold and win a fun prize! The contest is open to any customer, regardless of purchase amount.

I ran in and got some cute enclosure cards from Karen Adams Designs and walked out with this awesome Nouvelle "Verde" Candle---continuing their St. Patty's theme, the candle is packaged in a green container that is made from recycled materials AND the candle itself is a "green" candle complete with a cotton wick and soy wick.

And, no, I won't tell you what the right number is in the pot---that would be cheating! ;)

Thank You!

Another way to save some money? Take advantage of vendor promotions. It seems like it is "Stationery Season" with several vendors offering free return address imprinting!

With savings like these, it's definitely time to update the stationery wardrobe. At Houston Invitation Service, they have deals from lots of brands---at every price point.


Look for deals from William Arthur, Page Stationery, Smock, and more!


Get out there and get to writing!

Back to Basics

With the economy what it is, everyone is looking for ways to cut back and save money. Simplifying your life can not only lessen the load on your wallet, but it can pay unexpected dividends! Like peace of mind and less stress.

Instead of worrying yourself silly about how to out-do the last kid's birthday party, why not have a simple, old-fashioned birthday party---you know, the ones we all had? Come up with a theme, get some great invitations, treats, snacks and you are done!

Here are a couple of super-cute, budget-friendly invitations from Kris-10's Creations!

This past weekend was perfect for a birthday at the park. Hopefully the weather will keep up and cooperate...
