For those of you who are participating, I’ve made a group on Flickr for you to share your photos of what you’re making/receiving. This year’s swap is shaping up to be a really good group and I can’t wait to see what shows up in my mailbox! :)

I was shopping this past week and found these great air mail envelopes at my local paper store Congdon and Crome.

And speaking of local gems, there’s now a Paper Source at Town & Country here in Palo Alto! Yay!!

I just bought one of their birthday cards on a trip to Maido (come back to Palo Alto!!!) and then I started doing “research” for the paper swap and I find their store on etsy! I love love LOVE all their cards, they’re so gorgeous. Judge for yourself:
