The New Baby Checklist – what’s on yours?
It wasn’t that long ago that I vividly remember calling my big sister in a panic “Quick! Tell me! How many crib sheets do I need?” I was 8mths pregnant, and sorting through my New Baby Checklist – I had torn it out of a magazine, and was working my way through it with a fine toothcomb. Oh, the desperate, imperative urgency I felt about those crib sheets. What if I didn’t have enough? How many was enough?...

Paper Shaker – have you seen them?
I was introduced to PaperShaker over the summer when a friend used them for Wedding Thank you’s – and totally fell in love. I keep meaning to write about them. On the whole, I’m not a big fan of personalised cards. they always seem…. cheap. D’you know what i mean? Quickly banged out designs, on not-very-good cardstock. I’d always rather have a lovely thick plain card, written by hand with thought...
