Because I have been neglecting to give you all some lovin' I thought I would make up for missing Tuesday and post on Friday, which is kinda not normal for me Then again what has been normal these days. Okay, okay you twisted my arm, really I feel sick again after having a type A attack this morning. For those of you who don't know what a type A attack is, it is defined as a sudden and overwhelming urge to put everything back in its place regardless of the state you are in. In my case, these attacks typically happen while I'm in the process of getting dressed usually between make up application and hair drying, yet before clothes have been put on. Yeah, sexy I know.
I was feeling good so I decided to embrace the moment and go to town. More laundry was put in the washer, emptied three bags from our trip, straighten up the living room, bedroom, and bathroom, and lastly got dressed. My landscapers decided to surprise me and well they got a show they weren't expecting. These things happen to the best of us right? But I have a clean house and have taken full advantage of feeling good, now I feel sick. Oh well, at least the better half will come home to a clean house.
Since today is not normal I decided to go with someone who, while is in love with paper herself isn't a letterpress printer. Kelly from Ink Whimsy creates everything from envelops to paper confetti garlands.
You guys know I'm a sucker for a good map. Now make an envelop out of a map and I'm done!

If you worry about the post office loving your map envelop as much as you do there are always the heart stickers she made from maps as well. Nothing like showing you care with some map lovin'.

I'm totally diggin' her paper garland. While I can see it being a cute DIY project this one is sewn together and I don't own a sewing machine. Sadly the sewing gene isn't pasted down from my mom to me. Right after I graduated from college I was sewing a belt and ran out of the bobbin threat and couldn't figure out how to make it better. I called our neighbor friend crying that I graduated college but I can't figure out a sewing machine. That is how my sewing career began and ended in one day. Now you know why I love this because I can't do it myself and the pretty colors. Yes, she does custom color work too!

Kelly does make cards as well and this one is perfect for a little fall love. Perhaps throw in a gift card for Starbucks or your favorite coffee place as pumpkin flavors are hitting the coffee bars again.

Well that was fun don't you think? I'm going to go and lay down for a bit before I pick up my better half at the airport and hope to rally. I have a volleyball game to go to this afternoon. Go Stanford!
