Happy Monday! One of my dear friends Alpha had a birthday this past week. It's always tricky to find unique gifts to send to friends on a budget. I found these vintage style chewing gums at a local store in Ann Arbor and thought they were just right. Aren't the colors perfect? I was lucky enough to have a card and envelope to match. The joys of being a stationery hoarder!

Also, it's time to announce the winner of my Year in Review giveaway! Thank you to all who entered and for your kind words. My sweet math major husband created a little formula that picked a winner at random, and the winner is....Abby! Congratulations...I look forward to designing your Year in Review!

Thank you again to Cleanwash Letterpress for offering to letterpress the final design! I can't wait to see the final outcome.
