oh happy day!

Okay, it's no particular holiday, but there is reason to celebrate. I GET TO FLY HOME TOMORROW! Yup, I'm still in Southeast Asia because I missed my flight and it's been a couple of days filled with calling different airlines, going to the airport to try and fly on standby and waiting around for the American branch of the office to open--which is only after the Filipino branch is already closed because there's a 12 hour time difference.

Who knew it would be this hard to stop being on vacation?

Anyway, the blogging itch got the better of me and I'm in an internet cafe with some time to kill so that's why you're getting this update. Oh, and this awesome card from Kateisgreat80. It costs $2, which is approximately 90 Filipino pesos.

papercuts

we'd like to nominate the brains behind the scherenschnitte blog as a person most in need of an etsy store IMMEDIATELY. She uses scherenschnitte (according to wikipedia: (shear-n-SNIT- a) which means "scissor cuts" in German is the art of papercutting design) to create these beautiful things. We would definitely buy a card of the "birds on a wire" image...wouldn't you? [via Oh Happy Day]

pearfection

so...we only got through page 4 of the 9 pages of goodies at petit pear, and these are all the items we absolutely could not resist posting. it's an explosion of goodness so amazing, so charming, we have to go lie down. it's a mixed bag, but most of them are gift tags and are priced at approx. 8 for $3.50.

sea-renity

oh jill bliss, can you do anything wrong? check out her new sealines notebook, 60 pages of pure pretty for $12. and made out of recycled paper, to boot! [via poppytalk]

band aids

i got my sister the card below for valentine's day last year (what can i say? if flirting with your sister is wrong, then i don't wanna be right), but i have a new crush from the great lakes cards. it's called "i'm with the band." i don't know what bands have to do with birthdays, but i think i can put reason aside for another day, in this case.
