I am so proud to be running in the May 8th Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure here in the ATL!  It’s a 5k and so worth a great cause.  If you’d like to sponsor me please visit my personal web page at http://race.komenatlanta.org/site/TR?pg=personal&fr_id=1060&px=1244623.  Thank You!!

If you have any requests for a particular design for a notecard you don’t already see on my site, please email me and let me know!  askme@noteworthypaper.com  I am happy to take customized requests – I’ve already done a few and they’ve turned out great!

For those of you with Soccer players, Cheerleaders, or Ballet Girls – you’ve got check out my new personalized peeps!  They are super cute and totally customized down to the hair color!  You can find them under See What’s New on my site!

So I just got done reading this new handy guide that recently came out for Busy Parents.  It’s called The Infant and Toddler Guide for Busy Parents and it was written by Sheila Phillips – Founder and Creator of Family Resource Guides, LLC.  It is a totally worth having if you are a busy parent. It allows you to track all of the little details that become so important when running a household full of children and the best thing about it is that it is a guide and do-list for caregivers to use in your absence.  What a comfort to know that when you are away (whether vacationing or on a business trip) your caregiver (the person you trust the most to watch after your little ones) has a handy guide right by their side to use that lists all of the details of the household. Details such as physician information, schedules for daily routines such as after-school activities and mealtime, personal care about your children, and important numbers to call. This guide even has a section on how to use an infant/child carseat properly…now that’s something my parents could have used when my son Blake was younger.

This great guide is available on their website www.forbusyparents.com and sold in some local specialty stores in Columbus, OH. You should check it out when you have a minute or two – it will save plenty of time and headaches in the future!  It’s also a great gift for those expecting – especially for the first time.

(I also just found out that Sheila published a Pet Care Guide too for all of you animal lovers out there.) After all, aren’t pets our children too?!!!  I know our 120 pound Mastiff is – he’s been with us now for 11 years – and he’s my ultimate baby!

Enjoy!

Wishing all of my customers, friends and family a Happy Holiday Season!  It has been a whirlwind few months for NoteWorthy Paper and I am so excited about all of the new items we’ve created in the past few months.

I am enjoying some family time now over the holidays with a few “work days” in between.   I have LOTS of new items to upload over the next few weeks.  Skull & Crossbones, Funky Peace Signs, Cheerleaders, Soccer players, Camouflage…..just to name a few.  So check back after the 1st of the year for many new items. 

Thank You for the business in 2009.  We are so excited about the upcoming year.

So if you have not checked this store out yet…you must do!  It has become my favorite local place to shop for fun, trendy clothes!  American Threads is located on Windward Pkwy (5315 Windward Pkwy) to be exact - in the same strip center as Starbucks (my other favorite place to visit).  I never leave the store without a purchase. Their clothes are too cute and fun not to want to even try them on!  And did I say Affordable? You can’t beat the prices.  Anne Min is one of the owners and she is a super, nice girl to meet. So please say Hi to her when you stop in. 

This Saturday, Dec. 12th from 11-7 will be wine, food and great shopping plus you can receive 20% off your entire purchase.  NoteWorthy Paper will have a fun selection of note cards on sale there too!  So stop on by. You won’t be sorry you did!

I am so excited to announce a new addition to the NoteWorthy Paper team – Marcie Fink a recent graduate from Michigan State University. With a degree in Advertising & Design, she is a welcome addition to our team.  We will be introducing many new designs within the next few weeks so check back often!

So I’ve had several requests in the past few months to create invitations to numerous events. While I was not planning on heading into that category originally— I think I’ve changed my mind.  I’ve created a few cute ones recently and will be posting them soon….so stay tuned!
