Custom Photo Calendars

Friday, December 7th, 2012

2013 will be here before you know it…..scary isn’t it! So now is the time to pick out your 2013 calendar so you can make sure you don’t miss any important dates. I am so excited that Minted has brought back calendars to their line of fabulous paper products. You can create your own one-of-a-kind high quality photo calendar that you can hang on your wall and enjoy all year long. These are not your basic, flimsy calendars. Minted’s calendars are designed by indie designers and printed on luxurious, matte paper and they have rounded corners which give them a more modern finish. You can choose between the Standard (8.5 x 11”, $29) or the Grand (11.5 x 14”, $39). They obviously make great gifts for family and friends alike, and of course you need to make one for yourself too…

Sweet Peas & Stilettos has a great selection of planners for moms and family organizers in case you need those too.

Personalized Ink Stamps

Wednesday, November 28th, 2012

Tiny Prints week at Sweet Peas & Stilettos continues with another great daily steal of a deal. All day today you can save 35% OFF Stamps & Embossers. I know you probably get a bunch of those free stickers in the mail with your address printed on them. I am not sure why so many people send those?? Anyhow, those are fine to use on bills, but these custom ink stamps are great on letters and invitations. You can pick one up to use on your holiday cards and then continue to use it all year long. And you don’t just have to make address stamps…how about one with your initial that you can use in books or on notepaper? And there is something very historic and beautiful about embossing. I haven’t used an embosser in a million years, it might be kind of fun to actually have one for my family. Go take a look and see what you think for yourself. They are both certainly great personalized holiday gifts. Keep on saving and I’ll have another great Tiny Prints deal for you tomorrow!

Oh one more thing – the promo code to save on the stamps and embossers is: CYBER1128 and the deal expires tonight. Wednesday, 11/28/12, at 11:59 pm PST.

Personalized Notebooks

Monday, November 26th, 2012

Tiny Prints week on Sweet Peas & Stilettos continues with another fabulous daily deal. Today it is all about notebooks and they are 35% OFF all day today. Yes yes yes – I know we all have our iPhone and great online calendars and organizational tools, but I will be the first to admit that there is just something about paper, and pulling out a pen, and jotting down notes with real ink. These personalized notebooks from Tiny Prints are 5 x 8 inches so they should fit right into your tote bag. They also make great gifts for a wide variety of people. Here are a few ideas:

1) For children, you can create a book in their school colors and use a cute picture of your child with her best friends.

2) Grandma (or mom or your mother-in-law) would love a notebook with an adorable picture of her grandchildren.

3) Make notebooks for your girlfriends too. You don’t have to use a photo of people, maybe a picture of the beach, your favorite flowers, a bottle of wine, a cupcake, or your favorite pair of shoes.

4) And don’t forget to make a notebook for yourself!!

The 35% OFF sale ends tonight at midnight PST.

Lands’ End Suede Pouches

Sunday, October 14th, 2012

I just spotted these suede pouches in the new Lands’ End catalog and I just knew knew I had to share them with you. This was the first time I had really checked out the Lands’ End ‘Canvas’ Collection and I just found so many wonderful pieces for fall. If I had a little more time tonight I would go on and on about the colorful cords I want too….but I will stick to pouches this time around….

I keep my Louis Vuitton Neverfull totally organized by using pouches in all sizes and colors so I always know where to find my things. Chapsticks and hair bands are in the orange pouch and pens and business cards in the red one. Zip pouches are an incredibly practical way to keep things organized and make it really easy when you switch from bag to bag.

I love the feel of suede (who doesn’t??) and the Lands’ End Canvas collection of colors is perfect for fall – pumpkin spice, washed green (not shown) and pomegranate – so warm and pretty. These bags are available in two different sizes as well. You can use these fabulous suede zip pouches to organize your clutter, carry your tech, or use them as a little clutch on their own. When you are traveling, you can even use them to carry your beads and baubles. And at affordable Lands’ End prices, it is fine if you can’t pick just one favorite color.

momAgenda FREE Shipping

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

I am a total organization junkie. I admit it. I love my calendar, my lists, my day planner, my post-it notes, my iPhone, my address book – everything. I have my own personal system to keep my family, my business and my life totally organized and running smoothly and I love it. It just works for me.

Do you need to coordinate the calendars for a house full of busy kids? Are you looking for a new tool to get your life in order? One of the most popular systems I have seen is momAgenda. It was developed by a super busy mom and she has continually expanded her amazing line of products. Besides being very practical and useful, she recently she added animal print covers to many items in her collection which made me very happy too! momAgenda organizers and day planners also come in this great selection of colors:

One of their most popular items is the momAgenda Desktop. It helps busy moms manage multiple calendars for up to four children (or three kids and a spouse!) and features helpful planning areas including vacation planning and party prep pages. Love that! Plus they include an accompanying momEssentials pamphlet where you can easily keep your family’s medical information, birthdays, websites and passwords all in one handy place instead of having your important info scattered all over the place.

And, best of all, in honor of Mother’s Day shop through May 6th and receive FREE SHIPPNG on all orders with promo code LOVEMOM. Surprise yourself or a fellow mom with the gift of organization!

Mini Sticker Frames

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

I know you have an adorable picture of your children as the wall paper on your computer screen. But, what about the other side of your laptop? I love these mini removable sticker picture frames from Butch & Harold. As soon as you get the new crop of school photos, you can pop one right onto your laptop.

You can easily move these removable sticker frames around too so it can go from your computer, to the refrigerator and then onto your mirror. The stickers come in four different styles, I just happen to like these ‘gum drop’ frame. They are also great for school lockers too. Your kids can decorate their lockers with photos of their friends and family, and of course with framed pictures of Justin Bieber too…
