When you own your own business, there really are no days off. And I love it. I mean, I really love it! But with that love comes stress, anxiety, and long hours…. usually, to the point where there really isn’t a time during my day where I’m not thinking about work. So, as I’m digging my way out from beneath the millions of fabric scraps, scissors, rulers, thread, and all kinds of papers at the moment, please discover, enjoy, and just plain love these prints by Orange Beautiful

Shop Orange Beautiful.

I’m thinking I may continue’s Friday’s blog theme and write about love for the entire week! Just thinkin’ about it makes me feel those familiar butterflies!

Today, I am swooning over Tad+Jess’ wedding themed invitation set! Simply adorable! Letterpress? Heck yes! The creative simplicity of this Save The Date is a keeper!

Now on to the invitation…. Does it get any sweeter than this? I didn’t think so. Gonna have to store this idea in the inspiration box for future reference.

Finally, the goodie bag. Literally. You all know that we fine folk over at JessBecause believe being green is not an option, but rather a necessity. Tad and Jess seem to share our sentiments and splurged on custom silk screened tote bags for their wedding guests. Awesome!

See more of their wedding here.

Hi everyone!

I’ve got a super-quick, super-awesome late night shop update for ya!!

NEW Patty Young Fabric !
NEW Vintage Typewriter Key Rings !
NEW Note Cards !

Enjoy & Happy Shopping!
Jess

Happy birthday to youuu! Happy birthday to youuuuu! Happy birthday dear Grrrretchen! Haaappy birthday to YOU! Aaaand many more…..

I don’t think anyone can have too many birthdays. Or too many birthday cupcakes. Ooor too many birthday cocktails! As you may, or may not, be able to tell from my attempt at singing her the happy birthday song, today is my dear friend Gretchen’s day of birth! To kick-start the celebration, I’m posting my new Happy Birthday note card in the shop!

Does the color teal not quite tickle your fancy? Well guess what…. you can customize this card with any one of JessBecause’s colors! When you go to purchase the Happy Birthday note, just include a note with the color of your choice and I’ll quickly send a pdf proof to your e-mail. Once the ‘ole lookey-loo and approval on your part has taken place, I’ll print and ship {for free!} to arrive at your front door as fast as the postman can run. Okay, he’s probably not running to your front door, but I can guarantee a speedy delivery.

You can buy the HAPPY BIRTHDAY note right here!

PS} HAPPY FRIDAY!!

I’m feeling beyond overjoyed today! I’ve received nothing but happy, groovy vibes towards JessBecause and because of it I can’t help but grin wide! In fact, all I want to do is yell out loud from the bottom of my heart to the top of my voice box, “THANKS!” Instead, I think I’ll just send my gratitude to you via a note, which just happens to be JessBecause’s newest addition to the shop!

To send some words of Thanks to your own friend, mom, brother, teacher, whoever…. just visit the shop!

Don’t forget, all day everyday, JessBecause offers free shipping on every single paper item! Yeah, now you’re catching on to those happy, groovy vibes! I knew you would!

What an exciting and miraculous day today is! Today, one of my best friends, Kendra along with her husband Chris and 17 month old daughter Amelia, will welcome a new beautiful baby girl into the world! A sincere note of Congratulations is definitely in order to the twice-over happy family!

Do you also know someone cooking a tater tot in the oven or has just recently silenced the oven timer? I bet you do. I advise sending gifts to the mom…. gifts of bubble baths and champagne {or maybe just some Perrier and raspberries}. She’s earned it!

PS} I’ve oh-so-conveniently designed a simple, but super fun “Happy Baby” note card {for both boy or girl} to include with gift to mom! To see details of this note and to purchase, follow this link and this link! Happy shopping!

Sometimes you just want to surprise your BFF with a big, fat “HI!”, but in a cute way of course! You can do just that with JessBecause’s newest note card! I know what you’re thinking, “Yes, I would love a sweet lil note for my friend {maybe even my secret crush}, but why would I buy a card online, plus pay for shipping? Makes absolutely no sense.” Spooky how I just read your mind right? Well have no fear. Every single note card in the shop is FREE SHIPPING! That’s right baby. So put that pretty smile back on your face, and snail mail a smile to your friend while you’re at it. Trust me, they’ll be head over heels happy about it!

PS} I know yesterday I said I would post the items in my shop at 8pm, but I’m just too excited to wait all day to offer you my goodies {yeah, I said it}. So, starting today, whenever I’ve got a Sneak Peak for ya, you can instantly click the link and shop away! Oh, but please do have fun while you’re at it.

A quick PS} a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mister!!! Today he turns a perfect 28! I should also mention, he’s the peanut butter to my jelly. We like it that way :)

New items in the shop!

You say you love hot glue guns? Boxes of buttons? Sewing needles? Letterpress? Generally anything and everything that’s craft-tacular? So why not have some personal stationery that reflects YOU?! Let the cards be your pens’, pencils’, and paint pens’ neighbor?! You can buy these craft-tacular note cards in a set of 4 or individually. Either way, it’s a win-win situation! Happy Shopping!

{Please excuse my lack of photography skills. It’ a work in progress.}

If I were a teacher {or a mom}, I would have these prints in my kids’ classroom {or bedroom}. They’re colorful and educational. Oh, and super fun! Thanks Bold & Noble. You’re swell.
