Our Christmas gift tags

Today we are wrapping up our Christmas gift tags into beautiful bundles. My God, the things we do to keep our customers happy. Please Santa, give us an imp for Christmas (preferably male). We've tried to be good, very hard, well...most of the time. 

No point denying

Although we're certainly not ready for cold weather there's no point in denying that it will come in a couple of weeks. So to help us getting used to the idea we've already designed two new Christmas cards. Hope you'll like them.

Libelle

This week our Add & Edit Notebooks in the Libelle.

Valentine

Come on girls, don't just wait for him to send you a card. Make sure you give him the message that you are THE ONE, could be for now or maybe for longer. Sometimes it's us who want to be rescued, but they need a bit of love rescuing as well from time to time.

Freezing

It's freezing out here and everybody is so into the idea of ice skating. The thought itself makes me shiver and crawl even closer to the heater. But still, the idea of ice skating did get me to make this.

The finest DIY for Christmas 2011

I've been surfing the web yesterday evening for the finest DIY for Christmas this year and maybe it's me being too difficult, but it was quite a search looking for extraordinary projects that I really really liked and wanted to do myself. But here they are.

1. Lovely white scenery in a jar from Tortoise and the Hare

2. Nice white clay ornaments, could be used all year around actually. I can also see them used for an advent calender. By Fancy House Road

3.  Truly nice christmas ornaments for in the tree or on a simple branch of wood. By Voyages of the Creative Variety

4. A twinkling glass and red and white chandelier by Fun.kyti.me

5. A beautiful soft and colourful christmas ornament by Happy Serendipity

6. Excellent gift tags free to print for you by Eat drink chic

7. A rendeer shirt, or skirt if you want. Also nice for the kids. By Freckles in April

Bidprentje

Joyce's husband found his devotional for his first communion, so cute. We're puzzled about the seven thingies at the bottom, anybody? We'll reward you with a virtual kiss!

Aalesund

Ever heard of Aalesund, it's a town in Norway and it has an excellent shop called Farmor Ingvarda selling lovely stuff and... our Liefgoed postcards. Have a look for yourself at Farmor Ingvarda's blog. It's not very likely that we visit Norway anytime soon, but when we do, Farmor Ingvarda will certainly be on the list of things to visit. Thank you Trine for having us in your excellent shop!

Project 52 Kaartjes

We love the idea of the Project called 52 Kaartjes.
An initiative of two sisters Annemiek & Anna who send each other a handwritten card every week and post about it on their blog and twitter.

Why? Because we hardly send or receive handwritten mail anymore. And isn't that a pity! Do you remember there actually was a time that we were looking forward to the visit of the mailman? I bet he was happier too those days, now it's mainly the bills that he needs to deliver, no fun in that. 

So join in, not only you will enjoy it, but also the one receiving it plus it will bring back happiness to the mailman's life, and of course us (... we love to design more and more postcards).

This was this weeks card from Annemiek to Anna.

Pray for Japan exposition

Maybe you remember the intitiative of Martine of Een Nieuw Avontuur  to collect work of the creative Dutch & Belgians for the exposition of the Japanese Publisher Paumes in Tokyo their Galerie Doux Dimanche for the victims of the tsunami in Japan.
Have a look at Omstebeurt for all the work that's been submitted or a glimpse of the exposition at Galerie Doux Dimanche, or a nice post on the blog of 101 Woonideeen about this initiative.

Japan

Came across this stamp today by Gertie Jaquet, no words needed....

Twitter freebie

It's hard to find nice twitter freebies other than the usual, so feel free to use those two from us, the canary from the childrensfarm will be extremely proud.
Just copy the image with your right mouse and save it, and link it to your twitter address.

Not there yet

I'm still a bit off, its my first day up and about since last Friday. The card is in general for those who are still in bed.

Flow

Nice, our Add & Edit Notebooks are in the Flow, THE Dutch magazine for a mindfull living full of creativity.

Only sad thing is, we are not mentioned as the ones who designed it & making them by hand. Only Skoon Ecodesign, an excellent online shop who sells them.

Anyway, it's always nice to see your products promoted! And just to remember you, we also offer this as a possibility for our Add & Edit Notebooks.
