A New Addition // a paper cutter (that cuts a million sheets at a time)

Paper-CutterTeam, meet my new paper cutter!

I went down to Portland this weekend to pick this baby up from Joke -- OMG, it is everything thing that I dreamed of, and more. It's like a printers wet-dream. My God, this thing is amazing. Once I got it home and in position I had to take it for a spin -- I promptly grabbed a huge stack of my scrap paper and clamped it down -- to my shock/amazement (I didn't know what to expect) it sliced through the paper like butter. GAH! Do you know how much time this is going to save me? Hours I tell you, hours! Many of them, it is going to be awesome!

A huge thanks to Joke for thinking of me and selling this to me, I cannot tell you how excited that I am -- super, extra excited is a start.

Happy 4th!

4th-of-julyTo quote Katy Perry, come on, let your colors burst! Happy 4th everybody!

Welcome to my favorite holiday EVER! I would love to say that it's due to our nations independence, but I have to admit, it's less about that and more about the events of the day. I always find myself surrounded by my favorite people, eating great food and laughing into the night while watching fireworks. Enjoy the day, you know I will be :)

Friday Fun Day // Happy Almost 4th!

Ewa-FridayIs it Friday again?!? Yes, yes it is! Woot! What's everyone got planned this weekend? Hey Independence Day, I see you!

I'm headed back to Eastern Washington to sun myself, followed by a river rafting trip down the Wenatchee, followed by some printing (yes, I do work, not just travel), followed by celebrating my cousin and his marriage (which means that I can finally show you his awesome invites on Tuesday!), then followed by a day trip to Vashon Island to celebrate my favorite holiday ever, the 4th! I love fireworks, like a lot. This 4th will be bitter-sweet though, the party will double as a farewell party to my bestie Eva who is moving in three weeks, tear.

Have a great weekend everybody, see you Monday (sort of)!
