Give the gift of growth and creativity this holiday

The Think & Write & Grow Plantable Journals are receiving rave reviews.

How cool is this - the cover is plantable and the inner pages are recycled.  Inside, you have 150 pages for your thoughts & ideas.

Ideas usually need time to percolate before they can become great. By keeping a creative journal, your best ideas have time to become even better ideas.

Read the complete article called Creative Journaling: Where your best ideas get better.

As we were designing the Think & Write & Grow Plantable Journal collection, I spoke with many people about their journaling habits. It was great to hear how many people give journals as gifts.

Give the gift of growth and creativity this holiday; only $19.95.

Make it a green holiday

It's been a crisp, snowy winter's weekend here; what about where you are? Busy? Quiet? Cold? Hot? Whatever the circumstances, I hope you've been able to find a moment to reflect and give thanks.

The image at right is an element from a new plantable seed card collection that will launch in early 2008. We'll be posting more about that later in December. New to the website last week are the Plantable Holiday Cards now available in singles. So if you've fallen in love with one design (say, the Reindeer), you can order multiples of just that design.

Buy Handmade This Holiday

Have you heard about buyhandmade.org? It's a cool site that encourages us all to buy products that are handmade, not mass-made. We at Botanical PaperWorks agree with this philosophy (of course!) and encourage you too to buy handmade where ever possible.

Looking for handmade stationery or handmade soap? Those are two great places that I know about. And I've been eyeing this handmade jewelry and handmade yoga wear! Go support handmade!!
