Today over at Skip To My Lou I’m offering a free bookplate and coordinating envelope download. You can personalize the bookplates with the name of your child’s teacher. Click here to go to the post. Enjoy!

Our new neighbors had a baby. Charlie. I made a little something for him and big sister Molly.

Book Plates for baby Charlie's library.

Some stationery of her own for 4-year-old Molly.

Of course I couldn’t resist using some bakers twine for wrapping.

Stationery wrapped with a handmade pom pom.

On Tuesday, I went with my sister and niece to Paper Souce in Berkeley. My sister was looking for some envelopes and I was along for the eye candy that Paper Source always delivers. So, what an unexpected treat to find PS’s labels on rolls on big-time sale! There were only a few left and I bought most of them. I had no idea at the time what I’d do with them, but I find it hard to pass up a deal.

Tuesday evening my husband talked to me about needing a baby gift for a client. My mind went right to my new labels. I made some book plates with the rectangular labels.

I also made some coordinating flat notes for Millie Louise (is that the cutest name, or what?).

I gathered my wrapping supplies.

I used the 5″ label to seal the white bag, then tied it all up.

All wrapped up and ready to give.
