As the, wedding dress, "paper nerd", Emily, mentioned, this week is the National Stationery Show in New York City! Thousands of paperies, specialty stores, buyers, and enthusiasts (ahem, Emily) come to the trade show every year. There are parties, demonstrations, booths, and book signings galore to satisfy any stationery fan.

With the National Stationery Show under way in New York City, what better way to celebrate how awesome stationery is (really, great stationery IS awesome) than with a giveaway from one of the personal favorite stationery design studios, the LV Studio. The letterpress designs from the LV Studio are to-die-for. Take a look for yourself. (Cue communal sigh) Aren't they dreamy?

 Also, I had a wonderful time going through all of the family pictures you guys sent in! Some were endearing, some were adorable, and some were just down-right hilarious. Though it was difficult to come to a decision, it is time to announce the winner of a brand new Flip SlideHD. A big congratulations Mary Elisabeth, the winner of the Flip SlideHD giveaway!

Here's her entry:

According to my mother, this is from a roll of film in which I made a face in every single photo. This is one of my favorite pictures because I love the way she and my Daddy are looking at each other (even though his face was cut off). Even though I look like a small gremlin, you can see how much they love each other and how much they love me.

That hasn't changed a bit in the time since this photo was taken. They love me and support me wherever I go, which right now is across the ocean in France. I miss them both terribly, but whenever I get homesick, I just look at this, V-Neck Flowergirl Dress, picture and it reminds me how much they truly love me.

I hope my future kid is that awesome! Congratulations, Mary! Everyone else, be sure to enter the LV Studios giveaway and keep reading for more great giveaways in the future.
