We’ve been working on a major re-organization project here at the Rock Scissor Paper studio. We realized a while ago that the way we have our space set up was not working for us anymore. Realizing that there is a problem with something like this and correcting it are two different [...]

Hello Friday! Nice to see you! We have a busy weekend planned reorganizing our studio & warehouse. A REALLY big job, but we are looking forward to the results. Sometimes you just have to dive in head first into those overwhelming projects, right? Have a great weekend!

It’s no secret I like to have parties. Big or small, it doesn’t matter! I love every part of it: the planning, the preparation, the menu, the decorations, and of course the people you get to celebrate with. All to often, parties are reserved for the “3 Bs”: Birthdays, Babies & Brides. Yes, [...]

Last week, we played hooky and left work mid-afternoon to meet up with some out-of-town friends for lunch and a stroll through the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It’s always a nice treat to do something unexpected during the week, even though you know you should be at your desk working. Thank [...]

On our recent trip to Palm Springs we found ourselves having brunch at the fabulous Parker Palm Springs Hotel (now that’s something to be happy about!). Having never been there before, we were definitely wowed by the design of the spaces by Jonathan Adler and the beautiful gardens and grounds. As we were [...]
