Wow, It’s Friday again. How did that happen?

Early this morning we went for a hike in the Santa Monica Mountains that surround Los Angeles. Most people just drive back and forth “over the hill” as we say here in LA, and never take the time to see all the natural beauty [...]

Thanks to our customers who are so supportive of us and Rock Scissor Paper, thanks to the printers and suppliers that we work with who make our products come to life, thanks to the design and craft community for constantly inspiring us, and thanks [...]

While I love baking from scratch, I like to keep a few quickie baking solutions on hand since I am often pressed for time during the holidays. Some unexpected visitors drop by after dinner?  No problem, I can whip up some treats in under 30 minutes. One of my favorite quickie [...]

We got a really late start today. Yesterday was a long (but enjoyable!) day selling our wares at the Patchwork festival.  We’ve been easing into Monday with lots of coffee!

The Patchwork festival was really fun!  I think our booth looked cute and we met a lot of really nice people. We, [...]
