Toothbrush holders

This week, I bought something fun for the bathroom. Let me show you!

Well, Louis-Justin will show you.

These are little animals that hold our toothbrushes!

Louis-Justin loves his cow!

I bought one for everyone. Mine is the Golden Retriever!

Nicolas has the dino...

Mario has one too (the tiger) since he sleeps here once in a while.

I got them at a bookstore near my house, but you can find them online too at MyFlipper.com!

Aren't they cute?!

Dads

Meet Nicolas, Louis-Justin's dad! He and I have been separated for over 2 and a half years, but we're still excellent friends. I'm so grateful that my little guy has such a great dad!







My own dad died almost 4 years ago of lung cancer. He would have turned 59 years old on May 26. He too was a great dad! Here's one of my favorite photos of him with Louis-Justin and my mom, a few months before my dad passed away.


To all the wonderful dads out there!

I can cook!

I'm known for being a big fan of take-out (not fast food - I usually like pretty healthy stuff), but I'm trying to get into the habit of cooking more often.

Proof: me this weekend!

I'm always looking for good vegetarian recipes - does anyone have some to share? I do eat fish and seafood, but nothing with meat please!

And the winners are...

OK, I wasn't lying when I said that I was leaving for the rest of the day, but it started raining heavily and I wasn't feeling too great anyway, so I decided to stay in.

So here are the photos of the drawing that Louis-Justin and I did this morning!

My little guy and his empty bucket...

All the names, handwritten on small pieces of paper... Do you see yours?

Making sure that all the papers are inside...

Yes, they are!

Now time to pick! No cheating, close your eyes!

And the first winner is...

Congratulations dementia! Here's your Woman In Black letter set!

And since I was feeling generous, the second winner is...

Congratulations Jordana! Here's your Butterfly Fairytale letter set!

And here's one last photo just to show you that Louis-Justin can look serious sometimes!

A big round of applause for dementia and Jordana! I'll need your shipping info as soon as possible. Please send it to: wevegotpaper (at) yahoo (dot) ca

I'm going to be doing different giveaways regularly from now on, so if you didn't win this time, there's always next time!

Thanks for playing!

Tomorrow

Thanks to the 49 people who participated in my blog giveaway!

The winners have been picked (yes, there are TWO winners!) and the photos have been taken... But I'm leaving for the rest of the day, so the results will be posted tomorrow.

Suspense, suspense...

Last day to participate!

If you'd like to win a letter set, today is your last chance! Tomorrow, Louis-Justin will pick the winner and I'll be sure to take photos.

Just go here and follow the instructions.

Here are a few of the letter sets that you could win!







Good luck to everyone and have a great weekend!

My big boy!

Louis-Justin still looks like a baby to me most of the time. (He IS my baby and always will be, so I guess that's normal.) But on this picture, I think that he looks much older than he actually is!


My son is 4 years old and will turn 5 on August 8. I'm trying to think of a theme for his birthday party... He's always loved trains, so maybe Thomas the Tank Engine? I still have plenty of time to organize everything, but I'd like his 5th birthday to be memorable!

Grocery Lists

My new grocery lists are finally up for sale on Etsy! I have 3 designs so far (cherry, avocado and tomato) and will have several more in the future (possibly blackberry, pear, banana, strawberry, watermelon, sushi, vegetable basket, olive, peppers, etc).

What designs / foods would you like to see on my upcoming grocery lists? I'm open to ideas and suggestions!

I still have to take photos of the avocado and tomato, but in the meantime, here's the cherry grocery list notepad and pen set!






All my grocery lists are also available in French (Liste d'épicerie) because I plan on selling them locally. I've already sold quite a few to family and friends! They make the perfect gift because they're useful AND pretty!

The Woman In Black

Another new letter set in my Etsy shop!






People think that she's just a regular housewife, but The Woman In Black is actually a spy. So be careful when you write letters on this stationery, your life might be in danger...

Guardian Angel

Here's a new letter set that I listed in my Etsy shop yesterday!






Do you believe in guardian angels? I like to think that there are spiritual beings watching over us...

Flowers

I don't have a garden, but things still grow everywhere around my house... Here's what I found in my front yard yesterday!




I love spring! I'm going outside to write a letter to my dear penpal Amy from England while Louis-Justin plays in his sandbox!

Etsy Team!

My friend Helena from Little Mo and Friends and I are creating a new Etsy Team! The name of the team is Etsy Snail Mailers. Anyone who has an Etsy shop, who designs letter sets, sells handmade postcards and fun things to send through the mail is welcome to join! The goal of our team is to promote our shops but also to have a network of supportive people who have indie businesses, love stationery and writing letters! We'll organize fun projects from time to time too.

If you're interested in joining the team or know anyone who might be, contact me or Helena!

Sushi Letter Sets

I recently got a custom order for 2 new sushi letter sets. (Hi Stephanie!)

The first one is called "Sushi Splash".


I was thinking about "Sushi Chopsticks" for the second set because the lines are made of little chopsticks, but maybe it sounds weird? Any suggestions for the name of this set?

They should be available in my Etsy shop within the next few weeks!
