Thank You Thursday. {Fearless Communication.}

This is a bit off from my other thankful posts. I was going to write about these super good brownies that I discovered but at the moment...I am just really thankful for good communication.

I was in a funky mood and feeling just... well, "AHHH!"... if you've had those days. But really, I had nothing to complain about other than my dumb camera. I just felt off. And NOW I feel better! Amazing what a little talking with your husband will do. I'm so thankful that I am able to talk with James about anything. I know a lot of women that can't talk to their husbands like they do their friends and I've always felt like we can talk about anything. We may not always have answers for things but at least there is understanding and a whole lot of openness.

As well as feeling better from talking with James... My mom and Kate are always especially good to bounce things off of. So thank you... you talkers that help keep my sanity and keep me focused on the things that are important.

Thank You Thursday. {Paper Source}

Envelopes, labels, and paper... Oh MY! All of my packaging for mailers, cd cases (which I make from petal envelopes), pretty stickers, and pretty much any paper product that I use comes from Paper Source. Unfortunately, we don't have an actual location in Michigan to visit but online works just as well. The colors are always right on. They have beautiful products and a wide variety of colors. One big plus to shopping with Paper Source is that I can expect that my package will be on my doorstep the next day! They are speedy. Besides things that I use for business, they also have fun gifties and projects for crafters. Thank you Paper Source for being so awesome.

Thank You Thursday. {Virgil's Root Beer}

I've been brainstorming like mad for my business. Reading a TON whenever I'm able and coming up with ideas for marketing, my branding, as well as what I want to do. One thing that I'm really going to be revamping is my online stuff--my website needs a rehaul for what pictures I show but the blog could be better for sure. Including actually posting often... right now I really don't like posting on my business blog. i'm trying to get James to take over for me. :) Anyway, one thing that I was thinking I'd do is have a daily theme of posting and Thursdays is going to be Thank You Thursday.

I'm going to try it out on my own blog first though because I'm not going to be redoing my online stuff until this winter. And this week I am thankful for Virgil's Root Beer! I know I've already posted before about how much I love Trader Joe's... but really, they rock for bringing the quality. Virgil's is a gourmet root beer, hand crafted and microbrewed with herbs from around the world. Immediately you can taste the different flavors: clove, anise, molasses, and flavors that you wouldn't expect in root beer like wintergreen. Their website says that they are "what Ben and Jerry's is to ice cream"...and that is the truth. I don't particularly like to drink pop as a usual beverage... I stick to my water, tea, and coffee. But when I want a treat-- this soda does the trick.
