Gus

A typical day in my life:
4:30am- get up, do yoga for ½ hour
5:00am- take shower
5:15am- walk dog
5:30am- drink coffee, watch the weather, get dressed
6:00-6:15am- leave for work, drop Gus off at Doggie daycare
7am-6pm- WORK-WORK-WORK
6:15pm- pick up Gus from Doggie daycare
7pm- whew! Finally get home, scramble to find something for dinner
7:30pm- eat dinner w/hubby, talk about Gus and what he did that day
8:30pm- watch a little T.V.
9:30pm- check my email
10pm- go to bed….

Embossed paw prints

Embossed paw prints

…exhausted. Aren’t we all? But I love my job and being the head of our custom print and production department, I’ve got the goods to make correspondence and entertaining just a little bit easier (and cuter)– a desk embosser and doggie paw print embosser plate, plus an address plate.

I emboss my paw prints on every card I send– because Gus loves my mom too, right? And how nice it will be to just emboss all my envelopes with my address clip ahead of time before I sign and stuff them with all of my holiday cards. Easy, easy, easy…even my husband can help! Haha! Gus would too if he had opposable thumbs (I know he thinks his tongue works, but it’s not the same effect).

Here’s a tip: emboss paper napkins on the edges–stars, holiday trees, anything. Just did it for a friend’s baby shower with the playful stars motif and everyone thought I bought them like that!

Embossers also make great gifts– for mom, auntie, brother, sister-in-law. Buy one machine and just keep giving them a new plate every year! Truly the gift that keeps on giving. LOVE IT!

    Wow wow! I love Gus! as much as the embossers. I gave the Lree of life to my friend Jeanette. She got married and used it everywhere; invite, thank you cards, programs, menus, placecards and tags for favor boxes. They invited us for dinner in their garden and she made placemats with solid color papers and she embossed three trees in the lower right corner, they looked so nice. I can’t believe how much she loves it. I never thought about the napkings! I can’t wait to tell her now.
