Sponsor/Small Business Spotlight and Giveaway- Gossamer Blue

Okay, so the official blurb is below, but I want to add my own two cents on today's spotlight. Gossamer Blue is amazing. Lori is amazing. She is genuine, kind, and the real deal.

She has some of the best customer service I've ever come across. Truly. And her kits are the ones I keep ordering and will keep ordering when we move to Italy.

Located in California, Gossamer Blue is a monthly crafts club dedicated to inspiring and motivating memory keepers and crafters alike. Not only is a fabulous box of well-coordinated crafting products shipped to your door each month, you will also find valuable, exclusive resources and incentives for inspiring and motivating you all month long.

The club is subscription based. The main kit is discounted and shipped to your door once a month.

above is the May sneak peek.

It is a non-commitment club. Cancel when you want.

Each month the main kit and the add-on kits are built around one color scheme. This helps ensure that everything coordinates and can be used together.

You can even earn a free album just for using your kits.

small business spotlight >>> gadanke

You guys have heard me talk about Gadanke before.

I'm a HUGE fan of Katie and her journals.

I think everyone needs one of them. I have a few and I treasure them so much.

Not only are they beautiful...they are full of love. And heart.

Here's a little bit about Gadanke:

Gadanke's motto:

celebrate your story!

Document who you are and what you crave and believe. Handmade journaling products at Gadanke are filled with creative writing prompts and tidbits to make you think (and laugh!). These baby books, prayer journals, travel books, and diaries make your writing process more meaningful and fun! Plus they're totally eco-savvy with 100% recycled papers.

If you're interested, here's a piece of my story...

A couple of years ago, NPR's StoryCorp was in town. It was also my grandma's 90th birthday. The two of us decided to hop into the recording studio to capture some pieces of her story. I had all sorts of prompts to help her. The only problem? My grandma couldn't remember. Too much time had passed. Later, my dad turned to me and said, "Katie, I need you to write down your story." I knew he wished he had his mom's stories. So I started writing.
I started wondering about all of the other women who have stories deep inside of them. Gadanke was born with fabulous writing prompts and recycled papers.

 

Katie sent me the Seeking Grace journal and I love it so much. I write in it now and then, whenever my heart needs to.

Nothing fancy, no pressure. The thing I love about Katie's books is that they are perfect just the way they are. I don't have to add much, or anything at all really.

Here are a few photos of my journal.

Head on over to the shop, Katie has given you guys a special discount code to use.

Discount code:

10% off all journals with the code: SWEETSTORIES

And please, as always, take time to go find Gadanke and say hi. I don't feature shops or women I don't believe in and Katie is no exception. She is lovely and talented and LOVES what she does. Please stop by and tell her you appreciate her!
