Three Things

1) I'm heading to The Stationery Show with Jordan this morning. I am soooo looking forward to this. The Stationery Show could easily be my favorite trade show of the year. It's big but not too big. And it's oh so inspiring. This visit will be even more fun because I'll be with Jordan. Yay! I'm sure I'll have lots of pretty things to share after our little outing. I can't wait to report.

2) The Stationery Show alone is going to make for a pretty terrific Monday. But happily, the fun doesn't end there. While I'm at the show, I'll be using Blogger's new future-post feature to publish a lovely introduction to this week's Guest Mom: Amy Sharp.

Amy is a wonderful person to know virtually. And although I haven't met her in person, I'm betting she's pretty fantastic in real life as well. You are going to love her posts this week! I've had a sneak peak of 3 of them and they make me adore her even more. I was originally introduced to Amy through her fantastic blog Doobleh Vay and through her fine editorial work at kirtsy. I'm so glad you'll get to know her too! She's written up a darling little intro. And if all goes well. It should post all by itself in another hour.



3) It's especially good that we have Amy with us this week. Because I'll be partially absent. I'm heading to Houston this evening for more exciting kirtsy meetings. Kirtsy meetings = spending time with Laurie and Laura = laughing really hard while simultaneously working really hard = happy Gabrielle. This is my third trip to Houston since December. I'm thinking I should just get an apartment there, right? I'll be back on Wednesday.

Enjoy Amy's posts! I'll do my best to twitter some updates from my cellphone while I travel — you can see the updates in my sidebar. (What's twitter? How do I even explain. It's somewhere between i/m-ing and blogging. And I was totally peer-pressured into trying it — thankfully. Because it's awesome. And you should be twittering to. Come on. Try it. One time won't hurt.)
