These made the designer and the minimalist in me smile. I’m not planning a wedding anytime soon (I’m one of those very happily married people) but may have to use this idea for other things… From MissCake (via WeddingGawker)

Wrapping paper for all occasions by Fabio Milito – this would be great to have on standby all year round – perfect for any gift, and can be used to entertain the kids when they are bored. They do greetings cards as well. Clever.

Good old google (who ever thought we’d be saying that so quickly). They can always be relied upon to make us smile.

Sometimes all it takes is a sticker to say I LOVE YOU (printed out from my computer and cut out with a hole punch)

More “punny valentines” – (you asked for it). Again using items from the dollar store.
I can’t disguise my love for you… or Guess who loves you?
Let’s get chaffed lips on Valentine’s Day
Hey hotshot, or (as my husband suggested) Let’s Bang!
You get the idea – take a trip to your local dollar store and have some fun, I’m sure you can think of some better (or worse) one’s than me.
See the first group of “punny” valentines here.

Seems like the guys over at the Keep Calm Gallery are thinking like me… I love this.
Now where to find some olives and a sheep?…

I have mixed feelings about Valentines Day – while I’m not against LOVE and all that stuff, I’m not your typical teddy bears and roses type of girl. So this year I thought I’d get punny and share some easy (and very cheap) ways to share your most intimate feelings sense of humor on Valentines Day. Everything was bought from the dollar store, so I don’t have to tell you how much it cost, right?
And yes, I am sorry (but smiling)
I Glove you – a simple pair of gardening gloves. You could also do puns about hands, weeding (as in “I weed you”) – go on, have some fun, be hands on!
Bring on the car puns – nothing says “you rev my engine” like a toy car.
What guy can resist crazy (Ok, don’t answer that) – you could also write stuff about loosing your head over him, or “you have my head, now find my body” – yes, it’s creepy but I had a lot of fun making it.
Perfect for your knight in shining armor (or at least plastic) – so many knight puns out there.
You can spend a dollar and still make something romantic. This works perfectly for the “I love you everyday line of romance” – you could add a surprise, a love note, or a voucher in each little box.
Want more? (because believe me I have plenty) – Leave me a comment if this makes you smile and I will post more later today… You might not want to miss the guns, the lip balm or the thermometer…
UPDATE: You can find the next lot of ”punny valentines” here. Remember, you asked for it.

The Year of The Dragon starts today – so, Happy New Year. I am a dragon so I’ve been looking forward to this year. Last dragon year I married my wonderful husband, and the one before that I graduated from college… so I’m expecting something big.
For those of you that are wondering I stole this… (from here)
People born in the Year of the Dragon share certain characteristics: Innovative, enterprising, self-assured, brave, passionate, conceited, and quick-tempered. The Dragons are the free spirits of the Chinese Zodiac. Restrictions blow out their creative spark that is ready to flame into life. So, they must be free and uninhibited. The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale – big ideas and extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn’t meant for show. Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful.
The Poster is from the moderngenes Etsy store. Check out their other stuff while you are there – some nice prints. My favorite is “Sky’s the Limit” – I love the simplicity.

It’s way to early to be thinking about Christmas but I just saw this and HAD to share before I get all jaded. It’s from John Lewis, a department store in the UK. Clever, creative and with that awww factor to get you in the mood for Christmas shopping. (and it’s a song originally by The Smiths, you can’t go wrong with that) – and just to really get in the Christmas spirit imagine the spoofs that will come soon!
