We had our annual office Valentine’s Day party yesterday afternoon. Everyone decorated a brown paper bag which coordinated perfectly with each person’s personality. There were lots of hearts and flowers along with college teams, favorite celebs and even dinosaurs. We even brought valentines reminiscent of elementary school to put in the bags!
After a long day of work, we settled down in the conference room with an array of homemade sugar cookies, icing and food coloring. We each decorated several cookies, but eventually had to pick one to enter into the decorating contest. Anna’s cookie was the winner by a landslide. Her cookie was a cookie valentine envelope with stamp.
We also had a contest for Best Tasting Cookie and the winner was Cheryl:
We enjoyed getting to all be together and do something out of the ordinary. We all enjoyed our fair amount of sugar and enjoyed some laughs in the process.

As you may have guessed, we love stationery. We love what it represents: the care and thought and planning put into ordering invitations, the personal touch and time taken to write a thank you note, the joy of sharing and receiving letters and cards and photographs during the holiday season. Who doesn’t love getting real…
