I am a sucker for office supplies and paper goods. I have drawers full of pens, pencils, sticky notes, notecards, markers, scissors, etc. I have no idea what draws me in, but this obsession of mine is slowly taking over not only my desk, but the drawers in my kitchen. I think part of the reason for the plethora of pens, scissors and paper in my house is that I grew up in a house quite the opposite. If you needed to write down a phone number or a message, you would have to search and search for a pen and paper to write on. And, if you were having a really lucky day, the pen you would actually find would work! Imagine that!
Now that this obsession is out in the open, it will come to no surprise to you all that when I stumbled upon the website of Nicole Howard, I fell in love. Nicole is the owner and designer for Miss ‘N Nick Designs. Her stationary designs are sophisticated, yet whimsical. The cupcake note cards got my attention right away… what a perfect little note card to send out to all of your foodie and non-foodie friends! This is why I chose the Box of 10 Cupcakes Note Cards as the 2nd Dine and Dish Giveaway.
If you are interested in participating, simply leave a comment (please include your email address and link to your blog in the contact form) on this post by midnight CST on Saturday, May 31st. If you don’t have a blog, leave a comment and email me with a link to your favorite blog… just to control trolls. The random drawing will take place on June 1st and the winner will be announced sometime that day.
While you are taking a look at Miss ‘N Nick Designs, head on over to Nicole’s food blog too. Her blog, Art and Ailoi ( a blog about art, food, and the art of food) has quickly become a favorite!
Thanks for entering and good luck!
Kristen, I totally understand your obsession. I love pens, pencils, paper, etc, and have loved that stuff forever! I remember, as a teen, coming home with yet another set of pens and my Dad saying: “What’re you going to do with all of those, you can only use one at a time!” lol! Those note cards are so cute, I’m heading over to Miss ‘n Nick Designs right now! 🙂
I totally understand your obsession. I am like that about lots of things! Thanks for introducing us to this site. The stationery looks so adorable!
I adore cute notepads and would have more if I could! I’d love to use those cute cupcake notes!
I’ll be visiting that sit to increase my supply even if I donnt win your giveaway!
I have a friend who “collects” cards and the like. This site could be good for me to browse when looking for a gift for her!
What cute notecards. I find it interesting you would mention trolls. My blog persona is “troll formerly known as yooper” 🙂
What adorable notecards! I too, have an obsession with office supplies and many other things that occupy every square inch of my house. Thanks for sharing and I love your blog!

My office supply obsession focuses on mostly pens and notecards. I can’t get enough!

I tried to send you a blog link thru your contact form–but that didn’t seem to work– could not find another email address for you. So here is a link to one blog I visit sometimes.

i have an entire desk drawer devoted to stationary and the like. it’s an obsession.
This is my first time commenting. I found your blog through Tastespotting and I’m really enjoying it. The notecards are adorable!
What a nice blog. I am enjoying your links also. I had to laugh when i read about your obsession. I love paper and crayons and markers esp. I draw my patterns in crayon just to get to use them . I am young at heart if not in body 😛
Her creations are stunning, Kristen!
I know what you mean … I have more writing instruments than I can use in a lifetime 😉 *Thanks* for the giveaway!
Cute, cute, cute!
They look so cute!!
Those are the cutest not cards ever. I am definately in this one. I am all about cards of any kind. I am a firm supporter of the postal service. Nothing says it better than a hand written note or letter.
Sucker holding hand up! I am one too. I recently went to a garage sale and bought a pot full of pens for $1. Best buy of the day!
Cute cards
I have to admit my obsession is pens. My husband gives me crap about it constantly and hides ALL of his pens because he thinks I will steal each and every one. Of course I wouldn’t, but oh well. Great give away! The cards are adorable!
Those are adorable!! I keep a stash of notecards at home and at work. The whole office knows where to come and find a card!
Thanks for the fun giveaway.
I can’t stand it when I can’t find a pen…or worse…when I find a pen but the ink won’t work.
I’d love to enter.
The cocktail note cards are pretty cute too!
I love stationery, too–I have a hard time letting go of cute note cards, even though their purpose is to be written upon and mailed…. Eek!
Those note cards are as cute as, well, as cupcakes! 🙂
I can’t help but ask to be entered!
Cute cards, count me in for the drawing!
I used to share your obsession with pens and office supplies, but somehow got over it. At this stage in life, I’m trying to simplify as much as I can, except the kitchen that is.
I like the new look of your blog Kristen!
Fabulous! Love your blog; but I didn’t think I could list yours.
Aw, what wonderful, original cards! The cupcakes are great for us foodies. I like the bathers too, very cute.
Count me in for the drawing!
I happened upon your site from tastespotting- I would love to be entered in your contest 🙂
I work in a cubicle, so have quite a few supplies. LOVE them! The more colorful the better. And I also use them to make hand-made cards! 🙂 Please pick me! (Fingers crossed)
Those are some adorable note cards!
