Stop and Smell the Roses

June 25, 2013 Samantha Schwikkard

Sometimes life gets busy . . . real busy, and we don’t know if we are coming or going.

It’s at times like these that it’s good to take a minute, take a breather and enjoy the pleasures in life and the things we are grateful for.

If you are feeling a bit stressed, over worked or overwhelmed here’s a gentle reminder to, “Stop and Smell the Roses” – a saying my best friend Amy and I often use.

Download and print our poster, pop it into a frame and place it in a space that you’ll see it often. Sized to fit a frame of 10cmx15cm or 13cmx18cm.

OR Download our Digital Wallpaper and load it as your desktop screensaver.

Enjoy all the moments in life, be present and remember that the journey is as important as the final goal – (a little advice I know I could personally take).

Thank you Blackframe Photography for the gorgeous pics. Grab a cup of tea, sit down, relax and scroll the beautiful photographs on their blog.

Have a happy day smelling life’s roses!

Love Sam

Some Bunny Loves You : Easter Printable

Tomorrow is Easter Friday and a reminder to us of pure love.

It is also the perfect time to take a minute to let your kids, family and friends know that you cherish and love them.

Simply download our "some bunny loves you" free printable, trim along the crop lines, fold and write your special words inside. Pop into a C6 envelope or bitty bag and attach to a box of Easter Eggs or a chocolate bunny. You can even bake these scrumptious Hot Cross Buns and give one of our cards alongside a homemade treat.

These cards are available in mint, pink, grey and purple.

A very big thank you to Andre and Maritsa from Blackframe Photography for once again working with us to capture all the photographs in this post and for editing them so beautifully. Please hop on over to their blog to see more of their fabulous photography.

Happy Family Time & Easter Egg Hunting,

love Sam

Pretty Paperwork for 2013

February 4, 2013 ELEPHANTSHOE

Take a look at the post we put together earlier this year for theprettyblog DIY.

The New Year has begun and I like many of us have a few New Years resolutions. A high priority on my list is to keep all our important documents for both our home & our business organised.

Now, this can be a difficult resolution to keep if administration is not your thing, hopefully the labels we have designed and made available for download will help you to categorize and keep your documents together in a pretty filing system. The best part is when you are looking for a specific piece of paper work you are more likely to find it.

Receipts are also one of those pesky little items that get hidden in drawers, in folders and you may just find one washed up in the back of your jeans pocket. With this in mind we came up with an idea at our office to pop all the receipts we collect during the month into a large consol cookie jar ready to file at month end. Print out a button to label both your personal and business receipt jars.
