For Paper Lovers

Over the summer I discovered Flow, a book/magazine/collection meant for paper lovers like me (thank you, Barnes and Noble.) It's packed with so much stuff I can't possibly cover it all, but I'll try.

Basically it's 300+ pages of writing papers, tags, cards, stickers, wrapping paper, envelopes, planner pages, paper to make dimensional projects, several note pads, mini posters, a reading poster, a journal with a cover you can customize and even some paper dolls. There are themes to each section (Time to Slow Down, Time to Plan and Time to Play) and images and designs everywhere to inspire you.

Postcards, too.

A pop-up card (I love these.)

Tissue paper for wrapping.

The little journal.

A record player-shaped notepad.

Flow is not cheap ($33.99 US) but it's a great value when you think about what you pay for all of the above separately. The popup cards I buy at Disney Springs run about $13.00 each, for example. It's also a book of inspiration, at least for me. I am still able to hand write letters, and I'd like to do more of that. I would love to make my own desk planner for next year, and the pages for that are in Flow. There are tons of ideas I've gotten just thumbing through the book. Highly recommend this book to all paper lovers looking for some fresh supplies and lots of creative designs.

Make It Yourself

As we head into December, here are ten ideas for easy handmade gifts: Cookie Exchange: If you live close to your friends invite them over for a cookie exchange. Basically everyone bakes a set amount of their favorite cookies, and these are exchanged at the gathering by lottery, sharing a little from each batch with everyone, or however you want to do it. You can also exchange recipes, too. My neighbor did this once and it was wonderful. Favorite Recipe Cookbook : For my favorite person I found a copy of my favorite cookbook from a vintage bookseller (yes, I am that old) and went through it making notes on all the recipes I used, how I tweaked them, etc. Ornament: There are probably a million free tutorials on how to make your own holiday ornaments, so do some research online. I like to make hanging pomanders , which smell heavenly and are biodegradable after the holidays. Mug Rugs: If you sew, making up a set of mug rugs is simple and easy; I add these every year to my ...

Fasten Your Seatbelt

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.
