Head on over to her shop to check it out yourself!

I’ve taken many virtual shopping trips to the Nice Package store.  Their little goodies are just so nice to have on hand when you’re looking to put the perfect final touch on a gift or craft.

Oh the things I could create with this printable tag set!

And if you’re loving the look of the little ribbon “buttons” below … there’s a nice tutorial on how to put it together.

Looking for a new kind of Valentine’s Day card?  Look no further than Paper Wheel Press.  How awesome are these cards?

Don’t know ’bout you, but I know someone who’ll be getting the “I love you more than this {iPhone}” beauty!  And for you iPhone addicts folks … you know that’s some serious lovin’ goin’ down!

It’s available at cardstore.com … you can personalize it if you’re lame like that or order as is in all it’s 80′s glory!

And to bring it all home for you … I give you … the theme song from the spinoff of the century {at least in my preteen fantasies} …

I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love … and I don’t care who knows it!  ;)

Is this packaging not beautiful … perfect, perfect, perfect to create just about anything you wish for the upcoming Valentine’s holiday … and beyond!

And today, they posted this beautiful {free} downloadable goodie!  Check it out!

Thank you Nice Package for continuing to inspire me!

LOVE!  Serious love!

Oh how I wish I had some time on my hands right now to make these beauties!  Full instructions and the download to each month can be found here.

A home letterpress machine … really?!?  I’m super curious, that’s for sure.

But as a past stationery shop owner … my heart doesn’t feel right doing this at home.  What about all the designers out there with the real deal?  Working hard on the old-time machines?

Doesn’t this little, do-it-yourself machine cheapen the thrill your finger feels as it fondles that ever-so-gently-kissed indent on the most luxurious of papers?

And yeah … I’m freaky like that.

I think these gift sets are the best!  You can even personalize the stationery.

Some possible gifting recipients … babysitter or daycare, teachers, Sunday school teacher, hair stylist, sister-in-law … maybe even Gammy {my new favorite word for Grandma}.

And if you’ve not seen Nicole’s shop or blog … you best take a look-see!  She’s got the most amazing design ideas on her blog … not to mention some cute photos of her new little, Eleanor.

Enjoy!
