Christmas is Just Around the Corner

Tomorrow is the start of the "Ber" months.  Here in the Philippines, it's the unofficial start of the Christmas season.  Oh yes, we celebrate Christmas the longest among the other countries :-)  And for good reason, Filipinos love to celebrate and with it comes the gift giving and sharing of Christmas joys.  Filipinos also love spending time with extended families and close friends.  The 1st of September is also the day that you'll start to hear Christmas songs being played on various radio stations, so, it's really "beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go!" It adds to the joyous feeling, believe me!

New Items

Lately, I've been busy with the new designs for my notepads. I also introduced my new product, the MATCHBOOK  NOTEPAD.  These are great because you can easily put them inside your purse or bag, and you can use them to jot down important notes, or contact numbers of people you meet.  These are also great as giveaways for weddings, birthdays, or your kids' teachers.  

Hello Again!

I think i've been neglecting this blog. I haven't much time lately to update my Multiply site, much less this blog.  But I know I should now focus on posting regular updates. Actually, I'm working on new designs and samples to post to my Multiply site, and hopefully, i'll be able to finish them in 2 weeks' time.  So, watch out for my updates!

Coming up with Gift Sets

I got a lot of inquiries on whether I'll offer gift sets in my store.  So, last weekend, I checked on the packaging that I can use for the gift sets, and right now I'm just thinking of the combinations that I will put inside the boxes. 

I'm thinking of the 8x5 notepads, 4x5 notepads, some gift tags and a pen.  It can also be 4x5 notepads, gift tags, notecards/flatcards, and a pen.  I'm also open to suggestions, just let me know what combination you need and I'll give you the cost.

Stick Figures

Stick figures are really cute for notepads, so, I decided to add them to my designs.  You might want to check them out in my site.  They're great not only for notepads but also for invitations and notecards as well.  Actually, just about anything, you can even have it on your gift tags.  So, be sure to check them out, they're so cute!

Late Nights

My  Multiply store has been around for quite some time now, but it's only this year that I really put my heart into it.  I've been promoting it lately and have been rewarded with a steady increase in visitors who leave comments as well as personal messages.  I also concentrated on adding more business contacts.  My efforts paid off because I now have several orders to fill-up.  I'm so happy although I have to sleep late for several nights in a row just to be able to finish the items on time.

I hope business will continue to improve, as I plan to add more items, layouts and designs to my albums.

Are You Scouting for Christmas Giveaways?

Christmas is just around the corner!  Most of you are busy looking for gifts for your loved ones.  In finding gifts for Christmas, you wouldn't go wrong in giving personalized gifts  because these will surely be well-appreciated by your friends and loved ones.  Most people love seeing their names printed on the gifts that they receive, like, coffee mugs, frames, towels, caps, or, well, notepads :-)  

So, for the coming Christmas season, start early, be ready, and make sure that your friends feel special by giving them personalized gifts.

Wedding Notepads

Are you getting married soon, and busy with the preparations for your wedding?  I'm sure, you're having a difficult time thinking of giveaways for your guests, so, why not give them personalized notepads with cute cliparts of newly-wed couples? 


If you're not planning your own wedding, but you're attending a wedding of a friend or a relative, giving these notepads as gifts will also be very well appreciated.

These are the new items in my Multiply store. Just spare a few minutes to visit and browse through my new designs.  

Personalized Notebooks

 I'm sure you'll love my new items in my store, the Personalized Notebooks!  It's very ideal as giveaways for your child's birthday party, or as gifts to your child's friends on their birthdays or for the coming Christmas season.

Thinking of an Early Christmas Sale

Christmas is just around the corner, one more month and the Ber season starts.  Here in the Philippines, September is the time when you start to hear Christmas carols being played on the radio. So, since it's just one month to go, I'm thinking of having Christmas in September sale.  

Let me brainstorm on it, and I'll let you know the details.  Thanks for dropping by!

An Even More Personalized Tag for You

If you want your tags to be even more personalized, I have something different to offer you.  These are tags with cut out names, and you can choose from several fonts that can be possibly used for my machine.

The possibilities are endless, the only limit would be your creativity in coming up with ideas.

Cupcake Wrappers, Anyone?

Cupcakes have been popular in birthday parties recently.  There are lots of flavors and designs to choose from, and they're really cute and you almost wouldn't want to eat them.  So, you were probably thinking, is there a better way of presenting it to your guests, other than it's usual wrapper?  

Solution:  Why not have cupcake wrappers that are sure to impress your guests?   I'm now introducing to you the latest in the line of products that my store offers, the Cupcake Wrappers!

 

These are not meant to replace the original wrapper of your cupcake, you just need to wrap it around the cupcake for additional design and presentation.  These are shipped flat, with a double adhesive tape for easy assembly.  I'm sure your guests will love them!

Kids' Personalized Notepads

Kids just love to doodle, and they do it on anywhere that they can put their hands on. And for them, it will be a lot more fun if you provide them with their very own notepads with their name printed on it. They will surely appreciate it and you will be rewarded with lots of hugs and kisses.

Need more ideas?  On your kid's next birthday party, surprise your guests with their own personalized notepads! They will surely remember your kid's party every time they write on their notepads. You can provide me with the names of your guests and I will gladly print them on each of your notepads. 

For Your Kid's Next Birthday Party

Why don't you give personalized notepads as  giveaways for your kid's next birthday party?  It will be a little bit unique, and your guests will surely love it. The kids will have something to draw on, or to write short notes on, or for moms to write their to-dos on.  

More designs are in my Multiply store, so be sure to visit it. And if you have any design in mind, just let me know and I'll see what I can do about it.

More Personalized Notepads for You

I have made a few more layouts for personalized notepads, and this time, instead of putting just my name on it, I've put different names which can also serve as the template ID just in case you want to order any of it.  That's for easy reference  :)  I haven't had any progress yet with the other items that I offer, like the gift tags and personalized tags, hopefully this weekend I can prepare more samples.

Personalized calendars are also on my working table, and I'm still thinking of nice layouts and templates for them.  I should be able to come up with layouts for calendars by this month in preparation for the Christmas season.

Too many things to do and too many ideas on my mind, the problem is how I can squeeze it in between my being a working mom and a homemaker.  But for the meantime, here are more notepad layouts for you.

More new designs are in my Multiply Store, so, hopefully, you'll find time to visit my store.  Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
