<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you in <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/gone-girl-gillian-flynn/1105608095?ean=9780553418361" target="_blank">Gone Girl</a> withdrawal, I have the perfect book pick for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Released today, <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-girl-on-the-train-paula-hawkins/1119671425?ean=9781594633669" target="_blank">The Girl on the Train</a> by Paula Hawkins is a UK thriller that will leave you captivated, and up past your bedtime. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Told from three different perspectives, this twisty psychological page-turner will leave you with more questions than answers. The book begins with the perspective of Rachel, an overweight, alcoholic, depressed soul. Her daily commutes to London take her past her former house she shared with her ex-husband, who still lives there, but now with his ex-mistress/current wife and child. She observes her old house and the stretch of nearby homes on her daily commute, and becomes obsessed with the "perfect" neighbors down the street. One day, Rachel observes something at the neighbors house and becomes entangled in the disappearance of the "perfect" wife shes been observing every day. What ensues is complicated, unsure, and as highly unreliable as each of the narrators. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book left me with many questions and one final thought: <i>You Never Know What...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never mind, I'll let you finish that thought once you finish reading this book.</div>

Amy turned thirty. Which meant time for a party.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The custom birthday invitations were designed by the birthday girl herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heavy cotton stock with a custom brand and printed in navy ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wrapped in a denim (Levi's, no less) and jute band</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and mailed off in a fantastically thick kraft envelope.<br />

The details were true to Amy - and her brand.<br />
Literally.<br />
The napkins featured her custom brand.<br />
And she received a custom branded belt buckle as her first birthday gift.<br />

And in true Amy fashion, the requested attire was Canadian tuxedo.</div>
<div>
Yes, we do have some good old Canadian roots.</div>
<div>
Guests obliged and we had ourselves a bona fide</div>

Which was not really the intention, but that's sure what it looked like.</div>

Fathers to other children we would love to call our very own. </div>

Married by the river in Aspen on a classically Colorado July afternoon.</div>

We love follow-up from our clients. And we especially love photos from their events that show our custom designed wedding invitations, party invites and paper goods in action. This one is from a bride and groom for whom we designed a custom BBQ invitation. The colors are still on trend a year later - a bold green and navy blue with neutrals. How inviting.<br />

There are times when we need to call on our longitude and latitude skills to set up a custom map for an event or occasion. Whether it's a wedding timeline or a group scavenger hunt around town. Or even a map to chronicle first year travels for a newlywed couple or to locate our own favorite Aspen spots, each map is certainly unique. We've started branching out beyond Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley into other cities and states - New York, Boston, Manchester, Chicago. Our clients have moved and traveled (sometimes far) beyond Colorado.</div>

Starting at the end of May, we'll be embarking on a four week map making class to help broaden our horizons and look at topography and geography from a new persepctive. Does the thought of map making in a class setting get you excited too?! If so, <a href="http://skl.sh/13hSnDE" target="_blank">join us here</a> at Skillshare for the <i>Map Making: Learning to Communicate Places Beautifully</i> class. We're thinking of a mapping out a great trip we took through Spain! Whether or not you join us, we're sure we'll intersect with most of you at some point. <i>Oh, the map puns could go on an on...</i></div>

Just a reminder that Mother's Day is this Sunday! For all the moms out there, we wish you a fantastic day. And we wish all the grandmothers, stepmothers, mother-in-laws, godmothers, aunts, and faux mothers a happy day too. For the mom's of little ones, we wish you an <i>especially</i> restful day...</div>

We are fortunate to have the best of the Roaring Fork Valley right out our front door. One of those 'bests' being Aspen. As winter eases into spring we eagerly await the arrival of summer in town. And we prepare for days full of festivals and music. Hikes and camping. Shopping strolls and dinners on the patio. Good food and great wine. Weddings and sporting events. Hot air balloons and gondola rides. Friends and family visiting. And tourists - yes, we look forward to the visitors from afar. After all, this place is too great to not share. For those that can't make it here this year, at least this time lapse video from a local Basalt-ine will give you a few minutes of what we look forward to enjoying all summer long.</div>

From Mrs. Ballangee in first grade to Mrs. Beaton in fifth grade to Professor Kubzansky in college. They shaped us and educated us and helped us during the most formative years of our lives in ways we cannot even begin to describe. The teacher we are most thankful for, however, is our mom. A first and second grade educator for so many years - not only in the classroom but in the home as well! We owe her thanks each and every day.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Day today, we thought we'd share a simple, yet beautiful idea on how your child can thank their teachers. This year we gathered up the class list and emailed the parents asking each child to bring in a fresh bloom for each of their teachers. The end result is a bouquet as unique as the children in the class! :: give thanks ::</div>

Everything <a href="http://www.expressyourselfbasalt.com/" target="_blank">we sell</a>, we love. Take the bkr bottle for example, these water bottles are not only functional but beautiful. We have multiple bkr's in our kitchens and are always wondering what color we are going to buy next. These bottles fit perfectly in our cup holders, never tip over, are easy to carry with the loop top, come in beautiful colors and never, ever taste funky. Because they are made with glass you can put orange juice in one day and water the next and never taste yesterday's breakfast. Ever. You can also drop them on the sidewalk (often) and they come out unscathed (although we wouldn't recommend purposely trying this!). We have been selling these beauties for a couple years now and are excited to finally see some of our favorite magazines jump on board the bkr wagon. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have been busy these first few weeks of 2013. In mid-January, we moved from our old store to a new space just up the street. Only 195 steps away to be exact. With more than double the space, we have successfully managed to spread out, create a cozy fireplace seating area (the husband drop-off) and we now have a fantastic studio in the back of the store. The studio space allows us room to work one-on-one with clients and fulfill all the creative custom paper goods orders. We have theHELLOtote on display as well so that you can easily see the options for creating a custom welcome bag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New space = happy place.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have had a year of big changes in 2012 and 2013 is looking even bigger and brighter and full of amazing opportunities. While life with <a href="http://www.expressyourselfbasalt.com/" target="_blank">Express Yourself</a> and <a href="http://www.thehellotote.com/" target="_blank">theHELLOtote</a> is busy, whether in Denver or Basalt, I have to be honest that we (my sis and I) desire to get out of our comfort zone just a bit more. We need to be inspired so that we can be inspiring to others. We need to branch out and network and be prepared for upcoming changes and what we hope are amazing things to come our way. This need to get out more became apparent when I recently realized my four-year old has acquired more frequent flier miles than I have in the past twelve months. And <i>especially</i> so when I look at our blog posts and realize I have not put <i>anything</i> up since July. It's a sad situation, really.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some might say that <a href="http://bigthink.com/ideafeed/want-to-get-inspired-do-something-boring" target="_blank">to get inspired you need to be bored</a>, while others suggest that anyone can be more creative if they <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/health/mind-mood/how-to-be-creative-00100000079583/" target="_blank">just tap into it</a>. One has to admire all the viewpoints, however I really have my heart set on the <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/alt-design-summit-slc-folder/" target="_blank">Alt Summit in Salt Lake City</a>. It is so amazing and inspiring just to read about the bloggers and collaborators from last year and we would l.o.v.e. to actually attend. Not only is Alt SLC the perfect time of year (hello new year, hello new ideas) but it happens to fall right after my birthday (a composite number that I shall not reveal). And it's the winter and I've always wanted to ski in Park City. And did I mention a relative lives nearby that just bought a new house that I would love to visit?!? It's meant to be, really. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Except for the fact it is sold out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, while I am currently here ---> in Colorado, I'll just keep dreaming about being there ---> in SLC. And of course, I will keep up with the Alt actions from afar. In my pajamas. While my four-year old jaunts off with her grandmother on yet another fun trip.</div>

Inspired by a friend's bus birthday for her daughter's third birthday (we'll share that one tomorrow!) - we set up a fun, bus themed party for our oldest daughter last weekend. She had fifteen friends and classmates come over for a Fun Bus party. The Fun Bus has mats, swings, and lots of gymnastics items inside and two instructors kept the kids happily entertained for a whole hour. All we had to do was put together the decorations and prep some lunch and birthday treats for the kids and sit back and wait for the bus to arrive on the party day. One of the easiest parties ever!</div>

Lunch was served up snack-size style in ice cube trays. <span style="background-color: white;">With that many kids, it was easier to give them a little bit of everything to please any and all picky palettes. We included: corn, yogurt covered raisins, goldfish, strawberries, edamame, grapes, teddy grahams, apples, peas, pirate's booty, turkey, pineapple, blueberries and pretzels.</span></div>

Lenny & Eva, salvaged sentiments, are in store now. Leather wraps and necklaces, with sentiments and charms. Clever, interchangeable, surely sentimental and entirely personal. The combinations and options are practically endless. We love this quote above: " The greatest thing she learned is that there's no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one." We agree.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
