Ever wonder what our buying trips are like? Well, check out this video to get a glimpse of just how much we have to ponder, enjoy and purchase so that our customers (you!) can be on the cutting-edge of stationery sophistication and authentic and lively greetings.
Lucky Onion = Lucky Us
Coming soon to Express Yourself!
Introducing the Seeded Collection by Lucky Onion. A Colorado company that we are excited to offer in store! 26 great designs. Options to print on 100% recycled papers, natural hemp papers, or biodegradable pulp paper embedded with flower seeds. Your guests can be invited in style and then watch your love grow in their very own backyard! Prices start at just over $600 for 100 invitation sets. Perfect for weddings, celebrations and those milestone birthdays. We adore this line and are looking forward to launching these beautiful designs soon! Visit us or call us for more details!
Basalt Wedding
Just because we are slightly obsessed with paper does not mean we cannot appreciate a simply adorable wedding save the date done in video format, found via Once Wed. Especially when the wedding was practically in our backyard!
After the video, check out Once Wed for more scoop on the Colorado mountaintop wedding. Love! Also check out the event planner's take on the wedding and last, but not least, what the photographer had to say...and show...for the day. Beautiful!
Rules Rule
Every once in a while, we come across rules for different purposes and reasons. Rules of the road. Etiquette rules. Rules to live a happy life. This week our favorite set (if you can call it that...it is very extensive) comes in the form of a website called 1001 rules for my unborn son. Check it out. You'll be inspired, entertained and intrigued to come up with some of your own rules.
Find That Dog!
We got a call today from a dog finding service and sadly, one of our neighbors has a missing dog. We loved that this service calls the neighborhood to alert us all of the lost dog. We also love this new pet product that keeps us assured in knowing our dogs (or cats) info is secure...all in a nifty USB device they can wear on their collar.
The Flexi PC Pet ID Tag stores all of your pet's vitals in the USB device. This water and shock proof device allows anyone with a computer to plug and play the information on your pet. It is so nice to know your pet can be safe and sound if lost and then found.
An Afternoon for Lemonade
Make this delicious raspberry lemonade, kick back on the back porch and then decide which invite is best for that late summer get together you've been meaning to plan.
All invitations by Inviting Company and available for purchase at Express Yourself!
Baptism Brunch
Out littlest members of Express Yourself were recently baptized, surrounded by family and friends from near and far. It was such a blessing to have a great gathering and a delightfully delicious way to celebrate the Summer! Here is a sampling of the day, including some delectable treats and sweets by Mandi Evans that we enjoyed during our Baptism Brunch.

On the Table Tonight
We love pizza. A lot. But we crave a lighter, fresher version to keep us satisfied this season. Here is a recipe from Health magazine for a great skinny pizza. The recipe is so slim, you can even have a glass of wine tonight to pair with this meal. Click here for the full recipe!
