Paper Around The Web, Mega Vacation Edition

I’m headed off to the Outer Banks for a week for a friend’s wedding, and instead of scheduling posts throughout the week and taking the chance for something wonky to happen with my blog’s posting system, I decided to put together a super mega links edition of Paper on the Web for you to peruse while I’m gone. So, sit back, grab some popcorn (or your preferred snack), and take a gander at all of the paper-related fabulousness that’s been happening lately. I’ll see you back here on the 23rd!

Links below the images are listed from top to bottom and left to right:
