Nut and Bee

January 08, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

Nut and Bee is a collection of original character illustrations produced by Annette Lauder, and I really dig their unique combination of ultra cute illustrations with a sometimes sly sense of humor. Check out the guinea pig a-go-go sticker sacks (above) and the angry asparagus mob bookplates (below). Who knew that asparagus had such a temper?

Just Organize Your Stuff (JOYS)

January 02, 2007 // kristen // 0 replies

Welcome to 2007! I try not to set too many New Year’s resolutions for myself, but something that I usually have on my mind around this time of the year is organization. I’ve gotten better at being organized over the past few years, but I’m still lacking a cohesive system to organize all of the different aspects of my daily life.

However, I think I’ve found the answer to all of my organizationally-challenged prayers in Just Organize Your Stuff (JOYS). This is the most stylish and comprehensive organizational system that I think I’ve ever seen. JOYS offers both notebook and filing organization systems, and the beautiful graphic design and rainbow color scheme — what can I say? I grew up in the ’80s, so I’m a sucker for rainbows — are motivational in and of themselves.

Also, check out the JOYS website for articles on organizing your life. They’re very motivational!
