I have been noticeably absent from the blog lately, so instead of prolonging the silence I wanted to report that I will be taking somewhat of a blog staycation. I will still post, but with less frequency than previously and my posts will be smaller (quick little snippets of design, pet, products I love, etc…). So things may look and feel a little different!

Thank you to everyone who entered to win the Folk Note Card Set from Rifle Paper Co. All the entries were put into a list in the order they were received.  That list was then numbered and I used RANDOM.org to generate a random number.  The corresponding entry is the winner and that winner is ……………… Allyson Henry!

Thank you again to everyone who entered and congratulations to Allyson!

Giveaway is now closed – thank you for entering!

Happy New Year!

As you may be aware, I love Rifle Paper Co.‘s products (because of Anna Bond’s beautiful work) … one of the first blog posts I did was about Rifle Paper Co. and my post on Christmas cards turned into a Rifle love-fest.  I love Rifle Paper Co.’s note cards and this year I got Rifle Paper Co. custom illustrated Christmas cards.  Most recently I got their recipe card box, which I have had my eye since I first saw it.  If I had known about Rifle Paper Co. when I was planning my wedding, you better believe Anna would have done my wedding invites (although, I do love the letterpress company that did mine).

So, anyways, I decided I needed to do a Rifle Paper Co. giveaway and share the love with my blog readers.  I am giving away Rifle Paper Co.’s Folk Note Card Set (shown below).

To enter to win this set of beautiful note cards do at least one of the following (you can put in up to 3 entries):

1. Take a look at Rifle Paper Co.’s website and comment on this post about some of your favorites that you see on there.

2. If you are not yet a subscriber of the MOCHIE-ROO email list, sign up here.

3. Post (on Facebook) or tweet (on Twitter) this post and email me and let me know you have done so. (***Make sure if you hit the “Like” button at the top of this post, post a link on FB, or tweet this that you EMAIL ME, otherwise I have no way of counting your entry!***)

The giveaway opens today and the entry deadline is Monday, January 10th at 11:59 PM MST.  The winner will be randomly selected from all of the entries and will announced on Tuesday, January 11th.

The winner of the Avalisa print giveaway is Nicole!  Nicole and I have talked through email today and she chose the “Blue Puppy Love” print; and it is now on its way to her!  Thanks, Nicole!

Stay tuned for another giveaway featuring Rifle Paper Co. after the holidays!!!

Aloha from Phoenix!  I am in AZ visiting my sister (and pup nieces, Sweet Pea and Lucy) …  Just wanted to post Baxter’s portrait, which I finished last week.

A few reminders:

• With Christmas a week away, did you remember to get a holiday gift for your furry loved one(s)?  Check out Mocha’s gift guide for some great gift ideas.
• Comment on THIS blog post for a chance to win an avalisa 9×12″ fine art print!
• Use code “HAULIDAYS” during checkout on Chronicle Books’ website and receive 35% off plus free shipping (code is good through the 16th).  Chronicle Books sells Moleskin, so it is a good chance to just get your 2011 Moleskin planner!
• Weigh in and let me know which color scheme you like best for my vintage-style holiday card (comment below that post).

Well, I didn’t win, so one of you did not either.  But, Jessica Oleson of cakespy.com did!  She is an illustrator of all things sweet and then some.  Her blog is super-cute, and is worth a look.  So congratulations to her and her lucky reader.

Even though we did not win, we can still take advantage of the coupon code “HAULIDAYS” which will give 35% off  + free shipping through the 16th!  I have my eye on books from my list, as well as, some postcard sets.
