Merci Beaucoup Note Cards

I've been slowly attempting to design some note cards for our line and I am really happy with how these turned out!! Our merci beaucoup note cards!

Oh la la! These thank you notes are so adorable!! Simple, stylish, and made from recycled paper, these note cards are printed with "merci beaucoup" in our typewriter font. Comes with kraft brown envelopes as well!

Well that's just a sampling of some of our new items. Oh! And if you are thinking about getting some DipDaDip items as Christmas gifts, remember to order early! I am expecting a baby soon and will need the extra lead time amidst the holiday madness. I want to make sure you get your goodies in time for Christmas!

Office Makeover - Round 2

Recently I blogged about clean and understated workspaces. This really inspired me to clear out the clutter in my own space and attempt to create a visually clean and sophisticated office. Since I work from home running my little handmade business, DipDaDip Design, I desperately need a place that is inviting and motivates me to get some work done. There's nothing more overwhelming than building a small business...and wherever you get your work done, I believe it has to be comfortable and suitable to your unique personality and work style. Working in a dining room/sunroom/office like I do makes this even more of a challenge. The space has to be conducive to a lot of activities!

Sorry I don't have many before pictures, but if you're curious as to what it looked liked before, this post has a glimpse. It was cute and colorful, but not as clean and sophisticated as I am now aiming for.

My New Space!

Pens, notepads, notecards, and other essentials are easy to get to. Acrylic storage container and flower vase from Walmart. Business card holder is a demitasse saucer I already owned! :) Flowers from local farmer's market! Lovely!

"Metropolitain" canvas sign from Hobby Lobby. Screensaver is Fliqlo clock and can be downloaded here.

This fun word cloud art is something I made online at Wordle.net. Paste text from anywhere into their generator and you get easy, printable art for your home. I took text from DipDaDip's website and I must say, just looking at those words is pretty inspiring to me.
