Stationery/Art

• Enter to win a sketch by Aisazia on her blog, Ethereal Voices! You could be the very lucky owner of an original piece of work like this perfect sketch of Tyco! (Except you can't have Tyco. But the sketches are great.)
• I'm sure by now, most of you have seen the artist highlight at JetPens, but if you haven't, you really should go have a look at Gentian's beautiful work, and see the tools she uses to create them! (And then get some for yourself and pretend you are awesome too. Not that I'm going to do this or anything.)
• A great post on Pentorium on music nibs!
• Cable Drop cable management nubs at Office Supply Geek. I have a set of these (though I prefer the colors I have more...) and I love them to pieces. I guess I should review them!!
• Paper art that leaves me speechless. It's beautiful and colorful.

Photography

• Well, as if I wasn't already scared of natural disasters enough - these incredible pictures of violent storms have freaked me out even more. 
• Super cool multiple exposure portraits, at Colossal (yes. I love Colossal). 

Journaling

• I like to read these Everyday Life Lessons regularly, and sometimes jot them down in my journal, especially if it's a quote or thought that stands out to me. Little reminders are good. 

Food

• I admit it, I enjoy the Harry Potter series (down with Twilight!), and I would drool at the thought of the "butterbeer". Now I can have my butterbeer and eat it too! Amy's Bites has a recipe for Butter Beer Cupcakes, although if we try this, we will use some better quality ingredients. Like this root beer, instead of A&W Root Beer (which is crap compared to Virgil's - check out the difference in the ingredients!!). 

Other

• I think I may need to get rid of my Facebook account. Even though I only use it for this blog... sigh. I've always been on the fence about Facebook but this recent article is really making me think.
