Is It Stationary or Stationery?  

Posted by: Confessions From A Work-At-Home Mom in ,

No matter how you spell it, it's A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

I am a huge fan of hand-written cards. There is nothing better than opening the mailbox and seeing a note scribbled by an old friend, or a post-card from a family member on vacation. With email, text messaging, and Facebook, I think letter writing is a lost art... and I'm launching a one-woman letter-writing campaign to bring it back to life.

So when one of my readers-- Amanda-- asked if I'd be willing to do a review (and giveaway!) from this spring's "Thirty-One" catalogue, I immediately went for the stationary (stationery? a high school English teacher once taught me a trick for remembering the correct spelling of this word... and for the life of me, I can't remember it, and I'm too lazy to look it up on Google).

Thirty-One has tons of different options for stationery (all can be customized with your name, monogram, whatever you like!), but I went with the "Organic Flower" pattern... which (conveniently enough, for my future-ordering needs!) also comes in a cute little tote! I got to send my first personalized note to Gina, my Queen For The Week from April 25th, when I sent her a $10 Starbucks gift card! Since then, I've used about a dozen more... with rave reviews (by me and the recipient!).

Now, you can win a $25 gift certificate to Thirty-One-- courtesy of Amanda!

Here's how to enter:

1) Be a follower of this blog
2) Add my main blog button to your blog's home page
3) Go to "Amanda's Thirty-One site" and tell me which product you'd buy with your gift certificate

That's it!

Remember, you must leave a separate comment for each entry, otherwise it will not count!

This giveaway will end on Sunday, May 16th at 12pm. I'll announce the winner later that day.

I did receive a set of Organic Flower stationery from Thirty-One-- courtesy of Amanda-- for the purpose of this review/giveaway. The winner will be selected using Random.org. Sorry, U.S. and Canadian residents only.

Ack! I totally forgot to e-mail you. Preggo brain strikes again. I got it, and I LOVED the card!!! I am so sorry. Bad Queen behavior. :(

I'd have to go with some notecards too...I still send lots of handwritten notes and even have a cute little organizer book to store all of my stationary in.

So probably the "I'm a hoot owl" stationary.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! :)

I'm a follower :) Now I just need to figure out which one I should get.

For hope of not sounding wrong, I think stationary means to stAY in one place and stationary is to writE on. Maybe.

(looking at google to compare...whoohoo I'm right!)

I <3 the "Newport Blooms" stationery! And....like 90% of all the bags in the catalog :) and like 90% of the rest of the catalog, haha...I'm doomed :)

I'm a follower of your blog. The art of handwritten notes is going by the way side. One reason I still try to send out personalized Christmas cards every year.

Im a new follower too!! :-) and i have your button now on my page!

I think i like the hobo bag.. and all of that stationary.. it would be hard for me to pick :-)

Of course I am a follower. We learned that stationery with an "E" as in "letter" is the kind you write on. That's my memory trick. And I just wrote a post about expensive greeting cards today. I should have gone on to say how much I love a hand written note, because I do. These are the perfect solution! Thanks for the chance to win!!

I'm with you, by the way, I love their bags, but I adore the stationery! That'd be my pick!

I love stationery!!! I think its ery???
I follow your blog ;)

You are on my blog list and I have your button!

all her bags are super cute ...I need a new beach bag or the childs back pack was cute!

Her site seems to be having problems, because I can't view the stationery but I LOVE personalized note cards!

I just discovered 31 and I LOVE IT! I'm definitely a follower of yours!

And I can't see the stationary either, but I did see it in a catalog last week and that is what I would pick with my gift card!
