About b.wise papers

It all started on a school bus. My 7-year-old self traded a brand-new heart hair clip for a tattered notepad. How could I pass up all that paper? I'm a mom of 3 and a professor's wife, who thinks good typography and beautiful photos will never lose their magic. I also think it would be impossible to ever have too many days at the beach or freshly sharpened pencils or books you can't put down. Or hand addressed envelopes in my mailbox.

Hi, Alston! Just wanted to let you know that I ordered 4 of your "We Ate Cake" journals with my Trunk Show Host Certificate recently - I think they are perfect gifts! Didn't want you to be disappointed that there is no revenue associated with that purchase when you get your quarterly statement...

Hi Alston! I noticed that your Stock the Bag design had a thin line around the white background. I assume you put it in because of the drop shadow issue so i just wanted to let you know Minted fixed the drop shadow thing this morning so you might want to try it out. :o) I'm so glad they fixed it because it was bothering me. Oh, and as a side note, thank so much for your sweet note about my holiday card. It definitely put a smile on my face when I got that note. :o)

Thank you so much, Alston! I adore your designs, and have swooned over your Merry Ribbon lettering (among the many others), so I really appreciate you liking my Born Free design! : ) Thanks!

Huge congrats to you on all of your wins in the Holiday Card challenge - your work is amazing and flawless. I am obsessed with A New Stocking and almost want to have another baby so I can use it (well, not quite, haha, but it is super sweet and I'm certain all of your designs are going to be very popular among Minted Customers this year!) :)
