THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! The winner is comment #135, Julie — check your email, girl!
Let’s welcome this first Friday in August with a super fun sponsored giveaway from Rockey Paper & Designs. They are our XL sponsor this month and have such fun, colorful paper goods + gifts. Adding color is such an easy way to freshen up your home and life, and Rockey Paper does a wonderful job at this. Everything in their shop is so cheerful!
MEGAN FROM ROCKEY PAPER SHARES: The items in my online boutique are ones that I found and love. Some of them I found at the National Stationery Show (which is amazing and quite possibly heaven on earth for a paper lover like me) and some of them are suggestions from friends that love the product. Not only that, I pride myself on taking care of each and every customer and making sure they are as excited about the product when it arrives as I was when I originally discovered it!
My advice to anyone thinking about opening a shop is to just do it! I completely agree that you need a business plan and goals for the business but some of it you just have to learn as you go. Make sure you take time away and shut off work. I really don’t feel like I am working because I enjoy what I do so sometimes it is hard to shut down the computer (especially when working from home) and take the time to recharge.

FOR AN ADDITIONAL ENTRY: Pin any item from Rockey Paper & Designs + leave a link to your pin in the comments.

Rockey Paper sent me this custom iPhone case {made by Case-Mate} and I really really love it. It is a hard case, but not slippery, and the sides have a slight indent so it’s super easy to hold it without dropping it. Because it’s a hard case it won’t stretch out on me after a couple of months. PLUS it has my logo on it, yeow!
Connect with Rockey Paper & Designs on Facebook + their blog. And use code GUSSY for 15% off your entire order until August 31st!
Good luck! xo
