Who's the boss?

Definitely my cheesiest title so far. Nevertheless, I have to introduce...

The Embossing Heating Tool 2500


About a month ago, Michael and I entered a fancy new paper shop in Highland Village to pick up the only reasonably priced 5x7 brown envelopes in the city (The Paper Source - http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/index.html). While I'm much more of drive-thru shopper, Michael likes to browse. Normally, when a 10 minute trip to Target turns into an hour long trek, it drives me bonkers. This time the browsing paid off.

A salesperson was demonstrating embossing tools in the middle of the store and Michael was drawn in like a moth to the light. Twenty minutes later, we walked out of the store with our envelopes and an oddly phallic craft tool I was sure we use once and stuff in a drawer.

I was wrong.

You may have already received your invitation with a little "all you need is love" green embossed envelope.

And our DIY programs are exactly what we hoped for without paying someone else to create them. Here's a little peak:
