starting a business isn’t easy, and it is especially difficult when you start on $5K, like i did. i remember that basically every “official” form was my latest creation of advancement on Photoshop/Microsoft Word. one of these official forms were my gift certificates.

over the past year & 1/2, i have had several different kinds of gift certificates: which changed for different reasons (lost the file, was too embarrassed to give them out, found out a new thing on photoshop, friend had a color printer…), but i have never had a “real” gift certificate.

i know this sounds like a lame story, but last month our store had a couple GOOD weeks and i decided to give the store a gift by purchasing REAL gift certificates, made from a combination of recycled & handmade paper from Twisted Limb paper. and i have to say, they are BEAUTIFUL (they even asked if they could use them as a sample to clients!)

slowly, but surely, we are becoming a business
