The whole house is sick!

The past two weeks have been pretty rough around here. Just so you know to expect delays in response times right now.. the whole house is sick!
Thanks for your understanding & I will try to respond to orders, etc. in as timely a manner as possible!
Thanks!

Melamine plates... on their way!

Yep.. customized melamine plates are on their way to Laurie's Lagniappe. I just ordered my first run of samples to test the waters & from that point on I'll be up & ready to sell, sell, sell! These will be such a hot seller, I just know it! I am in the process of coming up with exclusive designs - a local artist who does beautiful work! I can't wait to offer these.. they will make such cute gifts, favors & even every day china! LOL! I'd much rather use a melamine plate than a heavy stone like I have in my cabinet.

Here's a few that I did for my kids... these designs will not be available for mass-production but I just couldn't wait any longer to produce my first ones.
Price is $24.00 each.

Coordinating placemats are coming soon, too!

Hope you like them!

Coming soon... personalized coordinating backpacks, lunch squares duffels & more!

It's been a while...

Summertime is a busy time here! The two older kids are in camp but it doesn't seem like there are enough hours in the day to complete everything I need to do. With that, the dishes pile up, the house gets trashed & I am up til 4am a couple times a week trying to catch up! So, if you get email responses at 2, 3, or even 4am, that's why! My day hasn't started early...it's only still going! Thanks in advance for your patience on delayed response times.

I wanted to post the new sippy cup inserts that have hit the site. These have become a highly-sought after item & I am glad to finally have them. These inserts are printed on the same high-quality printer that my stationery is printed on & are laminated to protect the designs from getting wet. If you don't see a design that you are hoping to find, please email me & tell me about it... I will get it added to the cart asap!

Here's a peek... enjoy :)

Update to Self Inking Stamps

I have just added the following options for the Self-Inking Stamp designs:

• Now available - Plate Only option for the round self-inking stamper! Now you can purchase additional designs for your stamper at only $10 per design! The plates come with a sticky backing that can be reused over & over again. If the sticky loses its adhering capabilities, a simple double-sided tape can be used instead.
  
  Some ideas of "other" design options would be one for holidays, a birthday design, a birth announcement, or whatever you can think of!
  
  PLEASE NOTE! This option is for existing customers only - if you have not purchased a self inking stamper from us, please do not choose this option. We cannot guarantee & will not stand behind this option if you purchased another brand stamping mechanism. We only guarantee & recommend this for our brand.

All stamper designs are now offered as a desktop embosser for $45 each. Choose this option only if you are looking for an embossed impression on your paper or envelopes.

I am working on adding envelope embossers with straight-line text as well for those of you looking for a simple, classy return address impression. These look great on the back flaps of all your outgoing mail :)

Thanks for your continued support & I hope this adds a little (more) fun to your mailings!

This is where I've been...

Very busy this past month... mostly w/family time & fun stuff like that.
First came my sister's graduation from college...

Then came the "Hannah Montana Dance A Thon" 5th Bday Celebration of my 5-going-on-15-year-old daughter! We've been having so much fun! Enjoy :)

Aren't these adorable?

I wanted to share the "new & improved" wooden storage bins from the site. I have been forced to change suppliers of these bins but boy the possibilities are endless with this new source. I have a choice of so many color combinations... I am very excited about this new line. Check out a few recent orders:

It's Snowball Season!

My favorite time.... from March to November - we are BLESSED with these delectable ice mounds filled with finely shaved snowizard (this is the only true snowball machine) ice topped with juicy syrup and condensed milk (if you choose). No other better use of the Styrofoam cup!

Anyway, I had to add these "snowball notes" inspired by some of my favorite flavas :)

Enjoy.. just added to the site :)

On the drawing board...

well, it's late sunday night & i am brainstorming. more ideas come to mind when i am half-asleep so i figured i'd get them down somewhere so here goes...

• personalized placemats (fun, whimsical designs in the works)
• note cards for your fun stampers :)
  specifically designed to stamp your monogram over & over & over!
• personalized, frameable wall art
• fridge calendars (laminated so you can wipe off each month when you're done!)

i know the list is longer than that but that's all that's coming to me right now! stay tuned for updates soon!

Uploading Pictures :)

The longest process besides taking inventory of "the kits" is formatting the images for the shopping cart. I do this to make it easy to shop...

The kits are here :) Look... I am in the process of uploading all the pics to the shopping cart - won't be long! Off tomorrow on a field trip w/EKB... stay tuned :)

The time has come...

This blog stuff ... foreign to me until recently. I have been instantly obsessed with finding people's blogs... those who post their favorite shopping links to those who tell their life stories! I have never been a reader - ask anyone who knows me - but I am becoming "one of you!"

SO, now Laurie's Lagniappe will be blogging away - just along side the rest of 'em - posting new goodies & stuff for the site - right here :)

I will be sending out my very last email newsletter in the next couple of days to be replaced with the "new" way of letting my peeps know what's new, what's up & what's to come!

Thanks again for your continued support & business - this has truly become the best "job" I've ever had!

TTFN...
