Bookmark Mania!

I've been busy the past couple days stocking up on bookmarks! My junk mail bookmarks are actually made using the left-over woven paper trimmings from making junk mail checkbook covers & wallets. So, they are recycling the scraps from recycling the junk mail! Here's a photo of me with my new little buddy, just hangin' out while I work on bookmarks...

Welcom New Junk Mail Gems Online Retailers

I am happy to welcome two new online retailers who are now carrying Junk Mail Gems products: "Repurposed 4 You" and "Save the World Designs!" Be sure to check out their sites for more cool recycled products!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone and happy new year!

I got some good news this week, that me and my Junk Mail Gems have been selected to be a part of this year's Craftstravaganza at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul this spring!


I'm pretty psyched and will be working on stocking up on cool junk mail products from now until April 26th! Well, we'll see how much my new Christmas angel little Sammy will let me get done but I have a few months so I'm not too worried. Having previously worked over 3 years as a display designer for Best Buy, I will be in my element working on designing my booth space. I'll be sure to include photos once I get things rolling!

I'm also in the process of getting Junk Mail Gems into two other online retailers' sites. So, things are growing already in 2008!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I've been busy enjoying my best Christmas gift ever...our new little boy! Hope you all had a great holiday and have a wonderful new year!
