Hey there, it’s time for our second giveaway! This week you can enter a random draw for a set of six chatty acorn postcards (with room in their speech bubbles to write your own message). To enter, just leave a comment, and answer this question: do you still send handwritten messages? Or has technology taken over that department? Looking forward to seeing your responses!{ Comments will be open between now and midnight Sunday, eastern time. } 
Thank you thank you thank you, to everyone who said yes.
update: I made this into a little poster that you can download over at designforobama.com. (There are some amazing designs over there!)

A federal election is two days away here in Canada and I find myself thinking about … the American election. Anyone else?
Anyway, here are two of the many great fundraisers going on (with proceeds going to the Obama campaign):

Commenter # 6, Cicada Studios! Thanks everyone for entering our first-ever giveaway … check back in a month for another one!
: update - contest is closed - check back on the first friday of each month for a new giveaway : Okay, this is the first ever installment of our Friday (first Friday of the month that is) giveaways! This week, all you need to do is leave a comment between now and midnight Sunday (eastern time) to be entered in a draw (I’ll use a random number generator) for this little veggie print. Good luck!
Okay this feature starts this Friday, but I thought I’d give a little heads-up to anyone who might be interested: starting in October, the first Friday of every month will be freebie day here at the Stockton notebook! Check back on Friday for details …
I haven’t posted for a while because I’ve been so busy (I know, who isn’t?) but I did manage to snap a picture of an arrangement I did for a mini-dinner party I threw last night. (The vintage vase/planter is from Abbey Hendrickson’s great shop, How Now Design.)
A little something for all you Miffy fans: a profile of Dick Bruna in the Telegraph (via bookninja).
