No matter how old we are…we never stop needing our mother…
For the past few weeks I have been sharing writing prompts on Friday mornings (I skipped last Friday because it was a crazy day and I completely forgot to do it - Sorry!)
This week I wanted to incorporate a writing prompt in with my blog post. I wanted to create a writing prompt that was in line with something that happened to me this week.
You may or may not know that both of my parents passed in their 60's and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about picking up the phone and texting or calling my Mom to tell her about something that has happened during the day; something I know she would love to hear or something that would make her laugh. (She had the most amazing hearty laugh...ask my Aunt Sandy or Aunt Freda...they loved her laugh as much as I did!)
So with Mother's Day quickly approaching this event that happened this week felt a bit more sad.
We got some big news that we had won Best in Mississippi 2022 for Best Fine Paper Goods! And although I was stunned when we originally got the news a month or so ago it didn't actually feel real till those Mississippi Magazines were delivered to the shop this week and I saw it in print.
My first response was to text a picture to my hubby to celebrate all the hard work we have put into this sweet little paper shop...but my second response was...I wish Mom were here to see this. She would be so proud and I would send her a copy of the magazine and she would share it with all her friends back home.
But she's not here...so I let the thought slowly slip from my mind.
The following day while working on some new printing designs...Sonya from The Bookstore in the Window texted me to congratulate me and I responded that it was such a great honor and that I wish my Momma was around to see it. And she responded with "you do good work," and I felt the lump in my throat and the tears start to form in my eyes.
It was time to head home so I packed up my bag and headed to the car...it was there...sitting in the parking lot in front of the library that the tears came hard quick. Yup...the big ugly cry. Sonya's words echoed what I could have imagined my Mom saying to me and well...that was all she wrote and it hit me hard.
So when I got home I wrote my Mom a letter. For me, it's the best way to talk to her when I need to tell her something important...it's the best way to release the feeling of not being able to tell her something I really want to share with her.
Many of us have lost our parents and as you all know...even after a while of not having them around there are still a few bad days here and there. So I wanted to share this letter with you on this Mother's Day and encourage you to grab your journal if you feel the need to share something important or beautiful with your Mom on this Mother’s Day.
And if you’re blessed to still have your Mom…well send her a letter anyway! Letters are special and from the heart - it would be the perfect Mother’s Day Gift!
Happy Mother's Day to all the Momma's out there! We hope you have a wonderful day!
Hey Momma!
It's Wednesday, April 29, 2022 and today I received the Mississippi Magazine in the mail and it's now official that we won the Best in Mississippi 2022 Fine Paper Goods! Can you believe that? I feel so blessed to have won against some of the most amazing and fun paper stores in Mississippi.
I mean...we haven't even been open a full year yet...right? How cool is that? I know I have told you several times over the last year how much I love doing this and how fun and amazing this is for me. You know how much I loved being a business consultant over the years but it was time for something different and I don't think I could have found a more perfect place to land than where I am now.
I have to admit that I had a bit of a moment in the car on the way home tonight knowing that I couldn't pick up the phone and talk to you or share this experience with you. But as I always do...I just imagine how excited you used to get whenever I accomplished something big or small. With you it never mattered how big the accomplishment was...you never let it pass without telling me how proud you were of me.
I wish you were still here and could visit us in Laurel...you would love this sweet little community Mom!
I love you and miss you terribly!
E-
Early in the month I got a call from my granddaughter Jaelynn. She asked if I would participate in a school project with her. I immediately said yes! And then she told me about Oliver - she was going to send Oliver for a visit.
A special thank you to Jaelynn for asking me to participate and I hope you enjoy reading Oliver’s letter about all the things he learned hanging out with Papa and Grandma!
I’ve had a great time with Grandma and Papa in Laurel, Mississippi. If you watch HGTV you might know the show HomeTown! They live in that little town where Mr. Ben and Ms. Erin film the show. They fix up older homes for families to live in!
Ben & Erin are pretty famous around here and there are a lot of tourists that visit this little town just hoping to get to see them. But to everyone who live here…they’re just an awesome little family that lives here, who are dedicated in making Laurel a better place to live.
Picture from the New York Post Article: https://nypost.com/2018/10/05/home-town-hosts-erin-and-ben-napier-are-building-an-empire-of-adorableness/
Now that you know where Grandma and Papa live…let’s get to the fun stuff!
I got to meet Maggie! She’s Grandma and Papa’s miniature BernDoodle and she sniffed me all over. But we became friends quickly and I think she is sad to see me go. She’s so funny! She follows Papa everywhere! And she loves to sit outside on the deck. Papa says that she thinks she’s queen of the entire neighborhood. The deck sits up high and she watches everything from her spot!
Laurel has lots of murals in their downtown and Grandma took a few pictures to show you three of them. My favorite was the one on the library. They have an amazing library downtown. The tourists love to get their pictures taken in front of the murals…it’s a pretty popular thing here!
I learned that Laurel, Mississippi is known as the Pine Belt region. It’s in the Southeast region of Mississippi. It was established in 1882! That’s a long time ago! I also learned that Laurel is known for its timber…there are tons of Pine Trees in Laurel! Look at this big one in Papa and Grandma’s yard…see me at the base of the tree?
Can you see how tall the tree is?
I learned that Papa works from home and has his very own office in their house. Grandma has her own paper shop and I got to go to work with her.
She told me all about her love for writing letters and sending cards to make people smile and help them be happy. Grandma also prints cards for people and I got to hang out with her to learn how she prints her special cards.
Grandma and Papa love to support local businesses in their community and one night after dinner we went to Betsy’s for ice cream. I love ice cream cones and Betsy’s had some amazing ice cream cones! Here’s a picture of me and Grandma - she shared her cone with me.
It’s almost time for my trip to Laurel to come to an end so we celebrated our fun together over the last few weeks by having lunch on the deck Sunday. I loved listening to the birds and the warm sunshine! Grandma loves listening to the birds…but Maggie barks at them.
Today is Monday, and I am sitting on the couch with Grandma as she types up my story for you. We’re putting the story on her blog, online so that everyone can read my story and know how much fun I had in Laurel, Mississippi and how much fun this project was for Grandma.
She is packing me up today to travel back to Florida. I am going to miss Grandma, Papa, and Maggie and this beautiful weather but I’m ready to get back to Jaelynn!
As they say in Mississippi…”see ya’ll soon!”
I think those close to me secretly thought I was a bit crazy opening a paper store in a time when so many people prefer email or texting…or even Facebook and Messenger to send messages.
Let's face it…it’s easier to send a text or email than it is to get a piece of paper or buy a card and sit down and write a letter or short note; addressing an envelope and putting a stamp on the envelope, and then…mailing it.
So, I can't tell you how thrilled I was to send out over 100 free cards to you from our 'Hey There Girl' new card line. I thought introducing my new card line on March 8 - International Women's Day, would be a fun way to make the women in my life smile. So I addressed the mailers to all of my girl squad (friends and family) and then thought...who else can I send a special treat to?
And you all came through asking to be included - for that, I thank you. I hope you got your International Women's Day card and the free card that I sent you...and most importantly, I hope you turned around and mailed out that free card to someone who needed to hear from you!
My sister-in-law bought a few cards from the new line and told me that she was going to use them for a friend who was finishing up chemotherapy. She bought one for each of her remaining treatments....and that made my heart feel good - because that is what I created this card line for!
I wanted to create a card that you could grab and write a quick thought or message to someone who needed to hear from you...or someone who needed some extra love so I created the 'Hey There Girl' card line to help me and you send messages easier and more often!
Take a few minutes to look at the cards - I hope these cards will resinate with you and you will enjoy sending them to your best girlfriends…especially when they need a little extra something!

They say that when you’re journaling that you’re having a relationship with your mind. It’s a way for you to listen to what is going on in your mind.
Journaling helps us gain mental clarity; it can help us release stress, manage our eating habits, track our goals and even solve problems. Journals are one of my biggest sellers in the shop and we sell many different types of journals. However; we still have people come in and ask what is the best type of journal…and the answer to that question is multi-faceted so I wanted to take a minute to share the different types of journals you can purchase and what exactly you can do with a journal.
I hope this quick list helps you make a better decision about what type of journal will fit your need.
Guided Journal - A guided journal is one that offers you prompts and helps you get your thoughts out in writing. For folks who have trouble getting started, a guided journal, as it's name suggests, guides you through journaling each time you pick it up.
Bullet Journal - A bullet journal is a journal filled with lines of dots, or bullets. Unlike the lined journal the bullet journal gives you a bit more freedom for laying out your journal and adding sections. If you like to draw or are creative bullet journals are great to work in.
Lined Journal - A lined journal is simply a journal with lined paper in it. You use it to write it in like you would a lined piece of paper. Lined journals are used for many different things.
The Blank Journal - the blank journal is normally composed of blank pieces of paper and can be used for many different things such as doodling, art, as well as writing. This blank canvas can be used to create many different writing formats.
Pocket Journal - the pocket journal is usually a smaller pocket size that will fit in your pocket or purse. These are usually use to capture notes and ideas that come up while on the go.
The above types of journals is just a quick guideline to help you understand what types of journals are available for purchase. What you use your journal for can range from many different needs. Here are a few that we have seen - but journals can be used for just about anything. The great thing is that you get to decide how and for what you want to use your journal for:
Food Journal - many people keep a food journal to help them manage the food they eat. I use a food journal and use it to make my weekly menu's as well as to create my shopping list each week. It helps me stay intentional with my keto eating and only purchase exactly what I need for the week. It helps me create menus much easier as I can copy from past weeks. I also write down new recipes that I create and keep them in my food journal.
Project Journal - project journals help you plan out a project and keep track of the steps needed to complete the project. I use my planner for my projects, but a planner journal functions in the same way.
Gratitude Journal - many people find that keeping a gratitude journal of all the things that they are grateful for is a way to keep positivity and appreciation in their lives. Focusing on all the good things that happen in a day instead of the bad can improve your overall attitude and keep someone who may be prone to negativity, thinking positively.
Art Journal - you don't have to be an artist to create in an art journal. It's simply a way to release your creativity and ideas. Many people can express their feelings through art instead of words...this is the perfect journal for this type of creativity.
Fitness Journal - much like the food journal, the fitness journal helps you keep track of workouts. It's a place to track your weight, food and training information. Keeping it all in one place helps you manage the process of working much easier.
Travel Journal - travel journals are used to keep track of places you traveled, what you saw, where you stayed. You can keep track of your packing lists and shopping needs as well as tuck pictures, tickets and other fun artifacts from your trip.
Stress Journal - I first heard of a stress journal when working with a business coach. She instructed me to spend 5-10 minutes every morning writing down the things that were stressing me about my business. Getting them out of my head and on paper allowed me to release them in a way that was causing stress and instead allowed me to then work through them in the journal.
Ideas Journal - the idea journal is great for those big picture people who have so many ideas that they can't act on them. Put all your new ideas in a journal so you get them out of your head and on paper. This way you don't lose them and you can act on them when you are in a place to better thing through them.
Letter Journal - a letter journal can be used in a few different ways. You can use the letter journal to write letters to your future self...or to others. You don't have to give the letter to the people you write them too...but it allows you to get your thoughts out on paper. Sometimes this can be therapeutic if you are angry or upset...you write the letter to release the anger or sadness. You can decide if you need to anything further with it or leave it as is.
Couple Journal - a couple journal can be used a few different ways. If you are apart the journal is a good way to talk to each other and share your thoughts. It's always fun to get the journal back and read several days of letters from your love. You can also use the couple journal as a way to talk to each other if you can't do it face to face. If you struggle with communicating the couple journal is a great way to get your feelings out and shared with each other.
Every year I select my 'word of the year'...and every year I pick the word intentional...and there is an intentional reason that I pick it every single year. Let me explain why...
Most people start their year out be selecting a word that they want to focus on through out the year, and in most cases the word is different every year. But for me...my word is the same and that word is 'intentional.'
I have picked that word for many years in a row now and I will keep picking it until I feel that I can move on to another word because I have mastered this one. You see...being intentional is really hard and every day I have to remind myself that my actions and my thoughts need to be intentional because when I don't, I find myself feeling out of sorts and traveling on a path that I didn't intend to be on.
Because being intentional requires me to think about what I say, when I say it, and how I say it. When I am not intentional with my words I can hurt people. I can say things that might not be thought out. Things that may sound sarcastic or judgmental ...and those are two things I never want to be to the people I care about.
Being intentional with my actions helps keep me moving forward on the path I want to be on. When I am not intentional with my actions I veer off path and find myself in places I don't want to be and not accomplishing the goals that I have set for myself.
Being intentional with my love and respect helps remind me to cherish the people in my life that love me and care for me. Being intentional with my relationships helps me let the people in my life know how important they are too me and how much I respect how they support me and show up for me.
Being intentional in my own personal and spiritual growth helps me better understand how to be a bigger person in this world. When I am intentional I read more and apply what I learn in a way that helps the rest of the areas of my life flourish. When I am not intentional I can become tired, sad and anxious...making life dark and dreadful.
Being intentional with my finances allows me to live my life in a way that feels good for me and my family. When I am not intentional with my money I spend it on things that are not in line with my goals and life choices.
You see...I have picked this word several years in a row and I have still not mastered the word intentional. Because being intentional is hard and I am not perfect. So I will keep working on being intentional with my thoughts, actions, love, relationships and finances until it becomes a habit for me...a habit that makes me a better person...one that make choices with the best of intentions.
What's your word for 2022?
Hello & Happy New Year!
I can't believe our shop opened a little over 5-months ago.
When I started this little paper store in Laurel, MS…my goal was to bring a nice greeting card, stationary, and book store to the people of Laurel and to those that visit this marvelous HomeTown. But over the months that I have worked in the shop, day in and day out…a new vision has come to life for me.
When people come into my shop…usually the first thing they see is a wall of cards…greeting cards, birthday cards, thank you cards, sympathy cards…I have so many wonderful vendors that make these beautiful cards. And you will also be seeing more printed cards made in our shop this year as well!
These are women-owned businesses in the United States and they make their cards by hand. I hand pick the cards that go on that wall…my hope is that there is something there for everyone. But it goes a bit deeper than that.
It’s my wish for people to come in my little shop and find a card…that when they read it…they say…Oh I need to get this for “whoever that may be.”
I hope that when you lose someone dear to you, that you will come into the shop and pick up a card so that you can send a handwritten sympathy note - because that card will mean so much to the person who needs it the most.
My hope is that when someone has done something really nice for you that you come in and pick up a card that will tell them how much you really appreciate having them in your life.
I love having a group of women friends come into the shop and go straight to the card wall. They laugh and share the funny cards with each other, and they select a few for those important people who deserve…or need them. This happens several times a week and it never stops feeling good!
And I love that we now have regulars that come in and buy cards for the people in their lives.
I love when you come in the shop looking for that perfect journal or planner because I understand the need to have that paper journal to write you thoughts, fears, hopes and dreams in. And that planner that you need to help keep your days, weeks, and months - and life organized. It’s about the creative process and I love that you get that.
We also have had several folks walk in or call about creating personalized stationary or notecards…and that makes me giddy inside! I love that people want to send notes and better yet…they want to handwrite them on a notecard made by me…in my little shop…in Laurel, Mississippi.
There is no better feeling inside for me, than creating a set of notecards, invitations or business cards for someone…I hope they know and understand the love that I put into each order as I box them up and send them on their way. Every order is made with care and each piece is created and touched by us…and I love that!
So my mission this year, in 2022 is to help people:
send more letters, cards, or notes to those people in your life that you love and want to support, wish them a happy birthday, tell them thank you…or just to let them know you are thinking about them. Think about how they will feel when they know you took the time to pick up card, add a handwritten note and drop it in the mail. It’s such a ‘feel good’ thing!
step away from their keyboards for a while and pick up a beautiful pen or comfortable pencil and spend more time writing…spend more time with your thoughts…journaling and leaving a legacy! You many not think about it, but what if you could leave a journal filled with your thoughts, advice, or life for those that you love? I think about what my kids will know about my life when I am gone…I hope my journals will tell them the life I lived.
pick up a real book that will either take their minds away from everyday life…or teach them something new and help them grow. I want everyone to feel a real book in their hand and have the ability to learn from the amazing authors that take the time to write them for us.
get kids more interested in writing and sharing their thoughts. I don’t want our children to grow up not knowing how to write a thank you note or a letter. If our children don’t see us doing it, will they know the importance of doing it? Does your child know they should send handwritten thank you note when they get gifts? I want to help share the importance of letter writing with our younger generations.
Because I think we all need the love of a card, the time to be with our own thoughts in a journal, and learning and growing our minds by reading more books! To help support my mission the Be Amazing Paper Company will be hosting some special events in 2022 and we can’t wait to share them with you!
Thank you for your support in 2021 – we couldn’t do what we do without your support of our business! Richard and I hope that you all have an amazing New Year and that 2022 brings you peace, love, and joy!
One of the things I am known for is sending cards and writing letters to my friends and family. I still believe that getting a card or letter in the mail makes people feel happy inside. And I don't know about you...but we could all use a little more happy inside!
I know that not everyone is 'into' sending mail, but I do know think that everyone has a lot of kindness inside of them and if they could they would send more thank you notes then they do.
So who would you like to send a thank you to? Remember you don't have to have a fancy card to say thanks! All it takes is a heart-felt written note to let someone know you're grateful for them.
It's hard to believe that we're at the end of the month of October already. November is around the corner and along with it comes the Thanksgiving holiday. This time of year always brings back memories of my parents and how we celebrated the holidays when they were still with us.
Everything I learned about cooking came from spending time cooking with my Mom & Dad. All the traditions around our Thanksgiving menus are memories that I will never forget or let go of...I have worked hard to pass down those traditions to my kids and grandkids and I hope that they will create new ones as they grow with their own families.
My parents, especially my Dad...passed his passion down to me; he loved to make every holiday perfect and so much fun for us as kids. Cool fall weather took us pumpkin hunting, finding the perfect Christmas Tree at the local Christmas tree farms, ice skating on the ponds, and baking...lots of baking. Our house was always filled with the smells of food and the smells of the holiday...apples, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie. I wanted my kids to grow up enjoying their childhood and creating memories of their own; but also taking a bit of mine along with them...a little bit of my parents.
Traditions are passed down from generation to generation...part of the reason that I opened the paper shop was to help continue traditions like sending cards by mail; writing letters on beautiful stationary and putting a stamp on it and dropping it in the mail. It's about reading a paper book and not one on your iPad and writing in a paper journal instead of typing on a computer. All of these things are important to me and continuing traditions that have always made me feel warm and comforted.
Don't get me wrong...I love technology...but I love paper more!
We finished our little book nook last week and I love the way it turned out. We added a bit of wall paper to the back wall and kept the fun turquoise table. Our contractor Terry came in and built custom books shelves to match our greeting card shelves and the look came out exactly as I had envisioned it.
Our goal in adding the book section to the shop was to carry recently released fiction and non-fiction books along with some of our old past favorites. We will be continually adding new releases!
Our little Laurel Book Shop makes my heart happy. Stop in and take a look...and if you're not local you can browse our books online.
I am having the best time with our new little paper store in sweet Laurel, Mississippi. It's all the wonderful things that I enjoy most in life...journals, planners, books and of course the design work.
But one of the things that I might be enjoying more is reading fiction again. It feel like forever since I have enjoyed a good fiction book. Most of my reading has revolved around business for the last 20-years. I remember, what seems like 20-years ago, when I used to love reading James Patterson books. They were my escape from day to day life and, of course, Patterson is such an easy read. However, I haven't read one of his books in so long.
Last week when a gentleman came into the shop in search of a book that he wanted to read while vacationing in Laurel. The author of that book Rick Bragg - he informed me writes for Southern Living and as soon as he said...I knew who he was talking about as I read Southern Living from cover to cover every month. After talking to him for a bit and hearing him talk about why he wanted to read the book made me realize that I have been missing out on reading beautiful books and novels, that have nothing to do with business, and more to do with life, love and living. By the way, that book The Speckled Dog is now available in the shop. I think I will have to start reading that one next.
Last week I ordered Where the Crawdads Sing for the shop. I'd heard about how good it was but just never picked it up. So before the books got here I started reading the book on my iPad and I can't seem to put it down. It is an amazing story and I feel like I have missed out by not reading it before now.
As much as I love a good business book...there really is more to life than reading about business all the time...
Story written by the City of Laurel:
(Photo Courtesy of Brandy Thornton - Jones County Chamber of Commerce)
Elizabeth Fanslow has always loved paper, stationary, and the connection that sending cards and letters fosters between people. On Wednesday, September 29, at 11:00 a.m. Fanslow and the Jones County Chamber of Commerce celebrated the ribbon cutting of Fanslow’s new stationary shop, Be Amazing Paper Company.
The shop is located at 513 Central Avenue in downtown Laurel and features a variety of journals, planners, postcards, greeting cards, stationary supplies, stickers, and books including Fanslow’s own “Be Amazing: 9 Critical Skills to Becoming an Inspiring Leader.”
Fanslow said that she will also be offering custom design services.
This has been a busy year for Fanslow. In April, she and her husband, Richard, moved to Laurel from Florida since his job had him traveling throughout many of the states on the Gulf Coast. Since then, they have secured a store in downtown Laurel, completed major renovations to the space, and opened the business to the public on September 17. (correction August 17)
This is her first retail store but in her role as a consultant, she has helped several business owners to get their own businesses started and started a lot of businesses for her clients. Helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals is another of Fanslow’s passions. Because of this, all of the cards in her shop are created by women business owners in the United States.
Store hours are Tuesday- Saturday 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Customers can also follow the store on Facebook, Instagram, and through its website at beamazingpaperco.com .
How do you keep yourself organized?
Every day since I opened the shop people walk by and smile and wave at me. I can't tell you how good that feels. As I wave to them I can feel myself smiling inside and a sense of happiness that I haven't felt in a while.
Getting to know the people in our new little town feels good and when people are friendly, waving and smiling at you...you can't help but smile yourself.
Sometimes we get complacent in our day to day lives and we go about our daily routines...and somewhere along the way we forget to smile. I can tell you that I am smiling much more lately!
How about you...have you smiled today?
Take a minute to download this PDF and write down 10-things that made you smile today. When you take time to recognize the things that made you smile it helps you feel grateful. Better yet, print one for each day of the week to make sure you take time each day to recognize the things that make you smile.
According to an article on verywellmind.com there are 10-benefits for smiling that I want to share with you:
Smiling helps you live longer.
Smiling relieves stress.
Smiling elevates mood.
Smiling is contagious.
Smiling boosts the immune system.
Smiling may lower blood pressure.
Smiling reduces pain.
Smiling makes you attractive.
Smiling suggests success.
Smiling helps you stay positive.
Do you use a planner? How about a to-do list? How you keep yourself organized? For some people staying organized is easy. They know how to do it, but not everyone is as adapt at keeping themselves organized...and to that I say...you just haven't found your system yet.
I am a systems person...systems help me complete things, manage projects, and stay organized and on track. Without my system I would be at an utter loss.
In order for a planner to be effective you have to use it regularly. Here are four steps that I use to help me manage my schedule - give them a try and then tweak them to fit you!
Make time to review your planner every morning before you start your day, or in the evening the night before. When you take time to review what needs to be done each day and review what appointments / commitments you have it helps you gain a clear understanding of what you have to get done that day.
Make sure your planner has a full monthly calendar. Take time to review the next month and add your important dates on your monthly calendar; birthdays, anniversaries, business trips, vacation days, and even bills that are due during the month.
Having the ability to take a full look at your calendar at one time is super beneficial.
Prepare for each Week - At the beginning of each week - transfer any dates for that week to each day so that you can prepare your to-do's in an efficient manner. You can fit a whole day of work into a day that has 3-appointments and a kids soccer game...so preparing for your week is essential for success.
Use your planner as a tool - because that's what it is. However, if you don't use you planner efficiently it won't be of any good to you.
We have several types of planners available in the shop - if you're looking for a planner there are many different types out there. What I will tell you is you may use one for several months and find that a different type fits your needs better. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types until you find the one that works for you.
Check out our store and look at the different planners we offer. If you're interested in one that we have, I want to give you a 10% discount code to use. Most of our planners are undated, however we do have some 17-month planners that started in August 2021, but they are good through December 2022!
Here's the link to shop and here's the code - plannerpower - to get your discount, if you're interested. The code starts today and is good through Thursday, September 9, 2021.
