Happy 4th!
I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. We will get back to regular posts next week. For now let me just say that while you all are thinking red, white and blue….sweet paper is thinking melon.

First, updates: The point of sale software is finalized and installed on my computer. Phew! Now on to entering all the suppliers and products we can’t wait to get in the store.

POS, as in point of sale…
Don’t know about you, but every time I say POS I can’t stop myself from thinking of the not so nice (but often useful) phrase “piece of sh*#” rather than what I am actually talking about, which is point of sale. Anyway, we are currently lost in POS land, trying to figure out which system […]

I can’t say enough good things about Smock and am so pleased to be able to tell you that we will be carrying Smock’s wedding and social occasions albums. Where to start with the Smock accolades….well first, they are dedicated to being a truly green […]

I’m not sharing any yet, you’ll have to wait until the final design to get a peek, but we are excited to be making progress on our identity! Recently, we got word that the wedding album from 42pressed has […]

Today was a big day for sweetpaper! This morning I gave my notice at work (cheers! horray! woohoo!). In just three weeks I will be fully devoted to all things sweet. I cannot wait to be free from the corporate grind and dive headfirst into opening the store. As soon as I left my semenax […]
