Pink Cupcakes and Paper was kind enough to send me a complimentary shipment from its Paper Lover's Club, in which subscribers receive monthly packages of stationery items from the company's Etsy shop. The package arrived at my doorstep late last week. Because it shipped directly from the manufacturer and bore a return address that I didn't recognize, I wasn't sure what the box contained. I opened it, assuming that I would find some boring household item that I'd purchased on Amazon. Instead, I saw glimpses of bright color and knew that, whatever I'd received, I was in for a treat.

The first thing that caught my eye was this:

I love it! The name "Tonya" is unique enough that I rarely find it on any of the pre-made, personalized tchotchkes that you see in gift shops and grocery stores. (When I was a kid, this fact was an endless source of frustration to me.) Consequently, I still get excited when I see my name on something, so I was thrilled to receive this notebook. I hoped that I'd find a few additional personalized items in my Paper Lover's Club shipment.

Here's the rest of what I received. Looks cute! Let's examine everything up close and personal.

More personalization! And this time stickers! I love the motif, and can't wait to use these.

 I also received a set of 10 "drink up" coasters. Super cute!

Last but not least, I found a set of 10 "Hello beautiful" blank note cards in my shipment. For some reason, I received only five envelopes to accompany them, but these are still adorable, and will be great pick-me-ups to send out to friends.

I loved everything that I received in the August shipment of the Pink Cupcakes and Paper Lover's Club! The personalization really did it for me. It's always fun to receive something that was created specifically for oneself, even if that thing is as simple as a notebook or a set of stickers.
