THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! The winner is comment #135, Julie — check your email, girl!
Let’s welcome this first Friday in August with a super fun sponsored giveaway from Rockey Paper & Designs. They are our XL sponsor this month and have such fun, colorful paper goods + gifts. Adding color is such an easy way to freshen up your home and life, and Rockey Paper does a wonderful job at this. Everything in their shop is so cheerful!
MEGAN FROM ROCKEY PAPER SHARES: The items in my online boutique are ones that I found and love. Some of them I found at the National Stationery Show (which is amazing and quite possibly heaven on earth for a paper lover like me) and some of them are suggestions from friends that love the product. Not only that, I pride myself on taking care of each and every customer and making sure they are as excited about the product when it arrives as I was when I originally discovered it!
My advice to anyone thinking about opening a shop is to just do it! I completely agree that you need a business plan and goals for the business but some of it you just have to learn as you go. Make sure you take time away and shut off work. I really don’t feel like I am working because I enjoy what I do so sometimes it is hard to shut down the computer (especially when working from home) and take the time to recharge.

TO ENTER: Simply leave a comment below sharing what you love from their shop, one lucky person will win all four items. This giveaway is for US residents only and ends on Monday, August 6th at 11:59pm CST. Winner will be announced Tuesday morning at the top of this blog post.
FOR AN ADDITIONAL ENTRY: Pin any item from Rockey Paper & Designs + leave a link to your pin in the comments.
Rockey Paper sent me this custom iPhone case {made by Case-Mate} and I really really love it. It is a hard case, but not slippery, and the sides have a slight indent so it’s super easy to hold it without dropping it. Because it’s a hard case it won’t stretch out on me after a couple of months. PLUS it has my logo on it, yeow!
Connect with Rockey Paper & Designs on Facebook + their blog. And use code GUSSY for 15% off your entire order until August 31st!
Good luck! xo
I love the monogram iPhone case!!

Maggie I love your iPhone case! And I might have to get one of the clipboards for myself. I’ve decided to go back to school to get my master’s in Higher Ed and one of those with “Kasey” on it would look fantastic on my desk :D
PS How is the move impacting mentorship sessions? I imagine you need some time off to pack, move, unpack. Are you going to post letting us aspiring indie business owners know when we can chat with you again?
@Kasey M., I will be be taking 2 weeks off but in the meantime we’ve added a couple more days to the schedule, the rates have been lowered + the packages have been updated. Check it out! We should chat soon! :) http://www.gussysews.com/mentorship-program/
