Hobe Sound, FL (ContentDesk) July 06, 2006 -- You Dont Have to Sacrifice Style to Jot a Quick Note (and neither should your friends). That is our motto at Gifts On Paper by Jodi Pereira, an online stationery gift boutique that launched in April 2006.
Gifts On Paper
(www.giftsonpaper.com) is putting a new twist on gifting stationery by packaging unique hand painted designs in ready to give gift boxes complete with a complimentary gift card no gift wrap needed.
Capitalizing on a new trend towards the art of writing, Gifts On Paper offers unique, hand painted stationery designs including their whimsical Flutter-by childrens series, faux floral, festive fruits and wines, and tropical Hawaiian prints.
Each design series comes with a selection of note cards, thank you cards and blank cards.
Most can be personalized.

Holiday designs will be available soon.
-- What's in a Box?
This is what makes Gifts on Paper so unique! Each gift box comes with hand painted stationery (8 cards and matching envelopes) wrapped in tissue paper, a thoughtful gift card and a complimentary gift box available in natural and white, finished with grosgrain ribbon and real pressed daisies.
Gift givers can also customize their gift by choosing from multiple ribbon and daisy selections and by personalizing the complimentary gift card.
-- Our StoryAs the founder and designer, Jodi Pereira began creating note cards as gifts for friends and family.
The positive response was so great, she took it up a notch and began designing gift packages to compliment her stationery designs using pressed daisies, which has become an integral part of her signature gift packaging and overall brand.But perhaps the most inspirational force that propelled her forward was her grandmother, who recently passed away.
When my grandmother (Judy Gaines) passed, I felt that I had lost so much, Jodi Pereira remembers. But after going through boxes filled with old photographs, letters from my father and friends, and notes we often exchanged, I realized how much of her was still with me in the form of words and memories.Digital technology has rendered letters and simple notes almost non-existent leaving little record of our daily lives.
So, why not take the time to write that special note to those we love and call our friends, said Jodi, and leave a little history for our children to enjoy.
I think my grandmother would be proud of such a notion.-- ContactsTo purchase stationery gifts, go online at www.GiftsOnPaper.com.

Spiritual Gifts
I was minding my own business, the other day, or at least, I think I was ... just getting a few chores done. I'm not sure if I was listening to a Christian radio broadcast or not, or what else would have even prompted this thinking. But, this verse came to mind ... love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:12. I already knew however God has loved us is the way He wants us to love and that doing so is our way of thanking Him for how He has loved us. Though, the thought came to mind that, except for the ways God has loved us, it is impossible for us to know how to love. I think I already knew that. However, somehow, the word 'impossible' stood out and, suddenly, it dawned on me ...
If it is impossible to love, other than how God has loved us (and that does seem logical, as love is who God is) that would also mean that (in the area of Spiritual gifts) we would have first had to receive a Spiritual gift before we would have the ability to share that gift with others. And,...

Giving: The Quickest Route To Receiving
Most people know of the proverb "it is better to give than to receive", but we don't always believe it. To most people, giving away something we own is the same as losing it, whether it is money or possessions. That's why most of us are only prepared to give if we have a surplus, have something of little value to us, or know that we are definitely going to get something back in return.
This view of things is based on the idea that there is only so much to go round and if we don't grab and keep our bit, someone else will get it and we'll be worse off. This is a scarcity attitude and results in win-lose, competitive, dog-eat-dog thinking.
But is this the right way to see things? Is there a limit on all good things, like some universe-sized fixed cake? The answer is, quite obviously, No. Even a brief glimpse of the way the world works shows that the world is an ever-growing and ever expanding place.
And it grows and expands through the process of giving...
