I love the sweet dreams 3 style. The bunny is adorable. And I love yellow.

I love all of her pillows, but I really like the Giraffe Mini Square Pillow II. It would be perfect in my daughter’s new pink and orange room

I’m an email subscriber!
as an event planner, i am always looking for ways to “create” space.
the dinding room divider is a great way to do that. it’s much more interesting than just a drape and it folds up again for reuse. awesome.
Joy’s designs are fantastic, especially on the giveaway products. Some of my favorite stuff on her site are her adorable Organic Baby ‘08 designs - I don’t even have kids and would love to have a blanket with her quaint embroidery on it (the bunnies, wildflowers, and goldfish are my favorites).
Her checkbook and business card holders are much cuter than anything I’ve seen on the market so far.

The bibs and onesies are adorable, especially the red giraffe! Nice to know about, as half my friends are pregnant and I expect a lot of baby showers next summer.
(fyi, I was having trouble with your link to her site….it needs a .com at the end.)
I love the limited edition Joy Signature Chrysanthemum Gold set. It is gorgeous. I am such a huge fan of letterpress, and I love the tray and accessories that come with the cards.
I really like the blue gift set. my older sis loves notecards and such that’s definitely going on the ‘possible list’.
i also love the fish pillow! too cute!

I loved the embroidered pillows
the Sweet Dream -Series 1.2
Sweet Dream 3 tote bag– very attractive bag. Cuter than a brown paper sack which is what I sometimes use to haul around my junk.
THe little girl on the bag reminds me of my grandaughter, who loves animals as much as that little girl seems to.
The wall graphics are fabulous! Currently my DD has Littlest Pet Shop graphics but she’s growing up. She loves using graphics as she can change her “decor” at will. I’m trying to teach her, mostly by example, to ‘go green”. I’ve managed to convince her to replace her backpack for a large tote bag.
i love the way the notepads just pop at you! the eyeglass holders were really cute too….
I really liked th Golden Mini Square Pillow II its really pretty. I also like the Sweet Dreams Seris. I am actually thinking of buying it
I love the style of her art - especially the giraffe design
I love the wall ar and the tote and the checkbook and business card holder.
I love to have the Goldfish, Goldfish II, Dragonfly II wrap & boxes. And also, the Joy Sinature Blue (card/envelope set) letterpress.
I want some throw pillows for our new couch, and the Goldfish Rectangular Pillow and Giraffe Rectangular Pillow would match perfectly! The designs are so unique. The notepads are cute, too.
I love the eco room divider as it is so cool and easy to take down and store and reuse. I would love to win this tote to use on my shopping expeditions. Thank you for the giveaway. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL.
i love the dragonfly line from the baby 08 section!
thanks!
The Wall Divider is really cool. Thanks.
I loved the site!
sweet dream series 1.3
I think the wall art are great!
The dinding-echo modular wall divider is a beautiful divider to cut dowm the space in a large room. I love the recycled cotton totes. I love all three.-Sweet Dream 1, Sweet Dream 2 amd Sweet Dream 3.
I like her organic baby 08 designs…especially the green goldfish.
Sweet Dream -Series 1.2 The girl playing the clarinet. The last time I saw my Granddaughter she was in that poise.
LOVE the eco modular wall divider. That’s too cool!
I love the Sweet Dream 1 tote!

thank you so much lenny!!! i really appreciate your support and posting the giveaway on your site. and i look forward to interacting on twitter
Well there is lots to love, but here’s just 2 that really caught my eye. One is the giraffe pillows (one small and one large). I like the ultra suede look and the “safari” motif. But, I must say, the dinding™ - eco modular wall divider is “over the top”. I love the fact that it is not tearable. This works for those of us with kids and large (very large) dogs. Just a side note: we just bought our dog an eco-friendly turtle made out of recycled bottles (for his Christmas stocking) - so cool!
I think the wrapping paper has to be my favorite - its exquisite.
I really liked the pillows until I saw that they contained down feathers - would prefer organic cotton or other cruelty-free filling.
that’s an excellent point monica, the designer will read these comments, hopefully she’ll look into alternatives to down. thanks for your comment!
My favorites are the Hot Juju Notes - To do or Not to do and the Sweet Dream 1 Cotton Tote. I am always torn between buying spring water in its petroleum based bottles, or putting unfiltered water into my body when I eat out. It is reassuring to know that the bottles that are recycled can claim new life with such style! The recycled paper products are beautiful and practical.
