Who knew bamboo could be so beautiful? Well actually, the people behind Smock Paper did. They also know that bamboo is one of the most earth-friendly sources of paper out there. By relying on it, along with other recycled materials, and by incorporating other green practices into their shop, Smock Paper is truly a wonderfully sustainable operational located right here in the good ol’ US of A. Oh, and of course they make very pretty things.
You may have already heard of Smock Paper from our monthly sponsor shout outs, and if so you probably remember them for their stunning letterpress greeting cards, party and wedding invites, and the like. Well they’re here this week to give one of you a sweet $100 shopping spree while introducing some new products to amp up your note-taking, gift-giving, and memo-jotting adventures.
Just like all of their other products, these colorful items come with an eco-tastic spin. Like the memo pad above whose letterpressed bamboo cover protects 90 sheets of 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Or the cube of 700 sticky notes below that also comes from recycled paper.
While those items could dress up your office nicely, they’ve also got graphic beauties like double-sided wrapping paper, gift bags and even gift boxes that all boast punchy designs on recycled materials that would certainly dress up your next gift or look great in your home office.
Now let’s get on to how you can enter to win:
- PRIZE: $100 towards anything on Smock Paper’s website
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BAMBOO ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …since Smock makes items to help you keep notes, why not share your current note-keeping habit with us. Do you keep a pad on your desk to jot down phone numbers or random thoughts? Do you keep some scrap paper in your purse just in case? Or are you high tech and rely on a voice recorder or phone app to help you remember stuff?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, September 1st at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States AND Canada!
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck…

Bamboo me!!
I am an avid list-maker. I have lists and notes everywhere – on pads of paper, scraps of paper, on my phone, in Word documents on the computer… I was actually off sick a while ago and a friend stopped by. She saw a list I had started earlier in the day and said “well,you must be
feeling better, you’re already making your next list!!”
Stacy says
BAMBOO ME!
I am the post-it note queen. Just take a look at my desk and you will see that I have at least 30 post it notes around to remind me of stuff. However… having that many to look at I often miss over one or two. Maybe I should rethink this…
Joey says
BAMBOO ME!
I try and stay organized with an ongoing list in a small journal. It has to-do lists, addresses, phone numbers, grocery lists. You name it…

Funnelcloud Rachel says
BAMBOO ME!
While I make resolutions all the time to keep all my notes in a single notebook, alas, I am plagued by lists all over post-it notes, index cards, receipts…
Kaleigh says
BAMBOO ME!
I use both a wall calendar hung by my desk, and a pink weekly planner I purchased at B&N for about ten bucks! Between school and work and the other work, plus family commitments and outings, I try to color coordinate, use highlighters or sticky notes to make things stand out from the rest! The planner tends to have more specific things, whilst the wall calendar has birthdays, important dates or functions on it-so it’s easier to read!
Regina says
I have little scraps of paper that I keep in my diaper bag, on the desk, on the fridge, on my nightstand…they are everywhere. They tend to be made from my daughter’s construction paper, torn into little pieces. I would definitely appreciate it if you could BAMBOO ME! My husband would love it if the love notes stuck into his pocket were on something other than pink construction paper. (>0^)/”

Love your blog, follow it daily.

As a product, they look absolutely fabulous
Carrisa says
Bamboo Me!
I use post-its at work and have a cute little pink dispenser for them. These are so cute though, I would have to ration them and use them only on deserving people.
Nicole says
BAMBOO ME!!!!
I am a huge fan of those cute, magnetic, list-type pads o’ paper that you can hang on the fridge. I always find some adorable ones in the Target dollar bins! I love that I always know where to go when I need to jot something down…no drawer digging :)

BAMBOO ME
I take notes on whatever is laying around. Notepaper magazines cardboard boxes, you name it.
Lo says
BAMBOO ME! Pen and paper. :)

BAMBOO ME — I try to keep my to do list on my blackberry. When I remember to add it to the phone :)
Ann K. says
BAMBOO ME! I’m completely organized in what is a disorganized way: I will use ANYTHING for notes. And somehow I manage to hang on to most of these scraps for as long as I need them. I have started carrying a small notebook in my purse and find that helpful—only one place to look! I’d love a pretty paper pad or notebook for my desk.

BAMBOO ME!

Sherry says
Bamboo me!!
I am a huge note-taker.
As far as work goes, my assistant always laughs at my files because they always without fail have a TON of colored sticky notes in them. After I take down a note, say if I am at home and something comes to me that I might want to remember for a case I am working on, I write it on a bright post it and affix it to my file once I have the file in front of me. I like to call it my
flair.
As for my purse, I use my iPhone or a moleskine notebook. As much as I love my iPhone, there is something so satisfying about writing on paper.
Ashley McBroom says
BAMBOO ME! I keep my to do list on my macbook calendar but I also have some scrap paper on my desk for quick notes when I need to take something with me on the go.
Odessa Chambers says
BAMBOO ME!!

Staci says
BAMBOO ME!!!
I keep my notes on a “The Office” notepad my friends got me a few years ago (writing all over Jim’s face is fun) but I’m a little “over” the show and i’m looking forward to finding something a little more sophisticated…..
Jamie Mayhew says
BAMBOO ME

Natalie says
oooh, bamboo me!
i keep tons of scrap by my printer, or use the backs of the pages on my desk calendar.
rebecca says
bamboo me!
While I try to keep my lists contained in one place like Sherry does, I’m a teacher that is always on the go, so lists often end up on everything…and then I try to consolidate them when I get a moment.
Sulma says
BAMBOO ME!
