Dear Mice: I am off again, this time to the long-anticipated beach vacation with my mom. I will be posting as regularly as possible next week, although I anticipate my Mouse brain will be clouded with tropical drinks and sand. But I'll do my best to share it all with you!In the meantime, welcome to the first ever Good Mouse, Bad Mouse giveaway! Yay! The people over at Paperwink, who have lovely and delicious things, are giving a customized rubber stamp. Mouse bought three Paperwink stamps recently, one for our address and one each for Boyfriend and Mouse to mark their books with before our libraries* get combined.
Our book stamps look like this:
And our address stamps look like this:**
But Paperwink has many other nice stamps in store for you. Look at this other book stamp they designed, for which I am now pining:
Plus, they have all kinds of gorgeous address stamp templates, like this.
So! Visit Paperwink, and leave a comment here by next Friday. I'll randomly choose one person to win a stamp of his or her choice. In your comment, tell us which of your books most needs to be stamped so that nobody else underlines it or folds down its corners.*** Or tell us which design you like best.*Yes, I say "libraries." When Mouse and Boyfriend moved last year, we had about two thousand pounds of books and about two pounds of other stuff. Both of us treat our books as friends.
**Not Mouse's real name or anything. This is just the template.

Have a wonderful vacation with your mama.
Were I to have a book stamp it would be used to identify my books when I give them to my sister to read only so that she knows not to give them back to me when she is finished but to someone else. Otherwise we pass books back and forth, shaking our heads, saying "Have I read this?"
I've been lurking for a little while, but this seems the perfect opportunity to come out from the shadows. I love stamps *and* own a gazillion books.
Your blog is so wonderful, by the way. It makes my heart smile.
Oh! How fun! We need an address stamp for our wedding invitation envelope flaps. For those purposes, I think that Branch or Curly would work best.
I would love an address stamp like curly for all of the bridal shower and wedding thank you I'll be sending out in the next several weeks! And it saves a lot of writing for telling people our new address
I would like an address stamp for stamping on my socks. Then maybe my socks will know to come home to me rather than going wherever it is they go when they are missing.
These are lovely, Mouse.
I adore Paperwink! My only problem is that I can never decide on one design. I want all of them.
Asking me to choose a favorite book is cruel. I love them all equally. And I dogear their pages (bad me!), so I can't blame that on anyone else.
I would stamp Les Miserables because it's been my favorite for such a very long time that I can't bear to let it go.
Next in line would be Jane Eyre, followed by a Tale of Two Cities. Probably followed by my remaining bajillion bookshelves full because I love books and stamping things. :)
Squeak! So exciting, Mouse!
I LOVE the 'wildflower' one, but then again, I kind of love all of them a little bit, too.
My books, which are most definitely my friends, would all be stamped. Partly so I could just stamp away happily for a while (some days, you would think) and partly because if I ever parted with any, they'd always know who loved them the most.
Happy beach-ing, too! x
how cute, i like the address stamp!
have a lovely trip.

What beautiful stamps! I am certainly in the market for a new address stamp as I am currently packing up my own 2000 lb of books to move them across town. My favorite of the bunch is the Vintage Typewriter. Enjoy your trip!
Have a great vaca - love these stationary goods!
I got my brother a stamp of his face and I feel compelled to get one for myself and stamp everything I own with my image... which sounds a bit grabby but isn't meant to.
I love those stamps! I've been using tree and leaf stamps to make our wedding reception table names. Each table is a different author name (all our favorites) and a quote we love from them. They will sit framed on top of a stack of old books I've been collecting from library book sales.
So books are my love. I would love to get the "Vintage Typewriter" stamp for our address or a stamp to mark my favorite books in my library A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Book Thief, all of my Douglas Adams, P.G. Wodehouse, too many to list!
