I called Paper-Source today to inquire about the weight of their envelopes (specifically the Curry envelopes I ended up ordering online). Turns out they are 80lb text weight. That's my gold standard from now on. It's got a very nice feel to it and it's very solid. No more flimsy 60 lb weight envelope for this here gal. Thank you paper-source, you rock.
I ordered the A7.5 curry envelopes a couple of weeks ago as the store I went do did not have them in stock. I ordered 10 packs (each pack has 10 envelopes so I got 100 envelopes total) and with both the 50% off sale and the 10% off coupon code I had in an email, I ended up paying $ 22.50 (before shipping and taxes). Nice!

On #13. Backup my computer
Whee...! I finally got one thing done per my thirty two by 32 list!! Go me!
A few weeks ago, I ordered this baby from Amazon. Do I really need 1TB? No, it's kinda overkill, but I figured OS can use it to back up his computer as well and maybe we can store all our music on this sweet storage device as well.
The external hard drive actually arrived a few days ago but I've been busy getting the wedding favors ready for my brother-in-law's wedding so I only got around to tackling this task tonight. I chose to back up my entire computer so it took 3 hours and 9 minutes but my baby's all backed up now. Hmm...that didn't come out right.
And just in case I ever need to restore any data, this looks like a good article.

Diy envelopes

Paper source - colors
source
curry- #7405M (you’re probably printing on uncoated stock, but the solid matte book matches better than the uncoated book), or #7405U but lighter. It has a twinge of green to it.
pool- #7464U, slightly deeper
lake- #7468U, but a shade lighter
Guess who's in town???
Here's a hint...
Oooooh yeaaaah, Paper Source baby! I'm so excited because a paper store opened up close to me - I'm such a paper nerd! My love for paper Source began during my wedding planning days, constantly reading wedding blogs and seeing all the delicious paper choices and numerous stationery colors other brides purchased from their local Paper Source. I never ordered from the store because, let's face it, it's kinda pricey and I'd have to pay shipping to boot.
Well, I resisted the urge to purchase any products from them ...that is until i saw these envelopes, in a lovely yellow color named 'curry'. I swooned and almost hit the submit button on my purchase but still, the prices deterred me. I wanted to purchase a single pack or a sample so I could verify the color was indeed as awesome in person, as it was online, but again, the shipping costs held me at bay.
Fast forward to last night, I decided to purchase some A7.5 envelopes (aka #7) so I went a googlin' and guess what the first search result was? you guessed it, Paper source. I clicked on the link and gazed longingly upon the curry A7.5 envelopes which would be perfect for...I don't know what yet, I'm sure I'll find an occasion or someone to make invites for :).
It gets better! I discovered the curry colored envelopes are 50% off! Yay!!! I put 10 packs in my shopping cart and was about to hit submit when I decided to check out their store locations again. Maybe I'd find an excuse to drive to NY or DC to check out these envelopes in store first.
Well, whaddya know, I clicked on 'New Stores and what did I see???
"Paper Source Ardmore - NOW OPEN!"
Eeeeeekkkkk!!! They just opened up last weekend August 28th! Wow, it must be fate! I just so happen to be off from work today and I was going into the city to run some errands. I am SO stopping by this new store !
