Surfer Riding a Wave Wall Mural
Buy at AllPosters.com

Have you checked out the gorgeous wall murals at All Posters? They’re totally amazing. There are skylines, world maps, bamboo forests, national parks, Saturn, oceans, etc. Being a world class surfer, I naturally chose the one above to include in the post. You didn’t know that about me, did you - the whole fearless surfer girl thing? Oh, yeah, I’m amazing. I search out the fiercest waves on earth, then I ride the hell out of them. The more sharks around me, the better I like it. If they get too close, I just ride them, too.

True story.

Click through the pic or the link above to take a closer look at this wall mural as well as the others. They’re really amazing.

Yesssss! The stapler doesn’t have to reign supreme on the desk alone. She has blinging buddies. Above, we have the Swarovsky Crystal Tape Dispenser, currently on sale for $180.00.

Below is the Swarovski Crystal Pen Holder. This beauty is on sale for $244.00. I think she’s actually my favorite. My husband would say it’s because it’s the most expensive of the three….so, naturally it’s my favorite.

He’s so cute when he understands the inner workings of my mind. Scary, but cute.

You can now say you’ve seen what a $150.00 stapler looks like. $156.00 to be exact - and that’s on sale, thank you very much. This high falutin stapler is normally priced at $195.

The Swarovski Crystal Stapler is a beauty, I have to hand it to her. All decked out in her crystal bling, she’s fine and apparently knows it. The web site says, “This Swarovski Crystal covered stapler will make everyone in the office jealous.” and I can’t argue with that.

If you or someone you know is wild about Tinker Bell collectibles, here’s a gorgeous desk set that’d have any fan flying high.

The 5-Pc. Tink Fairies Desk Set (above) is the perfect way to stand out in a sea of boring desks.

From the web site:

The web site also has the great looking Set of 2 Tink Fairies Bookends (pictured below), so your shelves can be as glamorous as your desk. That’s important stuff, you know.

If you’re a fun-loving, free-spirited kind of person, this is the desk set for you! Those of us who truly appreciate the off beat and extraordinary will embrace this fun desk set from Disney.

The Mickey Tiki 5-Pc. Desk Set features a pencil holder, paper clip holder (with magnet on the base), stapler, note pad holder with note pad included and tape dispenser.

The Donald Duck Note Pad had me at “Hhher-rro.” That was my Donald Duck impersonation. As if you couldn’t tell.

What’s not to love about this 32 Glass and Aluminum Computer Desk?

It’s functional, yet gorgeous and so deliciously modern. Yeah, I think the modern vibe it’s putting out is what turns me on the most.

Beee-utiful.

The Anji Mountain Rug Co. Bamboo Office Chair Mat (pictured below) is from HomeClick.

From the Web Site:
Anji Mountain Bamboo Rug Co.’s Original Bamboo Office Chair Mat* melds beauty, style and function to create an alternative to the bland, utilitarian vinyl chair mat. There is no product like this in the marketplace!

The Bamboo Office Chair Mat is incredibly durable and will add an elegant touch to any office or home office setting. Furthermore, it is easy to ship and easy to transport. No assembly required!

• 55″ x 57″ with tongue
• 100% Anji Mountain Bamboo
• 5mm thick
• Honey Oak color
• Premium felt backing for cushioning and protection
• Rolls up for easy shipping and portability

Oh, prettiness, prettiness. I absolutely love the way this chair mat looks - and these last so much longer than those plastic thinga-ma-ja-bobs. If you’re a proud owner of a plastic thinga-ma-ja-bob, don’t fire off angry e-mails at me accusing me of hating on your chair mat. Alas, I spend my day hudging, budging, and sailing along on a hard ocean of plastic as well.

For now.

The great looking lamp, above, is the “Orbit Lamp.” Appropriately enough, it’s from TheLightShop.com.

The list price for this ridiculously handsome lamp is $102.00, but The Light Shop has it for only $61. In fact, they have an unbelievable selection of all sorts of lamps with savings that’d bring a smile to even the tightest of tight wads.

The Solara Red table Lamp (below) is also valued at $102 but sold at $61. It’s also a handsome devil.

You HAVE to check out the amazing variety of gorgeous lamps at TheLightShop.com. I recently went shopping offline for a lamp, and never saw any even half as beautiful as the ones on this site. The ones I found were also much higher.

To take a closer look at either of the lamps in this post, simply enter their name(s) in the search field. Otherwise, browse until your heart’s content.

Must.

We’re offering one free Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP to one lucky Office Freaks reader!

First a little about this gorgeous printer. The Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP was designed to be small, sleek, and silent. Doesn’t sound like a lot of printers I’ve known in my life - large, clumbersome, and anything but silent.

With it’s elegant black finish, buttonless soft-touch controls and blue LEDs, it wins the best looking category as well.

It offers fast 17 ppm printing and copying and 4800 x 4800 enhanced resolution color scanning.

Ultra-Compact Laser MFP

• Smallest laser printer/copier/color scanner in the world

To be eligible to win a Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP, you have to share your wisdom, your wit, or a little of both. Simply submit your Office Story to Joi (that’s me) to be published on Office Freaks (you’re there). We will publish each “qualifying” entry we receieve - whether it’s 1 or 100.

The post should be connected to office life in some way - whether at home or away. You could tell how you solved a problem, decorated an office, or even tell a funny story about a co-worker. You could also, of course, give a review of a product you loved or even hated.

I’m not that great with following rules, myself, so I’m not going to throw many at you. Other than this: We will not print any words that are vulgar, inflammatory, insulting, or hateful. If we don’t publish an entry, it isn’t eligible, so tell your words to play nice.

If you have any questions, at all, please e-mail me (joisigers@aim.com) and I’ll do my level best to answer them.

So, how is the winner determined? We will have 13 people read the posts and vote on their favorite. The person who entered the winning post will be sent one of these fetching printers. If there is a tie, the entries that were chosen will be written on index cards and placed into a large bag. We’ll then have one of our daughters pull out a card…. ta da, we’ll have the winner of the Samsung SCX-4500 printer laser MFP.

Spread the word and e-mail me your entires asap - I look forward to reading all of them!
