Year three at CTEBVI. And honestly? It just keeps getting better.

We're back at the 2026 CTEBVI Conference in Los Angeles, April 17th & 18th at the LA Airport Marriott.

Here's what we love about being in this room: educators get it. You don't need to be convinced that accessible tools matter. You need tools that actually work in your classroom. Low tech, high touch.

Our sticky notes work for all students. Not an accommodation you have to request. Not a separate material for one kid in the back row. Simple tools that belong on every desk, in every classroom, ready when your students need it.

We'll have special educator discounts at the booth, so stop by, say hi], and grab something for your classroom.

There are two ways to think about accessibility.

One waits for someone to ask.

The other builds it in from the start.

We believe in the second one. Because every time someone has to ask for a seperate accommodation, it takes energy. It's a reminder that this wasn't made with them in mind.

But when accessibility is just there? Already part of a sticky note sitting on your desk? Something shifts. People feel included. Not grateful. Not accommodated. Included.

That's what braille on a sticky note does. It's a small but meaningful product that your probably already using. And it tells someone they were thought of before they had to speak up.

Because color is for everyone.

Anne Mok is an author, voice actor, and advocate for the visually impaired community. She knows what real accessibility feels like.

So when she tried our braille sticky notes and said ""Accessibility at your fingertips!"" ... that meant everything.

No asking. No accommodations. No special requests. Just a sticky note that already included her.

This is why we do what we do. Because people like Anne already know what's missing, and they can feel when someone gets it right.

Anne's new book, Resilience and Purpose, is out now. It's a deeply personal guide through vision loss, chronic illness, and self-doubt, and how those experiences became the foundation for a life filled with purpose and connection. Part memoir, part toolkit, all heart.

Go follow Anne Mok | Blind Storyteller👩🏻‍🦯 and grab a copy.

Thank you, Anne. Your words fuel us. 🧡

We are still buzzing from the first ever SFSF (IYKYK)!

Bringing our Sticky Notes to a mainstream stationery audience for the first time? We honestly weren’t sure what to expect.

Here’s what happened: people picked up a note, felt the dots, and stopped. Every single time. The “wait... is that braille?” moment never got old. Eyes went wide. Fingers traced the dots. Questions started flowing.

And then came the real magic.

We set out sticky notes and markers and let people create. Because stationery is made to be used. What started as a simple drawing station turned into a full blown art gallery. Fish with legs. Cats with heart ears. Monsters with personalities. Every note became someone’s tiny masterpiece, braille dots and all.

Let us know your fav in the comments!!!

This is what bringing “a little extra brightness” looks like 🔥

Krista Webb is a pyrography artist who creates stunning woodburn pieces that tell stories, spark joy, and build connection. Since 2019, she’s been honing her craft—designing intricate pieces digitally, then burning them into wood with incredible precision.

Her work has been featured everywhere from books to PBS, and her Etsy shop is filled with custom creations that people love. (Seriously, check out her Instagram—her process videos are mesmerizing.)

When she shared her experience with our notes, we couldn’t stop smiling:
“I absolutely love the braille of each colors on the bottom. Quite lovely! Thank you for bringing a little extra brightness to the world! 😎”

Krista uses our Braille sticky notes to organize her creative workspace. The tactile color system fits right into her process—no extra steps, no barriers, just tools that work the way she does.

That’s the whole point: when everyday products are designed for everyone, creativity takes center stage.
Krista, thank you for sharing your story with us. Your work is absolutely stunning, and we’re honored to be a small part of your creative toolkit.

Repost from I absolutely loved this and had to repost.

As a kid, Kathryn rolled her eyes when her mom made everyone write their own name before Thanksgiving dinner. Now she sees what that moment was really offering. This year she brought the tradition full circle with a table full of family, familiar dishes, and those handwritten names waiting at each seat.

We love being a quiet witness to the traditions that make us who we are. The little things that remind you that you belong right where you’re sitting.

Remember “no phones at the table!”

Alt: A warm, lived-in Thanksgiving table with plates piled high, half-finished stuffing, and orange sticky-note place cards scattered around each setting. One note reads a handwritten name. It’s a heart-warming tradition that feels familiar, a little chaotic, and full of family. The kind of moment where old traditions quietly slip into new hands.
