After an invigorating visit from my parents and Buddy (one of the best dogs ever!), and a great trip to New Hampshire with them to see Willa, her Matt, my uncle, and our cousins for late Christmas celebratin’, we’re getting back into the swing of things around here!
Buddy in the backseat, everyone at [...]
Winter Sky Happy New Year cards!
For once, I’m going to keep this short and simple!: 2008 has been speedy and beyond busy and incredibly rewarding. Here’s to as muche growth, learning, possibilities, and joy as we can all handle in 2009!
On a totally non-holiday note, I found out about the The Paper Place’s huge Chiyogami giveaway by way of a couple of blogs I read on a regular basis and figured it would only be right to share!

And now, pictures! Our good friend (and best promoter e-v-e-r), Caroline, grabbed a couple of pictures of the Craftacular action on Sunday - enjoy!

Yesterday’s Craftacular was a little mayhem, a large push, unbelievably exhausting…and a lot of fun! After a late night packaging and packing spree on Saturday, we hopped in an always-handy Arecibo SUV at 8:45 on Sunday morning and headed to the Metropolitan Pavilion on W 18th Street in Manhattan.

Thanksgiving was a rousing success, and I think a great time was had by all!
Matt & his gorgeous roasted turkey, and everyone enjoying dinner!
And now we’re back to work! I’ve put the whole family to work on various projects, and Willa (my baby sister) had a hand at printing some New Year’s cards [...]
Yes, it’s true, we’ll actually take a break from all this work and take some time to make and eat great food tomorrow, and enjoy the gaggle of a lot of friends and a little bit of family who will descend on our apartment!

Matt and I both love Thanksgiving, [...]
I’m not sure anyone in their right mind is under the impression that we sit around here staring into space, doing nothing, so it’s probably no surprise that we’ve been busy as ever!
Much like the drop spine boxes for letterpress cards, I’ve been wanting to do more in the way of traditional, casebound books for [...]
In addition to the workshops I announced at Brooklyn Mercantile in Park Slope, I have another workshop date confirmed and would love to have you join, if you’re interested in learning how to do some of the stitching and binding techniques I use.
