Happy new year!(scene on my fire escape at 1 pm today...had to clear off the 3 or so inches of snow to get this shot!)

It's snowy and wonderful in Montpelier today. I wish you could all be here to see it. I'm sending my best wishes for the new year out into the blogosphere (and the webworld at large)--and directly to you.

I'll be taking a week or so off after the holiday to get my end-of-year business stuff in order, but after that, watch out for:

*new letterpress workshops*
**more blog posts, more of the time**
***fancy new stationery sets***
****an etsy shop full of may day goodness****
*****my original artist's books (available soon!)*****

Cheerio!

So I haven't been keeping up with my resolutions...but for a good reason.

My friend Cecilia has an online shop selling beautiful things for kids. She was one of the first to buy a BINGO Book, and recently asked if I'd thought about doing a little something for her shop. How could I say no? The result is a one-of-a-kind (so far) BINGO album. I just finished it this morning and couldn't wait to show it off!


Please be kind. Respect my ideas--but comment all you like!

a new year, and now what?

So today at work, slinging coffee and bagels, I decided that nothing says 'Happy New Year' quite like a new post. Oh, and a few resolutions...

A#1. I am A#1. I am A#1. I am A#1. I count more than you do. So phooey.

The biz: something's gotta happen soon...I feel like I'm at a peak on a roller coaster, and I don't know if it'll go any higher, or if it'll cruise into the station for a refresher. I'm hoping for option number 1. To that end, I've busted my bum to get nine new journals up on Etsy, because the rest of them sold out! Yay! Take a peek at the pictures below.

Walking is good. I am trying to take at least a short walk every day, even if that just means walking to work--which I should do anyway.

Keep posting on the blog! My goal is for 3-4 a week, since my fancy new digital camera is so awesome. Now I just need to get better at taking pictures!

So I guess that's it for resolutions. Happy New Year to y'all!
