Hello. It seems like you had a truly successful event. I’m planning an event to promote last minute sale of Christmas cards and small gifts. I’m partnering with a caterer and I want to do something that’s both fun and profitable. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for the mention and the photo of my cards. It was wonderful meeting you. I am also a big fan of Circa Ceramics. They are my studio neighbors and put so much heart into their craft.

nice montage you’ve created here, with the thin slivers of images. Is graphic design a prerequisite for a good blog? Love it!

Those checkbook covers are just lovely! I love anything that brightens up the inside of my purse from being the “black hole” it oft is :)
