Hello friends! Sorry it has been awhile. We've had quite a bit of deadlines and birthday celebrations lately, how about you? This past weekend my daughter turned four! I look back and think about how much has changed and been accomplished in four years and it is exhausting…yep, parenthood in one word, EXHAUSTING. Before kids I always thought these parents were complaining about something so trivial (Take a nap already!) but now I totally get it. Seriously it has been a joyful and good four years.

During the summers of 2000 and 2001 Andy and I were able to spend extended time in Florence, Italy…we made many wonderful Italian and American friends and when I look back at that time, it is still life-changing in every way. Living in another...

Hello dear friends! I have been busy lately with quite a few mundane things such as ordering new rollers for a press, more paper (always more paper), new roller height gauge, and finally lighting and signage for my booth for The National Stationery Show. I've got a few projects on the books that need to be printed so just waiting for plates and finishing of designs …over the course of the next few weeks you'll see some new printed pieces. But in the meantime I thought I'd just take a few photos around the studio and tell you some funny...
