i'm still here, really

I know. It seems as if I've fallen off the face of the earth. I haven't – I am still here. The thing is I got pretty sick for two weeks with this very persistent viral cough and I'm only just now getting better. So I am behind on many things, but I'm pleased to let you know that I have Valentine's Day cards ready!


I think they're quite nice – sweet but not saccharine. And I think you could send them any time of year, really. In my shops right now – here and here.

In other news ...

+ My cleaned up website is almost done. Or I mean to say I am almost ready to make the leap. I'm hoping I like it. I'm hoping you will like it.

+ I am totally undecided on whether to move my online journal over to said new website (as it appears now, if you click over there) or whether to keep this one going. Thoughts? I am not very good at posting regularly, but I do enjoy it and I'm not sure the Cargo Collective platform really allows for online journal entries very well. Anyway, it seems to be that this blogging thing only gets harder if I put it off, if that makes sense. Case in point – my long absence from this space as of late ...

+ I think I mentioned briefly, at least over at the new site, that I might start – from time to time – to sell some of the other things I work on in my spare time, like knitting and felt wreaths and packaging supplies. But I have since re-evaluated this, at least for now, while I am playing catch-up with just about everything. I decided that the knitting that I so love to do will stay a project just for myself and those friends and family who receive goodies. Maybe, just maybe, when I feel like I have more free time I will offer up these things, if people are interested.




+ The first packages for Mailbox Monthly go out tomorrow! A little late, but oh-so-lovely.

+ Last of all, I was super excited to see that Satsuma Press was nominated for The Poppies Papergoods Section. Won't you please go over there and vote for me?

+ Last of all, for real – thank you for visiting me here. I wish you the happiest of days in this new year.
