| Mom + Dad are wondering how many Cottonwood limbs a Golden Retriever can move. Any guesses would be welcomed. Chainsaws are more than welcome to come visit us. The skies are blue, the air temperature crisp, the limbs many, petting a Golden Retriever.... priceless. |

| Well, I have spent many a night chained to the 'ol printing press and can now say I have finally finished our new 2012 calendar after many, many, many (lots) months of thinking about it. Check it out at our Etsy Shop here. For those of you who don't know me, let me just say it takes me FOREVER to decide things! Like deciding on a size or format (large poster, 4 seasonal cards, a notebook style calendar…), the list goes on. Once I finally settle upon something I just go with it! I am so smitten with my choices: a 140 pound "antique" paper that once you feel it in your hands, you just fall in love with it, for those paper lovers out there! The 4" x 6" size works well for a desk or work space area. But the most exciting addition was the Aspen "stump" holder that goes along with each 2012 Calendar. Doug cut all 40 of them just oh so "perfectly" even though each one has it's own "individual" personality and the best part is you can re-use the little Aspen holder for years to come. The printing itself went incredibly smoothly for me. As many of you know the most time-consuming part is changing ink -- You have to clean-up the press EACH + EVERY time, and the Golding’s rubber rollers are sometimes weird and very unforgiving. And on that note .... stay tuned for a 2012 Calendar GIVE-AWAY, coming soon. |

| I just could not resist this beauty! Let's see what the Moose Boy thinks when he gets back home. Stay tuned because if he hates it IT will be for sale! |

| Mom has chained herself to one of the printing presses, oh my! I hope everyone decides to order this calendar so I can get lots of doggie treats, wheat free of course. More info + photos to come when Mom comes out of the Studio to pet me. I did over hear something about each month going through the press at least 4 times, that's a lot of dog years. What do you think? |

| I am so glad pool season is coming to a close, as many of you know swimming is NOT my thing! Happy Autumn to all + enjoy those cool morning walks running through fallen leaves. I know we will. Tail wags to all. |

| Suzanne + Robin = 2 fun, fun, women who loved, loved paper. You would not be able to tell they just met and spent a few hours together producing some beautiful BLUE stationery + coaster sets! I knew immediately Suzanne had a true love of paper.... a stationery distributor herself while living in the Windy City. She has this special twinkle in her eyes... a Mom to be (she needs to be thinking about some pink announcements for the new addition coming soon, HO HO HO). Can you tell Robin has a LOVE of animals? A woman of many healing talents for sure. See what her passion is here |

| I am always loving what Letterpress Workshop participants decide to create. Yes, BLUE pinecone coasters, truly stunning! Great job Suzanne. |
 |
| Besides her Lupine stationery, Robin created this beauties to give out to her clients. WOOF! |
