Thank You Calendars

2009 CalendarThis past fall, I felt particularly swamped with getting my online store ready for the holiday season, and blogging seemed like just another chore that took too much time. My friend Cathy convinced me to keep at it anyway, maybe just once a week or some reduced schedule until after the first of the year. I’m not quite sure what magic words she used, but instead of slowing down, I’ve been posting more frequently and enjoying myself. Just like those accidental maps I wrote about last week, I’m seeing blog posting possibilities everywhere. And my enthusiasm has been doubly boosted by emails from quite a few people telling me they’ve enjoyed reading my entries! As a thank you to my readers, I’m giving away 2 of my 2009 desktop calendars. Just put a comment on this blog post by Sunday Jan 25th, and I’ll pick the winners on Monday Jan 26th. (If you already have my calendar, I’ll send you a print of your choice instead.)

  1. I’ve only been following for about a month but I love, love, love your blog! I stumbled upon you via SFCB when I was looking for bookbinding classes. I so enjoy reading your posts. They give me a little burst of inspiration every time. Please, keep posting! And creating…I am a huge fan of your work as well.

  2. I’m glad you kept blogging too. I came to your blog via Etsy, but was pleased to learn of your connection to SFCB, where, too long ago, I’d taken courses in letterpress printing and coptic bookbinding. I started as a book lover, but it wasn’t hard at all to transition into a book arts lover, and it’s wonderful to follow the creative journey of a “real live” book artist & poet.

  4. I love your products (have your calendar on my desk at work in fact) and I’ve enjoyed your blog as well — thanks for keeping at it.

    By the way, I just posted about your Reader’s Diary on my own blog.

  9. I’ve also been enjoying your blog posts and am glad that you’ve kept at it. I wish more book artisans would blog! But only if, like you, they have something interesting to say 🙂

  10. Reading your blog is the highlight of my workday sit-at-my-desk lunch. I love reading about your creative process as well as visiting the amazing websites you blog about. Thank you!

  11. I think of you as the most faithful of bloggers. Although I have very few routines in my life (except going to work every day, of course!), I routinely check your blog, languagehat, and the Live Journal handmade books community. That does it for me!

  12. I have only just found your blog and LOVE IT! Please don’t stop blogging! I’ve only just begun my blog and need all the inspiration I can get. Your calendar looks lovely and I would love to win one.
    Thank you so much.

  15. i, too, am so glad you’ve been blogging more often! i love your work! thank you for allowing us a window into your creative corner

  16. I enjoy visiting your blog. You always have such interesting things to post about. Keep it up!

  17. You’ve been sucked into the blogging vortex. Crazy, isn’t it? I’m always thinking about the blog and wishing my camera was with me (it rarely is…).

    So I was going to leave a comment on this post anyway……all the better that this is a giveaway. Pick me! 🙂

  18. Susan:
    I came across your site recently and find your work with letterpress, books, broadsides inspiring and your blog very interesting. Hope you continue with it!
