I was burning the midnight afternoon oil working on a client’s email blast when I was interrupted by an extremely excited six year old. “Mama, Mama, come and see, I finished my craft I was working on.” So we hoped down the stairs to the kitchen.

If it were not for Gary’s hard work rebuilding the press and his willingness to share letterpress, this would have never happened. I am blessed to have the means to start this new endeavor – it is a dream coming true!
Hi All.. Here’s a quick update before we head out on the road to pick up our new letterpress. Yay! Can you believe it is finally happening? I will post more pictures and hopefully a video or two really soon.
Gary just posted an awesome post about getting my press ready. I’m not gonna lie, I got a little misty eyed when I read the first line on his website GJohanson.Blogspot.com.
