Well, Since You Asked

At least one of you has, anyway. Lynn asked me to show some book covers I have designed. I did that yesterday, so today you can see some of the business cards I have designed for friends and family. Some of these businesses aren't operating anymore, so don't bother calling.

We'll start with a local floral designer. This woman is still working but under a different business name and in a different location.

This is a card I did for my sister's floral design business. I removed the phone number because I'm not sure she's looking for more business and might be surprised by out-of-state calls.

Here are two options I gave my niece the music teacher. She chose the green one because the other one suggested she only teaches small children. She's right, but I still like the design. The green option is printed with black ink on a sage green cotton card stock.

And this was for a woman I know who was hoping to launch a jewelry-making business. It never took off, and now she has moved out of town. I am hanging on to this design in case it comes in handy later.

When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...

I'm In the Paper Today

Here is an article in today's Small Town Newspaper.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want. This is the photograph I had in mind while I read Clemens' dictations. He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
