Beautiful Sunrise

A beautiful sunrise is definitely one of the rewards for getting up early. This was the view out my window one morning earlier in the week. Today is almost like spring. No coat needed, a vest is plenty. So nice. Enjoy your weekend, Rosemary.

My Favorite New Year's Card | Letterpress

This is by far my favorite New Year's card. My friend Richard McGeehan always uses the best letterpress stationery. My photo doesn't do the card justice. The wonderful paper is almost as thick as a coaster and the impression is very deep. Thank you Richard.

Here is his design website: http://www.mcgeehandesign.com/

He is very talented and we have been friends for years. The website is relatively new and doesn't begin to show his true talent.
