This was exciting -- I need to get some new bookplate designs, but with the economy what it is, money is limited. I called out to fellow artists and got a bunch of really nice designs, which I put into my shop just in time for back to school.
I hope these go over well -- some of them are so nice, I want them for my own collection!
They're all laid out in my shop..Right here

On the road again
Summer time, my favorite... in and out of the house, short trips on little errands. And my customers are always so nice about placing orders and waiting 'til I return. This is a portable business, to some extend -- at least the graphic design part is. The bookplates can also be taken on the road, as long as I have a place to park a few months at a time.
Not much else to say -- gone for just a few days, then I'm back for the fall and winter, despite my itch to go....

Still itchin'
The itch so far isn't going away.
I got a tour of a friend's RV -- much bigger than what I need, but it gave me an idea. And she showed me all the things you have to do.
Went to the library and took out two books, The RV'ers Bible (which I looked at in B and N but didn't buy yet) and Take Back your Life --- both are excellent. Take Back Your Life is especially made for someone thinking about trying RVing full time.
My mother is looking at a retirement home in Dayton - not a good idea because it has to be expensive and she's as broke as I am. But taking her there and discussing it gives me the opportunity to break the news to her that I'm moving on.
My son will be back in school in a couple of weeks, so I can finally start on the house - hard to do with two teen-agers around. I'm going to start first by cleaning out the house of trash and Goodwill donations, sorting yard sale and giveaway stuff, then doing the paint jobs.
Sounds easy, but I know it won't be. But.. you gotta do what you gotta do. Everywhere I go I'm looking at RV's which this time of year are plentiful -- really looking forward to the RV show in early September!
