I just got back from a trip to Lake Powell in Southern Utah. It was a much needed vacation although I still worked on packaging cards, buttons, cutting out animal heads, etc. If I could work on a boat all the time I wouldn’t complain at all.

Craft Lake City is in exactly one week and it’s a bit overwhelming. There’s still lots to be done, but the overwhelming feeling also comes from the sudden attention we’re getting. Last Friday, during our all nighter, the folks from Printeresting.org held their second Copy Jam during the 6th Annual Printer’s Ball in Chicago where an estimated 3,000 people were in attendance. Shortly after meeting them at SGC in Philadelphia last March, they contacted me and asked if the Friends Make Prints logo could be apart of their event. After a quick consult with the redhead, we were more than willing to partake. I left for Lake Powell before I could see the pictures and all I can say, I wish we were there:

Nextly, one of the most flattering things I have been asked to do is be apart of the 10 (out of 130) artists to be spotlighted and interviewed in SLUG – Salt Lake Underground) Magazine. The article turned out amazing, especially the part where they let my pup Sheila hop in the picture with me and wrote about how important she is.

I am not used to this kind of break and I am very fortunate. Hopefully the streak stays with throughout this week and I get the many things done needed for the Saturday event!
