Twelve years ago I sent a class of my students around to the grocery stores in Bozeman, Montana to price a list of items they felt everyone should be able to afford (it was a special topics class on food insecurity). I wonder how these prices compare with today’s Bozeman (or Kenny Lake & Glennallen)

Keeping up with a website steals Saturdays. I try to upload the latest of my ‘daily prints’ in a timely manner, but it takes away time & effort I need to be able to cook delicious meals, deal with trash & actually make prints. It’s helping procrastinate against writing my artist statement though🤣💕

I’ve made prints with ‘add joy, don’t steal it’ before—message reinforcement is always key with me 💕

I have a show in Juneau January-March (Davis Gallery in Centennial Hall), so I’m printing a few styles of greeting cards to have for sale. All my ideas for what to print have to do with love; I’m not sure if that’s a good idea or not. Love rules my life but I also know it can be 🤮

Keeping the holiday cards simple this year ♥️ (Yay for Penny Farthing type!) I might spice it up and print a few in gold too. The paper I bought is luscious and perfect for this to-be-mailed-to-those-far-away batch of love. (Yay Box Car Press!) 💕
Ok….and yay to Letterpress Inks for the fabulous ink!

The full moon from the other morning was so lovely and so peaceful. Fall is still with us in Kenny Lake, Alaska, and I hope it stays awhile longer. I’m not yet ready for snow 💕

For years I thought that someone would steal this sign before I’d be able to take it. Thanks to good friends and the owner of the building who raised no fuss about my having the sign, the Dean’s Groceries sign has travelled north from Hyder, Alaska, to be with me in Kenny Lake. Hallelujah 💛🧡💛

Mainly because of our insane road trip down to Prince Rupert, BC (I really wasn’t thinking about distance when I planned it), it’s been nearly a month since I last printed. Today I did the 1st two layers on a print that showcases the reason for our trip, a stay at the Cassiar Cannery 💕

While we were in Hyder earlier this month, my husband took the Dean’s Groceries sign off the building. My oldest childhood Hyder friend brought the sign back to Kenny Lake for me. I grew up in this once-was-a-baptist-church building and my dad was Dean 💛

The swans have come for a visit (and maybe a reprieve from the wickedly blowing wind) 💕

It’s 53F/12C, rainy, and verrrrry grey out. I hate to say it, but it feels like the end of summer. Sigh.

I also printed a little welcome note to the baby grebes that appeared in the pond yesterday. Baby grebes bring me joy. Long live the grebettes! 💕

First layer. Not making it a ‘please’ situation. Most guests would already know, but not all. Cabin-with-outhouse life in Alaska is very this. 🤣😁

Love is a wonderful thing. Happy Anniversary to us (and yay! to printing out a little joy) 💕
Also, I love the types that I used: Montpassie, Penny Farthing, Binner Gothic, and an unknown 💕

Let there be cheering & appropriate amounts of bathing—the bath house is operational and we no longer have to shower out of a 5-gallon bucket 💕

This will get another layer or two, but hot-diggity it felt good to print this. It’s also sparked some good convo with the hubs 💕
