Abby Rose, the V.P. of Fun, here at CraftSanity is turning 5 next week, so we’re crafting up a storm to get ready.…

1 week ago by craftsanity 2019 is off to a busy start and I’m thrilled to have some great momentum going. Just got back from the post office (made it there a comfortable 10 minutes before close) and now home to edit a podcast, prep more CraftSanity orders and prepare for a whole new semester of teaching journalism. I’m looking forward to some cool opportunities ahead and committed to early workouts and lots of water bottle refilling. : ) P.S.

(The tree’s name is Red, by the way.) The fact that I consider trees to be dear friends in the same way I regard books, it’s no surprise that I got caught up in this story and was shedding jumbo, elephant tears by page 188. The

3 days ago by craftsanity I rescued some overpriced type from an antique shop today. It always makes me sad to see fonts all broken up by people looking to cash in by selling letters piece by piece. But at least these orphan letters will get a chance to get inked again. : ) #letterpressprinting #woodtype #type #fonts #letters #craftsanitypress #printer #orphantype #letterpress
