My new cards, swoony technonerdboys, and dancing


Debbie's Blush card design: Love Birds


One of the new letterpress cards in my card line at Blush Publishing. I just got word that my cards are now being sold in Australia in addition to having distributors/vendors in Japan, U.K., Canada and the U.S.

We're still looking for more people to sell the cards in North America, so if anyone out there knows someone in the retail business (not just in North America, but ANYWHERE) who might be interested in carrying my cards, PLEASE do let the people at Blush Publishing know.

Speaking of lovebirds, Walter is continuing to upload photos from the wedding weekend. In addition to getting some great photos of Erin and Rand, he also has a ton of photos from others at the wedding. Here's one I love of John (Allison's husband) and me, doing our first and last karaoke stint:

I also like this photo Walter took of Allison and Jodi while they were all checking out some Buffalo area shops as well as doing a bit of sightseeing (I was in the bridal suite, taking pics of Erin getting ready for the wedding):

Jeff makes me swoon



One of the (many) things I love about Jeff is that not only is he a geeky technonerdboy, but he also loves doing handyman stuff and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty.

Jeff and finished fence


After our friends helped us take down our old fence, Walter and Jeff put in new posts, and then Jeff built the fence above. He did this on one of the hottest days this summer so far(!). Our neighbour's son did most of the painting.

Coolest news of the week:



Esquire uses e-paper for its anniversary issue: I am SO going to buy this issue, whether or not I'm interested in the magazine. I've lusted after e-paper ever since reading Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age.

My current favourite video



The best video I've seen in a long time. Made me a tad happy-weepy, it did. Thanks to Jeff for the pointer.
