I opened the best New Year's card this morning from my friend Jaewon, a pop-up card offering wishes of a long life. I expect to live to be 93 (genetics) which I think is a good age. So I especially love the intricate detail of this card.

I love New Year's as a holiday. Not the parties and shooting guns into the air (though that keeps things
exciting) but the idea of a new start. Time to review, reconsider, and
move on. A religious holiday really. Cleansing, cleaning, reflection. I don't talk about it much, but I tend to stay home, take a bath, stretch, write down something for the new year. Lately my list of goals is daunting but I thought of something simple this morning that reminded me that I can finish any of these things I want to. I've been behind all year on things so it is fitting that I am printed New Year's cards last night and wrapped New Year's gifts today. Last year at this time I was looking forward to a year of adventure, of a lot of moving around, new experiences, and learning. Now I am happy to be in this place, with a press to use in the garage to share what I've been thinking about.

So, 2013...expect more printing from this machine. More custom work. More collaborations. Lots more dinners at home and maybe maybe maybe I will bake a decent loaf of bread.
