| Happy New Year!
I just wanted to send a brief note at the threshold of 2020 — I hope you had a good 2019 and are looking forward to the New Year. Our family grew by one little red-haired grandson last year, so we will be remembering 2019 with an extra bit of delight.
If you're feeling in a wintery mood, you might enjoy the poem "To Winter" by William Blake. I think it captures the hard chill of the season perfectly.
May you have a peaceful and joyful year!
Warmly,
Janice Campbell

What went well? Where were the transcendent moments? What could I have done differently? What do I need to learn? Have I been grateful? . . . (READ MORE)

Website news: I recently opened SoulCraft Printables, an Etsy shop for printable quotes (both chalkboard and minimalist style) from my commonplace books and printable planner pages. I have more quotes to add, and hope to eventually add some printable copywork in both italic and cursive, but that might happen after the convention season gets underway in March. If there's a particular quote you might like to see, please let me know!
Upcoming website move: Our Everyday Education bookstore site has been experiencing some oddities such as products being marked out of stock when they are in stock, so we will be switching to a new store platform early this year. I hope you'll come by and test drive it! |
