Year at a Glance – January 2011
Last year, I initiated a monthly post where I looked back at the preceding 4 weeks and using one of the 11 boxes surrounding our hand drawn Australia Map Journal, recorded a *highlight*. Over the course of the year I created a sheet simply summarizing ‘2010 ~ Year at a Glance’ It was such fun looking back and […]
NEW Year & NEW 5th edition Mail-It Map about to be published

We’ve now sold 100,000 Australia Mail-It Maps 😀 And we’re getting ready to publish the 5th edition! It’s been through a few metamorphoses – some planned and some due to circumstance – but it certainly is a highlight of the year to reach 6 figures of sales 😉 Mail-It Maps keep family and friends posted […]
