What's New in June
Here we are halfway through the year, and for you long-time followers, it’s once again hurricane season. According to the weather report, we might have our first disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico starting this week. Like all things weather related in Florida, all bets are off as to what it’s going to do.
While I wait for the rain that should come soon, I have been working in the garden and have a new batch of black swallowtail caterpillars munching on the parsley I put out just for them. I might have to make an emergency run to buy more though since there are more eggs than I thought on those plants. Gotta be able to feed the little critters once I protect them.
Been a very busy May as I finally—been putting this off for years—got myself organized enough to write, print, publish, and bind a lot of new books and booklets for a variety of interests. However, I have been focused on writers for the moment, so most of my books/workbooks/spiral journals are bookish in nature. They are shop ready, so you’ll see them this month.
In the meantime, here is one of my black swallowtails as it emerged from its chrysalis.
What’s New
Notecards: New dog cards that have been very successful right out of the gate. So far, the most popular is the border collie with the French bulldog coming in second.
Address Labels: So many new designs for address labels with dogs, tropical living, USA 250 birthday, and more.
Stickers: I have so many stickers around my work station that I can’t see my daytimer any longer. I am experimenting with stickers and coloring books. Stay tuned!
Until next month,
Julie

Things to Look Forward To:
New Products:
Journals: I have published a number of journals and booklets that I don’t have in the shop yet, but they are coming. I am doing bundles and booklets focused on boutiques.
Notepads: My first blank notebook has been completed, and when I get the glue part figured out—gotta keep the pages in the book– then I will post them.
Bookmarks: The bookmarks will move into production this month.
