Above is the
Thanksgiving card I created for this year. As a people we have much to thank
God for, and as a nation we have much to thank God for. Our nation is what
it is today solely by the grace of a holy God. By God's grace America was
founded on the principles of His Word. In our 200+ year history we have
strayed far from those principles so that we are now seeking to banish even
God's name from the public view. Yet God is merciful and gracious to us,
though we seem to have even failed to acknowledge that. It was Alexis de
Tocqueville that so wisely said,
“America is great because she is good. If
America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
As a nation we seem to have forgotten this and have turned out backs on
God.
"...if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2Ch 7:14) |

dear Mother. Each card is a given a gold pearl, red pearl, and pearlescent blue
spatter finish. The card is 4 x 6 and comes with a hand made envelope. The

A new design,
"For a Friend" makes an excellent "just because" card
for your dear friend. The quote I faded underneath "For
a Friend" can be found on the back of the card also. I
left it in its faded form. This is a beautiful card.

There is something very
elegant and romantic about sitting down at your desk, taking out a special
piece of stationery, your favorite fountain pen and opening up your heart to
that special someone whether it be friend, spouse, or family member.
How about custom made personal stationery with your
name at the the top, as in the example above or the one
below?
We offer elegant stationery with your name at the top
done in either the Ornamental Script that you see above
or the heavily shaded Engrosser's Script that you see
throughout the website. The stationery is printed the
old fashioned way with a 100 year old letter press.
Whether you choose letter size or social size we can do
it for you. There is no minimum on the stationery so you
can order as little or as much as you wish. Price is the
same whether you order only 100 sheets or 5,000 sheets.
You can supply us with your favorite paper or we can get
it for you. The choices of paper available is almost
limitless! Please don't hesitate to ask us if you are
not sure what might be the best stationery for you. We would be more than happy to get matching
envelopes for you also.
Keep in mind that the printing isn't limited to letter
or social size stationery. It can be done on A2 cards,
envelopes, whatever suits your fancy. |

Pricing for custom
stationery is as follows: Design, Lettering, and getting it
ready for the printer starts at $100.00. If the design
is quite complicated it could be more than that.
Once the design-work
is done then it will be scanned into the computer (high
res.) and made ready for the printer. The final printer
image is then burned on a disk and ready for you to take
to the print shop of your choice, or for us to take to
the print shop that we use.
Rest assured that our
printer does a wonderful job and is quite reasonable
with his pricing.
