My Little Printing Press
I spent part of the weekend printing Christmas cards. That's our 2007 version above, or at least the outside part. I took it a few winters ago, near Christmastime at the cottage and decided to press it into service this year. I had done my own cards for a number of years before regressing for the past few, but I decided that it was high time to put some of my remaining card stock to use this season.
If you had told be a few decades ago, let's say in 1980 before household computers began to become part of our lives, that I'd soon have my own printing press in a small corner of my den, I would have looked at you askance. But I do. If you had told me that I'd have a digital darkroom that produced better results than the local photo processors ...
I think Gutenberg, Man of the Past Millennium, would have been pleased.

ReplyDeleteThere is so much more of a personal touch to homemade Christmas cards. And homemade cards are sooo much better than they once were.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo of your cottage. It is the perfect wintery scene.
Holy smokes AC, I think that photo was from one of the very first posts that drew me to your blog a few years back. I distictly remember it.

ReplyDeleteAnd yes, technology which we take for granted today would have been mind-boggling science fiction 30 years ago.
