Not aware of any WI connection, but Pittsburgh’s Lisa Krowinski of the Sapling Press is one brilliant writer/designer. Here’s one of my favorites, but check out her etsy site to read all the cards.

I want to get my hands on this book: “Graphic USA: An Alternative Guide to 25 US Cities”. It features both Milwaukee and Minneapolis (both places I’ve lived and loved) and features art from locals Mike Krol and Adam Turman.

Just ordered these prints from Ryan Beshara of Modern Pop and can’t wait to get them! After the holidays, we decided to convert our office into a playroom and I think these will look great in there.

I just love sending and receiving actual printed holiday cards. These are my top two favorites that we’ve received via snail mail… apparently I like the multiple photo cards. (Tiny Prints & Shutterfly) I also like how everyone’s making holiday movies this year. Maybe I’ll start to upload our family videos and create something for next year. Happy Holidays!

LaCrosse will ring in their annual Oktoberfest (a.k.a. DrunkFest) this Friday with the “Tapping of the Golden Keg”. If I were hosting a party, I’d send out these invitations from girl*in*gear.
