Sundays With The Old Man
March 8th, 2010
The Old Man
For the last couple of months, my Sundays have been spent with The Old Man: Our C&P Letterpress that is. We bought this little guy about a year ago and we still had not found an appropriate name for him. Some other names thrown out were Winston, J.P. and Archibald. Then one day, my sister called our dad “Old Man” and like a bolt of lightning, our C&P had been appropriately named: The Old Man.
My dad, sister and I have been the three musketeers recently… especially on Sundays. So I thought it would be really sweet to dedicate a space on my blog for our little Sunday printing parties! We might even have to start sending out invitations because they are that much fun….
Chocolate Hippo with The Old Man
My sister Libbie lives in Germany with her husband and three kids. She always seems to find the most interesting and yummy treats to send to us Americans. This Sunday, we enjoyed a tasty Happy Hippo, it was so delish! Isn’t he cute?! Sorry buddy!
This Sunday’s project was inclosed business cards. Since we opened up a storefront, we had to print new cards. I ordered awesome handmade paper from Porridge Papers in Lincoln, Nebraska. The paper is so amazing so I wanted to keep the copy and design very simple and clean.

They turned out really great! I love glitter!
Stay tuned for next week’s segment “Sundays With The Old Man” to see what our print shop is up to… and what German treat will be eaten next!
