    Christmas in October
    October 18, 2007

    Today was my “Christmas”, but instead of Santa bringing me packages it was the UPS delivery man.  I was so excited because now I am finally able to print.  I had received my rollers and california wash from NA Graphics www.nagraph.com/storefront.html and my 100% cotton Lettra paper from Cranes www.crane.com/CraneLettra/default.aspx.  In additon, I had received my ink from Kevin (the best ink guy ever!) at Superior www.superiorink.com/.  With all of this and the magnesium plates I had ordered last week from Hodgins Engraving, www.hodginsengraving.com, I am able to start my first run on the Chandler and Price.
