I'm so excited to announce I was accepted into GLAM again this year! This will be my fourth time, and it just keeps getting better and better. Here's a shot from my booth last year - ... can you see the booth through all the people?! I always have a great time, and you are the people who make it so great.

The energy is always high, the catering is great, the beer is cold, and between all the artists and...

I made some mugs for Broken Shelves Books & Art here in Gainesville Florida (here's their Facebook page). These are ginormous 16-ounce mugs with the Broken Shelves logo on them. Find them locally at Broken Shelves (in the Sun Center behind the Hipp downtown, Gainesville, Florida) or give them a call at (352) 234-6356, Tuesday through Saturday, 5 PM - 11 PM. I bet he'd ship one to you!

Giving back/paying it forward
Posted by 55799468 on
I've never had the kind of money set aside where I could do random large donations to charities or non-profits that represent something I believe in, so to offset that lack I've always tried to be generous with my time. I've volunteered at many organizations here and there throughout the years. Since starting HaldeCraft, though, while having my eye on a couple of different agencies I'd like to be volunteering my time with, regretfully I don't have the time. But I do know of a non-profit group here in town that takes donations, and some of the things on their...
