New Designs at Sober Notes!

To see the entire collection of Sober Notes, click here.

This notecard is a cute take on the critical principle of humility. Attributed to the late, much-loved, much-missed Jimmy B. from Manchester/Bolton.

Good heavens! One of the favorite recovery slogans of all time! A cute dog with a leash is way more appealing than a load of laundry or a sinkful of dirty dishes!


No explanation needed.

A cute message on the critical principle of humility... This phrase was coined by the late, but much loved, Jimmy B. from Bolton/Manchester
Ah! Been around the rooms for a while and need a little reminder of the horrors of our former lives? This card reflects the phenomenon of listening to a fellow sufferer tell their story when, suddenly, the grace of identification brings us back to "what it was like."

In early recovery, a lot of us thought this notion was stupid. As it turns out, it was the one brain activity missing in all our dealings with the day to day life of active alcoholism.

Recovery Note Cards

I just wanted to dust off my rusty blog (which serves as sort of a website) to announce a new endeavor: 6 note cards with envelopes, each with a recovery slogan, in a boxed set.  I am selling the initial run of the note cards locally, since the only way I could sell them far and wide would be on Zazzle and I have not taken the time to upload the designs. Plus, I am enchanted with the little brown boxes and the physical note cards themselves.

Here is a link to see all the designs: SOBER NOTES

Also, I found a great printer: The Print Hub

At some point, I will do a post on why I've been away from doing any graphic design. It's quite a long and convoluted story. It involves lost eyesight, technology, advanced ophthalmic care and the problems of being a stranger in a strange land.

Best (and warmest—) regards!

Flannery O'Connor Button

I have a new category in the Zazzle store, and here's the first item:

Flannery O'Connor Button
Flannery O'Connor Button
by BestRegards

If you love the American writer, Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964), here's a small button you can wear to writer's conferences and workshops, library gatherings or even bars. If a person "gets it" (and, Lord, how I hate that expression, but it'll keep this post shorter ...) then you probably have just found a friend. If someone asks you about it, you might make a friend or introduce an existing friend to the work of one of our best Southern writers. One of our best writers-period.
