The Halloween issue of Celebrate365 goes to press today! If things go smoothly and they aren’t backed up in the bindery, I should be able to begin mailing on Friday. Keep your fingers crossed!
Graphic designer turned folk artist designed the cover. She was inspired by Dennison’s Bogy books, popular in the 1920s and 30s. The originals regularly sell for over $100. Luckily, reprints are now available on Amazon.
You can purchase a reproduction Bogie Book and Celebrate365 will earn a little something for the color fund. Search the seller and you will find other years available.
On the cover:
Row 1: Christopher Radko Pumpkin Pose
Row 2: Lisa Nelson Green Gretchen; Amelia Schaefer Yellow Two-Faced Sweetie
Row 3: Kristin Beason Pumpkin; Carrie Murtha Owl Spook
Row 4: Arbutus Hunter Melon Mobile; Lori Rudolph Little Winker

Hello,
Congratulations on your new magazine!
~ Gabriela ~
We always loved our daughter Kristen Beason’s work since she started drawing in earnest from about age 5. To see her folk art catapult into the national spotlight is so exciting, but to see her producing her work in her cheery home studio is pure joy!
