Halloween is on the way!

Halloween 2010 Front CoverThe Halloween issue of Celebrate365 is off to the printer tomorrow morning.  This is was created electronically in its entirety.  No proofs printer or sent, all digital images, pdf proofs … There’s definitely a learning curve but we survived the new experience and I think we can continue.

The Halloween issue continues to outsell all the other seasons.  This year, Celebrate365 received submissions from 71 different artists, designers and manufacturers.  Talking about record-setting participation!  This just might be the best issue in our history … well you can tell us!

We anticipate shipping this issue during the last week of September.

Want to order a single copy?  No problem.  Please CLICK here!  You’ll find a quick preview of what you’ll read about in this upcoming issue!

Celebrate365’s Spring 2010 issue!

Cover design:  Sheryl Parsons – Mother’s Dream Artworks

Celebrate365 is beginning its second decade of reporting holiday, ornament and folk art news. I can hardly believe that it has been 10 years since this little “retirement” pastime began. How technology has changed in those 10 years! Back in October 1999, I used my brand new, top of the line 1.5 megapixel Sony digital camera to take photos for the the Halloween test issue. I must say that my camera and editing skills have improved significantly over that first black and white issue.

I’ll be announcing 10th Anniversary celebrations and surprises in the coming days and weeks. Stop back often for updates!
