was happy to hear about this new book. i have had a lifetime interest in maps of all kinds. loved being the navigator for family trips, even the short ones. when i need directions to a new place i usually draw my own style map to use to get there. guess that makes me a cartophile.
I am really wanting to see the inside of this book. Looks so interesting!
Sounds very interesting. Please add my name to Santa's hat.

Especially during this month's busy days, it would be fun to map my way through the holidays -- and then enjoy them all over again as a visual journal.
This seems like a fun book.

Hi Lisa,
Could you please tell me more about your workshop at the end of March? Would be interested in attending; however, if you could provide me with a more detailed description, it'd be great.
Thank you.
What would a calligrapher, fabric artist, and book author such as yourself put in a personal geographies book. Can't wait to see.
