Welcome to Verity Ink!

Verity Ink was born out of an eleven year old passion for cardmaking, with stamps and embellishments. And in May of 2010, I turned my sights from stamping to owning a letterpress. Our first press is a 1907 Chandler and Price 12x18 platen press we named Freedom. The second press we have acquired is a Kluge 10x15. With one eye on the bride, and another eye on the small business in need of business cards and other advertising, I am eager to create for the southwestern Ontario client that up until now has not had an opportunity to buy letterpress products locally.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My mom asked me a couple of weeks ago if I might make her a few cards for the doctors and nursing staff that has been so good to her throughout the last few months.  And she says because she would buy cards anyways, she would naturally pay me.  Haha.  Silly mom.  I would be delighted to help you thank them.

I blogged about my initial reaction to my mom’s diagnosis here: http://daughter0fzion.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/no-one-ever-told-me-that-grief-felt-so-like-fear-c-s-lewis/.  It has been about seven months since the first diagnosis.  Seven months of major surgery, and chemo treatments…  And tomorrow she goes in for her last round of chemo. Over and over my mom has told me she would not have traded this experience for anything.

We talked this afternoon about how she would continue with followup appointments, to make sure the cancer stays in remission.  I suggested it’s hard to keep it in the foreground – and she disagreed.  She does not want to ever be so far from this experience that she forgets how comforting the Lord has been. She does not want to forget how much even a simple card, or flowers, or sitting with someone through chemo days can mean.  She does not want to take any of life for granted.

Mom, I am so very very grateful with you for the staff God has blessed you with, for the care you have received, for the support you have had throughout this journey.  We are all be more appreciative of the breaths we take, and the memories we make because of the hard road you have been on.  Soli Deo Gloria.

    I have observed that in the world the present day, video games will be the latest rage with children of all ages. Often times it may be not possible to drag the kids away from the video games. If you want the very best of both worlds, there are many educational video games for kids. Good post.
