You should sign up for Zazzle.com’s promotional emails.

Holy shitsky, people … it’s been another whole week since my last Howdygram post! Once again, however, I do have an excuse. I WAS SICK. This time it included: 1) severe arthritis pain in my knees and gout pain in my toe; 2) overall crappiness and weakness; 3) an exploding bladder with no advance warning whatsoever; and 4) probably another undiagnosed urinary tract infection. I haven’t been able to spend any time at my desk in the study since Tuesday, and it’s impossible for me to type anything on my iPhone while I’m lying down on the chaise in the family room unless it involves a two-sentence response to an email. So there you have it. Let’s move on, shall we? And I’ll begin with one of my favorite topics: FONTS.

I’ve got a fine herd of FREE FONTS for you today! They include a beautiful variety of scripts (“Pretty Pen,” “Spirited,” Schuyler Script” and “Madgue”), a bunch of really unusual display fonts (“Playbill,” “Paper Town,” “Cornpile” and “Lady Fair”), a really swell minimalist sans serif (“Espresso”), a few fabulous hand-drawn fonts (“Hits,” “Spirited” and “Margalo”) and a couple of very useful text fonts with multiple styles (“Roger Serif” and “Publica Slab”). As always, download links will appear below the graphic in case you want any or all of these for your personal collection.



Thought you should know there’s still time to order Christmas and Hanukkah cards from The Howdygram Store. We’ve got lots of new designs for 2017, and all of them can be personalized with your name or signature. Hint: If you sign up for Zazzle.com’s promotional emails — just scroll to the bottom of their home page — you’ll always know when our greeting cards are on sale. Typically 50% to 70% off. For the record, I always shop Zazzle.com’s sales, too. This year I bought the following custom products at half-price: a fleece blanket; a wall clock; a recipe binder; 37 birthday cards for my 2018 mailing list; 17 Hanukkah cards; a pad of Post-It© notes; and a cute zipper case for my iPhone. All of them were designed by yours truly. Here’s one of The Howdygram Store’s newest Christmas card designs. I just uploaded it this morning!



And now I think I’ll address my Hanukkah cards followed by a nice hot shower. It’s a full life, isn’t it?
