HANDMADE STATIONERY AND BESPOKE PRINT-ON-DEMAND SHOP
Kimenink has dozens of ‘Ink Re-Cap posts, some numbered, some dated. The goal of the round-ups are to share our latest projects, how life and Kim+Ink is coming on, and/or our plans for the future. Plus, of course, our freebies, which are typically digital art that we design ourselves.
If you don’t read any of the posts during the week, our Saturday Re-Caps will get you all caught up. We usually send out email reminders to everyone on our list when we publish a re-cap, just so you don’t miss out on a little kimenink every week.
Because, and we can’t stress this enough, we depend on our readers to keep us going. When we ask for prayers, you come through. We’ve never hit a situation that God hasn’t helped us through, and we know it’s not because we’re the warriors. From that angle, our Re-Caps are a way to connect and get our message out there. Even if that message is a cry for help, we appreciate your interest so, so much. It’s not actually the stress of work that does us in. It’s more the challenges of Kim’s autism and anxiety. With some OCD and mood disorder to complicate things. And as needy beggars, we know we can reach out to you and you’ll reach back. Thank you so much.
‘Ink Re-Cap 156.Random Sketches and Scribblesabout Thanksgiving, and when you’re not feeling it. Are you excited about Thanksgiving?

‘Ink Re-Cap 155. Random Sketches and Scribbles about Temple Grandin, Church Ladies sewing and Sock Snowmen. I got a couple of messages this week that I totally love. Asking me to design Christmas cards OOAK. The best kind ever. If you didn’t know we do One Of A Kind, you do now. No extra…
‘Ink Re-Cap 154.Random Sketches and Scribblesabout Conspiracy Theories, Northern Lights,and Sleepover Saturday giggles with the g’littles(at the wrong time, of course.) It’s hard to believe we’ve been home a week already. Our time on the Little Farm always goes too fast. And then we’re left with memories and loneliness. We were to keep the three…
‘Ink Re-Cap 153. Random Sketches and Scribbles about adventures on a 1919 homestead, Lucy the friendly hen. and a driver with attitude. This was the week we looked forward to… TRAVEL! We boarded a jet plane and ended up at the Little Farm by the River. Where our son and his wife and two boy…
‘Ink Re-Cap 152. Random Sketches and Scribbles about feeling “Lost in the City,” rediscovering morning, and a Christmas card sale. . A week ago I re-discovered morning, outdoors.

‘Ink Re-Cap 151. Random Sketches and Scribbles about Fall on the little-farm-by-the-river, Anabaptist re-enactments, and Christmas in the Air. . We had one crazy windy day this week, but apparently it was nothing compared to the wind our little-farm-by-the-river family had yesterday. They said it blew all the pretty colored leaves off the trees, so…
‘Ink Re-Cap 150. Random Sketches and Scribbles about 10th birthdays, travel prices and pumpkin bread. As Southwest Airlines says it so well, I “just wanna get away.” We talk about taking a trip, going to see our little-farm-by-the-river family, or even just a quick in-state trek. Somehow it doesn’t happen. The flight to Grand…
‘Ink Re-Cap 149.Random Sketches and Scribblesabout everyday miracles,second shots and defiant joy. No, I am NOT going to say, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” Because it’s not true. Yes, it’s October on the calendar, but it’s not Anne-with-an-E October. We have no colored leaves, have crispy mornings that…
‘Ink Re-Cap 148. Random Sketches and Scribbles about harvest moons, John Deere tractors and 8 dozen donuts for a moving-in workday. I love September. September on the farm where I grew up is the epitome of fall in my memory bank, and I don’t believe that will ever change. The crispy edge to the…
‘Ink Re-Cap 147.Random Notes and Scribblesabout silver sandals, splat painting,and the best ever macaroni and cheese. I love these Saturday mornings, when I sit down and yack at you all.

‘Ink Re-Cap 146.Stationer Scribbles about being left out,birthday cake, blooming sage and more. This story is funnier because it happened to our pastor. That’s okay. He thought it was funny, too. His wife showed up at this 70th birthday party for our friend. The hostess’ husband was there, and the wife says, “So, you’re joining…
‘Ink Re-Cap 145. A Stationer’s Scribbles about printer troubles, fall classroom crafts, Bible lessons, and more. What do you do when you have a convo like this: “Ok, you’re good to go.
