BLOGical Thoughts

I have updated the Dutch oven booklet I will be using for the Dutch oven workshop at the 2nd International Teardrop Gathering. I plan to print about 120 of the booklets, so I figured I would do a few at a time to spread out the effort. I am printing 5 a day, and probably more on the weekend, so it should take less than 24 days to get them all printed. The booklet still looks the same, even though it has 4 more pages.
