Link Love: Lefty 365 Days a Year

I seem to forget about it every year, but Monday was International Left Hander’s Day. Since 75% of the staff here at The Well-Appointed Desk is left-handed, pretty much everyday is left-handed day here so I think its easy for us to forget about it. Luckily, my pals over at Letter Writers Alliance remembered so there’s a link in Other Interesting Things.

And I’m so happy to be able to share a bit of the exhibition from this year’s Barbara Marshall award winner’s Andy Newcom and Marn Jenson for Wishes for the World, also in Other Interest Things. It is a scholarship fund at Hallmark awarded for a personal creative project and Marn and Andy created one of the most amazing, touching, uplifting bodies of work I have seen in my years at Hallmark. Check out the video interviews and the images, its amazing!
