I'm very excited.
So I had to share.
I'm getting new business cards*
These say new things.
E G G B E A T E R will be across the top in orange.
And four occupations are listed:
Pastry Chef ~ Consultant ~Instructor ~ Writer
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this here URL is there, also in orange.
The rest is in blue.
On this note--
does anyone out there reading own a scanner? Do you have one you like a lot? Love?
I'm on the scent for one. Want to show you neat things.
{Remember Show & Tell?}
*I used someone local: Susan Gildea. She did an amazing job helping me put together cards a few years ago for a massive Memorial I organized. But look what Amy is talking about too! Up until now I've had my cards printed by Jennifer Garden of Bluestocking Press in St. Helena, Napa Valley. But I needed something a little less expensive, something I could give away more freely...
Hey Shuna,
Congrats on the cards...whenever I buy something tech related (big purchases) I check C|Net's Computers.com. It's like a free version of Consumer Reports for tech (their editors are usually right on), *and* people who have used the product also weigh in.
Here's their page for scanner's:

Just got a new one a couple months ago. Cheap,quick, and it can scan on its side.
Canon CanoScan LiDE 70. My sister has one from the same series and it is still going strong after 2 years.

Echoing Rachel B above, I'm a fan of the Canon LiDE family. Sturdy, hardy, quality, and not expensive at all.

Hi Shuna - I have an Epson all in one. I prefer having more space on my desk so I got the combo unit. I'm happy with it's scanning ability and I really like the way photos print. It's not super fancy but does what I need it to do.

I have a HP PSC 2175 all in one. Printer, scanner, copier. What I like is when I finish cutting a gemstone I can put it in the scanner and send it off to Photoshop as well as the cutting diagram so it all goes to one folder. Great photo prints with a cartridge and the right paper. A heck of a lot easier than a camera, lights and all that.... I haven't tried lemon pie in it yet.

so many congratulations! (it's the little things...)
like elayne, i also have an all-in-one... mine is an HP C3180, and it's sooo nice and compact. it folds up safe and neat when i'm not using it, and - since we're in a very small studio here - is nice temporary counterspace for a cookbook.
there is a page about it here, although that is for uk. but, it's very reasonably priced (in dollar...) and look, you can have a picture of that person!
but if you have a printer that you love already, then of course this might not be the best option.

That's funny, I just ordered my first set of MOO cards myself this week. Someday when I feel more settled again, I will make a more formal set. And so thanks for the links!
P.S. I just got my copy of Edible San Francisco yesterday. Can't wait to read it.
