Featured in the newsletter each month, The Shaker Box will highlight a sketch created by Mickey McGowan that is based on a design from one of our designers. This month's sketch is courtesy of Mickey and geometric patterns and journaling.

We hope these layouts inspire you to look at sketches in new and different ways! Remember, you can turn the sketch sideways or even upside down. Just use your imagination! Here are just some of this month's layouts using the sketch to the right.

New Year Poems:

A year to be glad in,
And not to be sad in,
To gain in, to give in,
A happy new year.
A new year for trying,
And never for sighing,
A new year to live in,
Oh, hold it most dear

A new year's comin'
And it won't be long
Till the birds will be singing
A brand new song
For in the tree tops high
They can see much more
Of a brand new year
And what we have in store
A new year's comin'
Put last year away
And be thankful for small things
That you have day to day
And share your love
With a needed friend
For a new year's comin'
At this years end

The New Year lies before you
Like a spotless tract of snow.
Be careful how you tread on it
For every mark will show.

Out with the old,
In with the new.
May your pleasures be many,
May your troubles be few.

May the New Year bring you all
Troubles that last only seconds
Giggles that last minutes
Chuckles that last hours
Laughs that last days
Smiles that last weeks
Happiness that last months
Friendships that last years
But most of all
LOVE that lasts a lifetime!
