Buttons are on their way to my house, both new books are off to the printer, and I finished designs for a new banner and business cards yesterday, which are all on their way to the printer as well. I actually have several hundred business cards already, but I decided to create ones specifically for conventions and festivals that only have my social handles/public website, not my phone number or email, and include a space where I can write in my table location, too:
