Dear Customers, Colleagues and Friends, during this era of Coronavirus, my small business, Walleye Cards, LLC has taken a slow down. We have taken a pause from re-printing and new printings; and a pause leading field trips and field workshops. During this pause creative ideas are spawning as we listen to people around the world.
Happily, I am still in business, in large part thanks to you, my faithful card writers and journal users. We have continually shipped out mail orders and supply stores around the country. My shipping is slower than normal too, due to a myriad of reasons. I'm sorry for this inconvenience at this time.
I do like the thought that we are all in this together, I'm hoping you are well and that you can enjoy the out of doors each day. Thank you for your wonderful support to artists and scientists like me during this time.
Sincerely, Heather A. Wallis Murphy 8/19/2020
