OUTGOING #001



I've been trying to meet a goal I set for myself late this month. I want to mail out at least four letters each week. Today I did just that.



I stuffed this envelope full of decos for Tanya. I love how the envelope turned out in the end. I used some glittery foam stickers too. I am loving my Dymo label and I need to get more black tomorrow.



This one is for Lucy which I haven't heard from her in a while. She is getting back into the penpal world and asked for some decos. I stuffed her envelope full of them.



I also wrote to Stevie in NC and I sent her a birthday drawing I did which you can see on the envelope. I also sent her some stickers.



Theresa is my ePal and she sent me a letter sometime last week. I was finally able to reply to her and mail her letter out. I used an envelope that Yasara made for me.

DECO #003


Deco by Tanya

Another magazine scan here with lots of pretty blue glitter that is all over my glitter bin now. It opened up while I was digging around, grrr! I love the bird stickers used here, too cute. (^____^) My page turned out so pretty, love it. Thanks, Tanya for sending these decos to me. I had fun, hehe.

I think the color combination here is my favorite for the day, hehe. I got use this matte confetti but then my cat knocked it all over my work area. (>~<) But got to love, Chaser. I tried to use the colors of her dress using the origami calendar papers.

Used an old scan from Kera magazine for this along with random bits of papers that I can never throw away. Lately I have been using all up to get rid of the clutter around here. I also used some glitter and lovely confetti. Working of these was fun and I hope No1. Sassy_Grl likes. (^3^) Not sure who I am sending this to but I have been putting swaps together all morning.

Postcard #001


Lately I have been using permanent markers to make postcards. I use Sharpies and Bic Mark It markers on old matte Canon photo paper. On this one here I used various Gellyroll pens from Sakura which I really love. I made this one for my cousin back home in Texas. She got it today, so I am posting about it since my mail has been slow and I haven't been writing lately. I used my Xyron 5" create-a-sticker and stuck onto some plain old stock paper. The markers bleed through the photo paper... I then use my favorite stamp ever, an postcard stamp that I got on clearance.


I plan to make more postcard real soon but I wanting to get another pack of Bic Mark It since I am missing a few colors. I may just have to get the 36 pack since if I cannot find then at Staples.

Greetings~!

Welcome to my new mail blog!

I have been thinking about this blog for days now~ I happy that I now have the time to post for the very first time. I am still working on a few things but I made the banner today in Photoshop. I haven't really played with Photoshop as much as I did before I moved to Ohio. So it is taking me longer to do things with the program that used to be so easy to do. I feel like I am learning all over again. This is pretty much my a test post, hehe. I am hoping to be a bit more active here than before.

Enjoy.
