Document Life Wk 3 Mail Envy

in my art journal I added a 2-page spread of flip-out or may be what they call tip-ins mail art envies.

closeup - left side with base of washi tapes - top envy verizon recycled envelope about 'words', musical washi tape, coupon, fabric folded poppy,
right side gorgeous mail art birthday card, beautiful stamps, fabric flowers, stamp

painted lutradur with fabric and written 'blah, blah, blah' bc sometimes that's all you feel like people are hearing as you speak or that's all you hear as someone is speaking.

all the gifting goodness on the inside of the envies - lutradur dryersheet flower, aceo, fabric postcard and felted postcard.

Week 3 - mail art envy for Documenting Life 2014 was really fun to do - so much on each one of the envelopes. i will keep coming back to these two pages to enjoy the fun in creating them.

My Blog Beginnings

27th Anniversary Cruise Countdown

We are at day 2, I'm exhausted and we haven't left yet. Hubby didn't need the scan after all. He passed a large kidney stone around lunch time while he was at work yesterday. I am too tired to care whether we go or not. It's been a rough ride on this emotional roller coaster. As you can see the hour is 2:17am and I am fully awake. I have not packed one thing and right now all I would want to do on this cruise would be sleep and sleep. I don't even care about eating and I love that little chocolate heart dessert at dinner. But hey its a new day! Later I will shower, grocery shop for my sons, pickup last minute items and sling a bunch of clothes in my suitcase and off we go tomorrow morning early.

P.S. - Its 3:00am My hubby is awake now and we are laughing together about all this past weeks events. And about all the meds we need to take among other odd things we want to pack. This is what marriages are made of - laughter even during the tough times.

Postcard Exchange #35 and Blogger Beginnings

Here are two of my postcards I sent to participants in Postcard Exchange group #35. We had until December to finish mailing out to our list of 25 people. It is here in this group that I met Fannie and first experienced a blog. She encouraged me in so many ways - in my creativity and in setting up a blog. Each postcard included a vintage hankie from a quilter that passed away in my quilt guild. Her daughter was delighted to see they had been used in such a wonderful way to bless other artists/quilters.
