Long Gone

These mail bits went into the post about 3 months ago. I was housesitting a beautiful one bedroom apartment in the best neighbourhood in Halifax. A cat lived there who was easy to please and it was a nice three weeks in that home. I was able to get a lot of mailing done. It was just one of those places with good vibes seeping out the floorboards.

Here's what the mail bits looked like:

Check out these LAYERS and the STAMPS!! Thanks Bifidus!

BIG END OF THE YEAR MAILING!

At the end of 2012, I sent out many packages to many of my favourite corresponders.

I really felt like a lacked in the mail art department for most of 2012 and this was my way of making it up to people who sent to me, regardless of weather I responded promptly or at all. For that, I thank you. One and all.

I've been a little late on the documentation, but here it is!

Recently Received Mail from KIRA

Friend of all friends, Kira is my main gurl. This can be tricky when she lives an hour away, but we keep things fresh and exciting by sending THE BEST MAIL to each other.

For example:






And inside, a heartfelt letter with lots of secrets and THIS:





A handmade sticker alphabet, hand drawn by the typographical prowess. Now I have to be honest with you, I will probably NEVER use this alphabet and save it in the archives for forever because it's just THAT GOOD. Thank you Kira!!

RECENTLY RECEIVED: MAILART BEAUTS

Mail has been flowing a-plenty these days and I couldn't be happier.
Here's a few that I've documented:


A lovely little letter wrapped up in a sweet envelope from Jen Staggs. Tucked inside were some pretty sweet old school style faux tattoos. Jen probably doesn't know this, but applying fake tattoos are my friend's and I's perfect pre-party thing to do. I wonder if Jen knows I have a big ol' unicorn tattoo on my *ahem* "chest"? That horny tattoo is really speaking to me...






This layered and sturdy little postcard comes from Jon Foster:





And last but certainly not least, one from Diane Keys. A recent fave that sits close to home, as I sent her a package of paper goods a few months back which she has utilized in a few new pieces! Check out the post on her blog here!



Thank you everyone!

Something For You?

Nothing pleases me more than a Sunday crafternoon.

Currently detoxing after a weekend of non-stop dancing, secret rooftop-spot parties, sweaty sweaty hugs, and three 6 AM bedtimes in a row. I feel young and happy. Also-tired.

Amidst the chaos, some work got accomplished. My good friend Steph encouraged these things out of me this weekend!




To De Villo Sloan




To Erika




To Dewi




This is a postcard I made for STAUBS forever ago and forgot to send. Better late than never!




For Madge


I have a bunch more coming, which will be up as soon as I'm able to scan them!
Livin' life, Lovin' life!

More, More and More Received Mail!

From Madge in Spokane. I love her evolving style and I'm into just about everything she makes. You can see some more things on her beauty of a blog: http://canimailthis.wordpress.com/





From Miss Lavender. I suspect this woman is a school teacher because her handwriting is impeccable.




The always impressive Dewi.

Recently Received Mail

From my gurl J. Walker who moved to the big city, away from me. I miss her everyday. She was my right hand man for a few good solid months. She'll never know how much she helped me through. True to form, this arrived yesterday on the worst day.
Check out her blog, she's got some cool stuff over there: http://raptortexasranger.tumblr.com/




From Karen! I don't know if you can tell from this scan, but that red paint is so luscious it still looks wet. It isn't though, I know because I touched it and also because, well, that's impossible.





And oldie but a beauty from Dewi! Interestingly enough, this character looks a heck of a lot like my BFF...could it be?





From Jarrah on sendsomething.net, one of my favourite internet haunts. Wishing I had those stickers. Notice the subtle suggestion in the left hand corner. Thanks Jarrah, I'm trying!

Going Places
