More Sent Mail!

Just as I promised, a few more things I am sending out. Mostly to folks in the IUOMA, but also some friends.

I've really been enjoying making these lately. It's been coming naturally, which I can't honestly say happens all the time. I've been crafting with a good friend of mine who pushes me to explore different materials and compositions. A key example of this is the vintage letraset strips as seen on Jen's postcard.

Down to business!




For Kiera in Montreal, this was one of my faves of the bunch. I've been into trying more minimal elements in my postcards. More white, more deadspace.




A pep talk for Joanna Carabante in California




For my good good friend Jen. I'm pretty sure she's on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia, but that girl is a west coast trotter, and I love her for it.




This one's for Robyn Wells who makes purdy purdy things: http://www.robayre.com/

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!

Special Little Note From Chloe

I visited my girl Chloe in her beautiful big home in Riverport, about an hour and half outside of the city a few weekends ago. It was the perfect cure to a hangover and we lazed and lazed all Sunday. We played with her sweetest Newfoundland puppy named Penguin who was a ball of joy.




This sunsoak-iness will help you feel better after anything you`ve previously put your bod through.

But things can`t always be sunshine and roses though, and I definitely left my debit card in the country. Sure, you say, `No big deal, just go to the bank and get a new one.` That is easier said than done when you have the shame of already having to get a new debit card TWICE in the past week hanging over your head. So I stuck it out and waited for it in the mail, which was a delight when it finally came because it was in a sweet little envelope with a sweet little note.





Trying to get my life in order before I get back on the making-mail-train, so you can expect a lot of these Received Mail posts in the near future. Hope y`all don`t mind!

More Received Mail!

I post this as I am in the middle of doing some MAJOR reorganization in my room. I've got most of my received mail archives in three tupperware bins right now. I've pulled a select few to share today.

I almost toyed with the idea of digitalizing the whole collection, but that might be ludicrous.....




From Kiera Pannell!




From Laura Podob!




From Darlene Griffin!

Do You Like Music?

So do I.

Maybe you like music how I like music?

Dark and heavy and kind of creepy and weird, like a synchronized dance routine in an underground and edgy sewer?


Maybe you'll like my music blog:

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.
