Don’t you LOVE this envelope? I love when kids draw on their pen pal letters!
Great Job!

I just uploaded a 2007 video of me showing off a very cool Mail Art piece I got from Anna Brooker in England.
Yes, its a few years old, the video isn’t great and that’s why I never shared it online… but I decided, today, it’s better to share it with other pals, so they can also do COOL mail art — instead of waiting until I like a video of me.. grin! (that won’t likely happen).

Marney from Artella, a gal I’ve followed for several years now… watching, watching, watching all her artsy fun! This week she is hosting a free tele-class! Just thought I’d post it here in case someone wants to join me there!
The Complete Idealist’s Guide to Growing a Creative Business: 37 Ways to Really Make an Artsy Living
Check out her website… creativity galore! I bet this will be a great class!
2.28 – this free teleclass was sooo inspirational.. just awesome! I didn’t sleep half the night as my brain was on fire thinking, thinking, thinking… all net fun!

OK, can you even BELIEVE these photos? This is a tame deer that came to visit… where he/she is from, we don’t know! I looked outside to bring Chi Chi back indoors, and there’s this DEER staring at Chi, and Chi is staring right back! We don’t live in the country, though their is a few acres of land behind us… who knew a deer was lurking out there!?
p.s. Sorry for the quality of the photos… I was waaaaay up on the deck, and I just took zoomed photos. *I* surely wasn’t getting THAT close! Grin!

Check out the “changing shape of tea”…. I got this free sample teabag of a really nice Green Tea with Mandarin Orange today! It’s a really nice lightly fruity taste and smell.. loving it!
I wouldn’t take the time and effort to tell you about just any old teabag… but LOOKEE this one! Its a triangular shaped bag.. isn’t that too cute?!

I decoupaged the top of my coffee table, years ago, with snail mail postal stamps from around the world!
I’ve published a pen pal newspaper, for fifteen years, called Inky Trail News. Over the years, I’ve kept the stamps — methodically, ripping them off envelopes weekly and I’ve got oodles of them for projects (if and when I find the time).
One year, at Thanksgiving, I decoupaged stamps all over the top of my wood coffee table. The table was about twenty years old, and although it still looked good, I wanted more color in the room.
At first glance, the table top, from afar, simply looks a lighter color (compared to the dark wood). When you look at it closer, you’ll see the variety of colors and the different shapes of the stamps. I love it!
The photo doesn’t do it justice… this is only one small section of the tabletop, but I thought the pals out there might enjoy seeing what you can do with a little decoupage glue and some used postal stamps.
I put the stamps on rather randomly — but you could easily use only stamps with red on them, or all the same stamps for the border of your object, or make patterns like mosaics. I didn’t do any of that – just randomly scattered them about the tabletop.
Happy Writing! Wendy
