Wet mail

So remember when I said that my phone was ruined because I was busy saving my outgoing mail from a watery death?

Well this is what they looked like before they took a swim. I'm hoping the insides were still readable afterwards.

Selvage from stickers is something I sometimes use even before all the stickers are gone!

The Indian doctor I work with everyday saw this one when I was drying them off. She said that they are real country girls. Not sure how she can tell. Because they are barefoot?  Such beautiful clothing.

Nemo! I watch this a lot now because it's one of the best movies we have at work to play in the waiting room. "Just keep swimming!"

Again, sticker selvage. I really love this envelope.

I refound several pages of a fashion magazine that I had saved because of the gorgeous dresses and flowery prints. Finally used a couple.

Something I drew a while ago. I imagine it with a Morgan Freeman-like voice. It lives on the bottom of the ocean.

This is one of my favorite stamps from the modern art set that recently came out.

Such a fun postcard. I've been sending a few more postcards lately than normal.

May the fourth be with you postcard. :-)

And finally an envie made out of half a pretty paper bag. Still have another half to do something with!

Boston Era Mail

awesome package from Karen of http://iamrushmore.blogspot.com/

 It was a giveaway that I won. I believe you had to tell a joke to enter. Several awesome little zines.

Some outgoing

I bought a set of letter stencils while I was in Boston. The smallest ones I can't even use because I don't have a pencil or pen small enough to make the letters.  We had one of these when I was a kid as well as some stencils of barn animals and things like that. I loved the horse one, of course.

I've been hanging on to a bunch of security envelopes that I've gotten here in IL, but I still haven't done anything with them.  Most of them were ripped open, so I'll have to use them for something else than turning inside out.

This plaid green sticker selvage came from some Curious George stickers.  I can't bear to throw away a sticker sheet with a background like this when all the stickers are gone. I think it turned out quite nicely.
