NEW FASCINATION

I am currently fascinated with Mail Art.  I LOVE IT.  I am going to put a group together for mail art and I think it will be amazing.

Once we have received all our mail art.....

What else????

Today's award goes to USPS!

Today was another great mail day!



Simple Stories has this wonderful alterable book. (the one with the brown seam). It is 6x8 and comes with tab pages, journal pages and even pockets for photos. It also has a label holder on the side to identify the contents of your book! It is made from very strong chipboard and is really fantastic!

The other two are just the binders. They are made by FarmHouse. One is 7x9 and one is 8x8. Perfect sizes!! The best part?? All 3 of them are ring binders!



I got a book from Amazon: Good Mail Day. It is a fantastic book about mail art (my new "thing"). The book is small but LOADED with great pictures and information. (besides, I LOVE the title!!)



I want to make a couple of small travel journals for myself and a friend. I always try to have at least one waiting for the next trip!

So I bought a couple of kits with a travel theme and two more sets of the Claudine Hellmuth paints.

Yep, a good mail day for sure!! Now I just need to find the time to do the things I want to do!

Tim Holtz In the Bag Die

I kept looking at this die and wondering why I would want it!  Well, PSYCHOMOMS, posted this video on YouTube which convinced me I NEED it!!!  LOL!!!  Especially now with Christmas coming up!

Evolution journal

I finished the pages for Inge's evolution journal today. I am going through some funky faze right now where I like more simple pages for art journals and for scrapbooking.

The backgrounds were made with wonderful sprays from Lindey's Stamp Gang. The girl stamp is by the marvelous Jane Davenport and the heart and birds are by Donna Downing.
