I LOVE MAIL~

Aside from crafting one of my guilty pleasures is receiving and sending mail. I call it "cute mail," as I usually decorate my letters & packages before sending them out. I have always loved getting mail and started penpalling at the age of 11 yrs. old. Now 20+ years later I am still enjoying the art of letter writing. I'm currently on a waiting list for a PO Box so I can easily exchange letters & packages (aside from my home addy).

I feel that the art of letter writing is slowly being extinct due to the internet. However, I seriously hope that people will continue to appreciate a simple card or letter rather than a digital card sent by email. I must have a TON of packages/letters that I've kept over the years that unfortunately I had to purge those from my childhood. *SIGH* I seriously wish I never got rid of them now. They all held sentimental value to me. Although I may not be able to hold a letter from a past friend I still have very fond thoughts of each and every one of them.

Anyway here is my latest outgoing mail & packages I'm currently working on:


My handmade postcards using Kawaii sticker flakes & flash cards
(MLP & The CareBears). :)


I LOVE decorating my envies. This is done in "Kawaii" style. =)







I still have a few more that I need to finish so I hope to get these out in the mail tomorrow. I'm trying my best to get these done. I've had them on hand for a week or so now. LOL!

Make someone smile today by sending a simple card or handwritten letter their way.

PRETTY FLOWERS~

Hello Everyone!!!

I know it's been awhile since I posted to my craft blog. I've been super busy with work & just stuff in general. However, I totally miss crafting and thought I make a little something to share. Here are some pics of my handmade flowers I created over the weekend. They are quite easy and a lot of fun to make. I like to add flowers to my various paper projects. I hope you enjoy them too.
