TGIF!!!

Happy Friday Friends!!!

I'm sooooo glad Friday is already here. It's been a rough week for me so I'm looking forward to the weekend.

On Sunday I will be visiting the 48th Annual Niles Antique Fair & Flea Market. I'm excited to go as my Sister invited me to attend the event with her. I heard it's going to be SUPER pack with people. It opens at 6am. WHOA!!! It'll be interesting to see what treasures I can find. I'm specifically looking for ephemera. I especially LOVE vintage greeting cards, postcards, pamphlets, tickets, and old letters.

I have a stack of vintage postcards & greeting cards I picked up when I attended the Vintage Paper Faire a few months ago but forgot to post pics. I'll do another post when I get home. Stay tune for update.

On another note, I was looking through my flickr album and found some pics of my Sanrio "Hello Kitty & Friends" pen collection. I have been collecting pens for 12+ years. There are soooo many neat pens that I can't bear to use them. At least the ones I consider to be rare. LOL! Here's a pic of some of my pens~







It's been awhile since I've purchase any new Hello Kitty pens but I think it's time to be on the hunt for a few. LOL!!!

MAIL ART~ GOODIES SENT

Just wanted to share the mail art goodies I sent off to Jacqueline. I really enjoy doing these mail art swaps and look forward to doing more in the future. Please let me know if interested. I recently signed up for a mail art swap via Swap-bot. I'm not really new to mail art per se so I don't think I'm a beginner but I still thought it would be fun to join in the swap.

Here is my envelope I decorated for Jacqueline:



MAIL ART GOODIES ENCLOSED :)





I ♥ wrapping up everything as I believe it makes the gift more exciting when it's wrapped up cute. :D

I have a few other personal swap/gift projects I have to work on so I hope to get more posted here on my craft blog soon. I haven't done any crafting lately. Please stay tune. Thank you!!!!

HELLO KITTY IN SHABBY CHIC~ :)

Hello Friends!!!

How are all of you doing? I hope all is well. The other day I was thinking about something to make with the burlap fabric I bought while thrifting a while back. I created this burlap bag for one of my Youtube friends (Shhh... it's a secret). She likes Hello Kitty so I thought it would be fun to add an image of her. I used collage pauge to apply the image which works perfectly. I added lace trims, pink grosgrain ribbon bows, & some mini paper roses. Here's a pic of what I created.
