I'm not much for posting personal things on the blog, but as President Obama said in his speech the other night "It's been a rough week". Watching the news about the events in Boston has been very painful. My thoughts are with everyone in the Boston area. And I lost someone very special to me last week and a person whom I loved very much. Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. I'm grateful I had that chance and would regret it if I didn't. You never really know what is going to happen in this world so don't go to bed mad -- or something to that effect.
So, you all take care of yourselves. make lots of art, send mail, hug people you love. And thanks to all my friends who have sent me heartfelt wishes to feel better.

ReplyDeleteCorrine--thank God things are better in Boston. You take care. Loved seeing you on Karen's blog.
DeleteLove the idea about the little box. Do you make them yourself? Such a good idea too having a ribbon to tie it all together so when you come upon it again it's like a gift to yourself. You are inspiring, as usual. Thanks for sharing all this color!
ReplyDeleteCJ--Sometimes I custom make a box and sometimes I cover a box I already have. Same with the booklets....Indeed, the ribbons help make these projects feel like gifts. And they look pretty too.
Deleteam very sorry for your loss... I hope that you will be able to find peace in the memories you made with your loved one.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed a peek at your treasures! Thanks!
Thanks, elle -- appreciate your thoughts. Glad you enjoyed the post.
DeleteOh Pamela, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. There has been far too much sadness and pain this month. Hold your loved ones tight, indeed. Your Boston box is so lovely - I cannot resist leaves, acorns and pods and never tire of picking them up, no matter how many years I've lived here. (I'll add pinecones and beach stones to that list too...)
ReplyDeleteKaren--I can't resist picking up all those same things...and you have a lot of pods and things we don't have here...
DeleteThanks for your kind words.
Oh Pamela, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. All my love and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Alisa. Lots of kindness from my mail art and blogging pals have really helped.
DeleteThat's a lot of yumminess in one post. Love your journals!
ReplyDeleteWell...thanks so much, iHanna.......
DeleteWhere did my post disappear to? :( I took a picture of my book as I said. Hmm. Will mail it. Turn it into a postcard. :) Let me know if you've made one before. You seem to be eons ahead of us. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I especially like the typewriter keys. Typing gave me stomach aches. LOL. You have oodles of goodies!
?? I'm not sure what you mean Limner?? Let you know if I've made what? (Ok, the pain pills...i know....)
DeleteWhat wonderful mementos you have in your books and memory boxes! I especially love the nature ephemera in these photos. I am sorry for your loss, Pamela, and am happy that you are finding peace and support from your friends.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Andria. Appreciate your kind thoughts. Thanks for commenting. I bet you can pick up some nice nature ephemera in the fall where you are too.
