| Hello everyone! OK, someone on Instagram started doing this and then I started doing this. Monkey See, monkey do. But it really is cheap entertainment. |
 |
| And FUN!!!! |
 |
| So here's what you do......get out some Staz-On ink pads and some markers... |
 |
| Go to the Dollar Tree if you live in the USA and get a whole bunch of little packets of DOTS. Or, have your lovely and generous friend and a new mama to Cora, Jessica send you a bunch of them.....(thanks Jessica!) |
 |
| Get out some rubber stamps..... I know you're going to ask.....so these are from Casey's in NYC and yes they do mail order. And they only charge $4 to ship and no, Casey's isn't giving me anything but I wish they would... |
 |
| I even like the out-takes. The only tricky part (at least for me) was getting the paper surrounding the DOTS off the sheets. I found if I took one dot off I could easily peel off the sheets and then put the dot back on...if that makes sense... |
 |
| So, besides making about a million DOTS I am packing my mail art and collage kit up and taking it on the road. I love that. |
 |
| I've already put one page in the travel journal and yes, I most certainly do need a vacation. And I need lobster. Boston here I come. Just please please don't snow. |
 |
| I am gathering up ephemera and sticking it inside my travel moleskin.....collaging will be happening... |
 |
| I wonder if I will see Denise? |
 |
| Moleskin and address book -- check! Maybe I should bring some DOTS. |
 |
| A MYSTERY I put this on Instagram and I've got a whole bunch of cool people trying to figure this out....and so far, no one has.. I found a secret message under a stamp on a very old postcard (not dated). I think the postmark is Vienna. Was it a secret message during the war? Or a message between lovers? |
 |
| This is very old German script and no longer used -- and it is TINY. It was under a stamp after all. The IG crowd hasn't solved it -- how about you???? Can anybody read this? Because I sure would like to know.... And, another mystery, does anyone know what happened to LIMNER? Her blog Oh! Write Me has been taken down and she just disappeared. I am worried. OK, so get going on those dots. And help me out with the mysteries. And have a GOOD MAIL DAY! And leave me a comment, please -- I miss you. SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
