Ain't it the truth????
Rule certainly applies around my house -- nothing is safe! And I love to re-purpose.

So, I've been busy. And you?

Still Working?

I'm still working on the Altered Rolodex Card a Day project.....whew....not easy to think up something every day but so far so good...
wanna see a few?

March 2017 -- finished!

I try to use whatever is sitting around on my work table.....that's my excuse for how messy it is....but it works for me.

February 2017
Here are a few from February....

February 2017

March 2017

I saved my favorite (so far) for the end -- just look at those tiny little envelopes!
So cute.
My pal (you know it) Monica let me use her die cut machine to make them and I knew they would be perfect to stick on a rolodex card.
Don't you agree?
So, now on to April........

A Rolodex Card a Day Project
I think I will need at least two Rolodex files to hold them since they are quite bulky after I get finished with them.
Anybody out there making rolo cards too?

Still sending out a lot of mail too.....

Why Send It Plain If You Can Send It Fancy?

I really can't seem to leave well enough alone....I've got to play......
I am loving these colors lately..

I had to mail someone some rolo cards for a swap so I had to make a little folder to send them in...just sticking the rolo cards in an envelope wouldn't be much fun, would it?

A bit of outgoing mail

Stationery from Diaso needs some extra treatment to make it more interesting.

Making some collage cards

Someone brought a bunch of old family photos to our mail art group's swap table last week. I've been having fun putting them in collages.
I wish I had a huge box of of old snapshots to play with.

Rainy Day Play
We've had a lot of rain here in SF lately and I love mono printing on a rainy day.....

I'll print on anything I can get my hands on...tags and gessoed over postcards and...

rolodex cards...I printed a bunch of Rolo cards to have ready to collage on...

Altered Rolodex Card a Day Project
I'm still at it...

Just look at the size of that post box! I love it -- and the two kids on top are icing on the cake.

Hope you are all out there tearing and glueing and pasting and making and having a good mail day.
