| Happy 2020!!! Ok, a little bit late but it is still early in the year. And, a long time since I've posted. But I do post regularly on Instagram.... Of course I am busy making things.....like these fun gusseted folders made from old legal files I picked up at ScrapSF and covered with pretty paper. |
 |
| They are very handy to pack up with letter writing supplies to take to a SF Correspondence Co-op Meeting or to a cafe on the chance you might want to make some mail.... |
 |
| I put a bunch of velum packets inside to organize things.....and they look good too. I find these folders really useful -- I had a Christmas one with all my Christmas supplies supplies (cards, stickers, stamps etc) so when I had a few minutes I could grab it and write a card. And I have some for putting travel ephemera in for each country I may visit on an upcoming trip. All ready and waiting when I want to make a travel journal. Speaking of travel, I have plane tickets to Beijing.....and, given the circumstances, it sure doesn't look like I will be going.... |
 |
| Made some little pocket folders from the Cavallini Sale postcards I had sitting around... |
 |
| ...and I gave them to the pals I stood in line at Cavallini with as a little souvenir..... |
 |
| I collect pressed souvenir pennies. Any of you want to trade pressed pennies with me??? Just let me know. I'd especially like some from New York City but anywhere would do... |
 |
| Of course there is cappuccino.....and Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate. The BIG Lunar NY Parade is this Saturday here in San Francisco and if you are looking for fire cracker wrappers to collage that is where you want to look (down).... |
 |
| Made my 2020 datebooks. Old school. I like pen and paper.....I had a Japanese theme going on but I'm not sure I will be going to Japan this spring with all the chaos going on....we'll see... |
 |
| That didn't stop me from working on an altered passport from Japan.... work in process.... |
 |
| Here's one of those gusseted file folders at a SF Correspondent Co-Op meeting in action....and Italian pouches with mail art supplies made my my pal Dori. |
 |
| I've been making ephemera packs too.... |
 |
| I'm not sure what I will do with them...trade them? Sell them? |
 |
| I'm having a love affair with fabric scraps......These beauties and that gorgeous pin cushion came from ScrapSF. No, I really can't sew but I am determined to hand stitch a fabric book or two so stay tuned... |
 |
| See? There is a seat at my table just waiting for you. Who is coming over? We could have tea....or coffee.....and I almost always have something around that I baked. And, we could make things.... I was happy to have the holidays over with and a brand new year but it is zipping by so incredibly quickly.....How can it be February already? And, what are you all doing and making? Let me know...and also let me know if you want to trade pressed pennies....or ephemera? HAPPY 2020!!!!! SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
