Archiving Past Mail

Today I decided to archive my past mail. Everything prior to starting this blog. And then decided to add the larger pieces I've gotten as well. ( Not because I dont want to look at them but because they take up considerable space.)

I placed the postcards and letters wrapped in paper and tied with string into my trunk. And then placed them into the attic. At some point I will add all the letters from this year. Separated by sender of course, into this unseeming time capsule.

Not All Mail...


Ellen Stamp

So I decided to make up a sheet of Ellen stamps for her contest. She wants to be the first living person on United States postage. I spent some time today working on this sheet..and I am pretty happy with the results.


Not bad for my first attempt at artist stamps huh? Some of you may see these on letters bound for you!

Now, I challenge you to make your own Ellen stamp and enter it in the contest. You can enter here. Oh and don't forget to share it with us too! I would love to see what you guys come up with!

Large Mail Art

Guess who got some special mail art today...ME! I promise to share pictures but until then...I am pouring over it and trying to figure out how I will ever be able to top this!

Take some time to write a letter to someone special today. I know I am going to. =)
