"Oh Hello Friend" Package Swap 2012.




This month I participated in the Wonderful Package Swap from the lovely Danni over at "Oh Hello Friend" - I was a little hesitant to sign up as I never recieved my package from the "Send Something Good" project a few months ago. (I've tried not to Whinge & Complain! but after no contact from my partner - even after numerous polite emails.. I just don't think it's good manners to sign up & not see something through! Ugh.. Rant over :]) but I just could not resist - I adore Danni's Blog & so just had to sign up! So here is What I sent to my Lovely Partner Lea from "We Like to make Stuff"
P.S - being super silly I forgot to photograph what I include.. Hopefully Lea will have some photos up soon! Lea Has some photos up now! click to see them!

Whenever I'm feeling crappy, sorry for myself or just annoyed with the world - I take a little walk to a beautiful little lookout about 10 minutes from home. Even in the middle of winter I am reminded how freaking lucky I am to live & grow up in such a beautiful piece of the world. Today was no exception. I am Thankful. I am Lucky. I am Home.

The Elevated Envelope


This Summer (Winter for me!) I had the Absolute Pleasure of Participating in "The Elevated Envelope Project" created by the incredible Tara Bilven.. If you're into Mail Art, Letters or just Pretty things in general I highly reccommend popping over to her blog & taking part in the next Project!

The Summer 2012 Theme was "Sweet" & after Umming & Ahhing for a few weeks I decided to take it as literal as possible - Candy! With a couple of bright candy wrappers, some glittery paper & Some Super Sweet Song Lyrics (Candy Girl - The Archies ++ Lollipop - Mika) I created these super bright - Sparkly Envelopes (with a few sweet surprises inside!)
