Happy Mail! JUST BECAUSE

This beautiful card was in my mail on Wednesday.

Artist Ingrid Vient

I love opening HAPPY MAIL.

When is the last time you received an actual card in the mail?

In this time of texting, tweeting, email and Facebook we have lost the excitement of going to the mailbox opening what I call "just because mail".

Just because:

I love you
I was thinking of you
You are my friend
You are special

"Just Because" mail is sent without any expectations.

I know we all have a stash of cards we have made just waiting to be used. When was the last time your Mom's, aunts & uncles, nieces & nephews got mail from you. If you don't have family, what about your friends.

I am making a list and have vowed to mail at least one "just because" card, note or postcard a week. Let them know I am thinking of them.

Make someone's day

send them some HAPPY MAIL!

JUST BECAUSE

Thank you Ingird for the inspiration to get me jump started on sending HAPPY MAIL "JUST BECAUSE"!

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
