| Ugh, been bad~ |
[November 06, 2011 @ 4:57pm] |
Feeling like a bad penpal here... Some of these letter/swaps should of gone out a long time ago. I recently found some while cleaning my craft room. I will get them out as soon as I can since I don't think I have enough stamps for them all. Money is still an issue for me and the bills just keep on coming. But I will catch up soon.

| Happy Birthday To Me ^_______^ |
[November 06, 2011 @ 4:51pm] |
I picked these up at Target today and will be using it all to catch up on my mail. It's a lil' birthday present to myself, hehe.

| A deco with Chaser |
[September 28, 2011 @ 10:37pm] |
THEME: My Silly Kitty
MADE FOR & BY: Me
This picture of Chaser always makes me laugh. That cute lil' furball. I tried to keep it simple using a few deco supplies I bought after work. I used some ribbon, glitter (maybe too much... Is that possible?), alphabet marker stampers, stickers, and confetti.

| Deco #13 |
[September 13, 2011 @ 8:58am] |
Taken yesterday during my lil' deco session before work.
THEME: Women of the 80's
MADE FOR: Joy LeMasters
MADE BY: Crystal Lamb
My entry: I just has to use this when I stumbled upon this at photobucket. I didn't use any tape on this one... Just ribbon, stickers, and cupcake scrapbooking paper. It is a little blurry due to the stickers.

| Freebies & Punches |
[September 13, 2011 @ 8:25am] |
On my last break I headed over to the hardware and took a bunch of these color samples. I need to make another trip, heh. I most grabbed the pinks & purples. But I spent an hour last night with my halloween punches until my hand/arm hurt.
I want to make more of these and send them out to a few of my creative penpals/swappers.

| A deco that Piratess Pamela made~ |
[September 12, 2011 @ 10:57pm] |
THEME: Halloween
MADE FOR: Carmen
MADE BY: Piratess Pamela
My entry: I used a print out I was going to use for another deco. It is just too cute. I used some ribbon, a lot of stickers, Halloween scrapbook paper, flower border punch, and rubber stamps. Also neon glitter and sealed with Duck EZstart tape.

| A deco that Crystal made~ |
[September 12, 2011 @ 10:57pm] |
THEME:Someone Who Left This World Too Soon
MADE FOR: Sheri Lea Pond
MADE BY: Crystal Lamb
My entry: It took me a long time to find an image that I like out there. Some where just plain cruel~ But I liked the colors on this one. I tried to keep it simple by just using some ribbons, my flower ribbon punch, and flower confetti that I forgot I had. I added neon glitter and sealed it up with my favorite tape.

| MAIL ART from Norma |
[September 11, 2011 @ 8:56am] |
Fat mail alert~! Thank you, Norma for such a huggable package! All I can say is, "wow!" I love everything you sent my way. I wasn't aware you could cram so much into an envelope like that.
Here is the back of the envelope.
Paper heaven, right here.
The glitter flower brads are too cute. Love the ribbon which I plan to use on some decos. And the push pins~ Purple (fave color) stars. ^___^
Super fine glitter~ Love the earth tones which are colors I do not have. Many thanks for that. I cannot resist the colors in the other pack. ^___~ A girl can never have enough glitter.
The stickers are too cute~ The handmade sticker are beautiful and I never seen stickers like the metallic flower/buttery ones. I just had to sneak in your postcards, hehe.
I love this. You make the best postcards. ^_______^ I really need to learn how to use my lil' purple pixie sewing machine. It is still in the box it came in...
A closer look~
Again, thanks so much and I love it all. I cannot wait to be able to do this again. ^____^

| Oh my, Studio G at Walmart~ |
[August 23, 2011 @ 9:53am] |
I did some unexpected supply shopping at Wal-Mart when I went to return a shirt. Jamie was talking to a former co-worker so I took off to the craft area, hehe. Stationery was to crowded with all the last minute back to school shoppers... But I found some Studio G goodies~! The mod wasn't all set yet but I was able to find some really cool stuff.
But first, I had two little furry helpers making thing difficult. This is Chaser trying to get Fable out of the way.
Fable thinking he is helping me out by laying on my stuff.
The lil' rubber stamps were to cute to pass up and they even come with an ink pad.
The star was the main reason why I picked this up. But the little vampire was cute too. This comes with a black ink pad.
The spiderweb was what caught my eye and the cute lil' frankenstein reminded me of a penpal of mine. I want to use it on her envelope next time. The ink pad is silver.
I can't get enough of these alpha stamp sets. They come in handy on decos and label bags.
Ah, this one is my favorite~!
I though these were pretty cool too.
I can't wait to use these. ^___~
I also bought these epoxy brads.
A closer look~ Loving the skulls.
I found these cool hole punches too. I want to fill up lil' baggies for my deco swappers.
This one is my favorite. Skull love~
So I hope to keep seeing more Studio G products at Wal-Mart. I'll have to go back and check when they finish putting everything out. I wonder what acrylic stamps they are going to get.
Thanks for stopping by. Now it is time to rush to work.

| Label & Stationery Swap |
[August 22, 2011 @ 6:41pm] |
I've been wanting to post these pictures since I sent the labels out. But I was waiting for the stationery to come in so that I could just do one post. Last month I swapped some labels for stationery with Estela in Spain.
I sent her twelve sheets of labels.
Along with a little note that I type so I could use the new font I downloaded. I am still trying to find all the fonts I used to have before my computer died.
Last Friday I got this~ Sadly one of her envelopes was damaged and had to be put in a bag before leaving Spain.
Not sure what is missing but I love what I got. ^_____^ Thank you~
This one was sealed and okay though.
The pen was a little damaged but still works and I love the memo pads.
Love the Diddl pad too.
Thanks, Estela for a great swap. ^____^

| Update mail & me |
[August 17, 2011 @ 11:43pm] |
I've been wanting to update but my lazy self keeps winning. Mainly I have just felt drained and so distracted lately. So it is time to focus on my mail again. So I have been doing a little here and there.
I was working on a package for Crystal here using my new border bunch. I am getting the hang of it.
See~ I did this while watching Medium which I am determined to finish before they take it off Netflix. But I want to make a lot and share with my penpals/swappers. ^______^
Ugh, I have even been ignoring my mail & swap journal. I hope to catch up tomorrow but at least mail has been slow coming in.
This is the very recent but I have a few deco swaps to post that arrived as well. But here you can see Kyle's letter that came in last Friday. I had a slam (in blue envie) returned from Flavia in England. And a small note from Carly in Scotland. She moved also and I need to update her on my new addy. Funny thing is that it didn't have an ugly yellow forwarding sticker on it. I think the mail man knows I moved, heh.
I worked on an envie for Sylverhawk this morning. I'll show the rest later when I make another post about it. Sneak peak, hehe.
I even made myself some labels since I have been up since 6am.
So I am determined to get all caught up again. Sorry for the delay if I owe you a letter/swap. Le me know if I owe you something cause I am so forgetful~ It sucks really. I always put things off until my days off but then those days come... And I end up too tired and with no motivation at all. *sighs* So I wait until the next days... So then weeks go by... Grrr, I feel terrible because I feel like I wasted my days off. >__<

| The rest of my shopping~ |
[August 09, 2011 @ 8:35am] |
Here is the rest of what I bought last Friday. I am so behind with posting pictures on here that I am about to just give up on posting them, heh.
I bought these while Jamie was getting some information at the pharmacy. I bought this and a birthday card for my dad. I mailed that super late.
The post office was our next stop... I bought these stamps and mailed out some heavy packages. Pictures will come~
I got a few thing at Target~ I love their $1 bin, hehe. I bought some ribbon, list pad (that I use as stationery), and this flower punch that was on clearance. I am still trying to figure it out but I cannot wait to use it on for some deco supplies.
Target also had these cupcake sandwhich bags (to be used as goodie bags), star stickers (been buying anything rainbow lately), and this cute file holder (will be used to hold large decos). That is all~ I still have pictures from a haul like two weeks ago. xD *sighs* Soon I will catch up, lol.

| Shopping at Michael's |
[August 05, 2011 @ 7:36pm] |
Even though I shouldn't have... I did a little shopping today...
I only spent $20.68 which isn't bad, right? I got so many goodies though.
These were the first thing that went in my basket! At 49 cents how could I not? I doubled up on a few, hehe.
Oh my, how could I not pick up this Scentos marker? It's too funny and smells like Grape. They had others like strawberry and orange. I also found this lil' kitty punch and some flowers.
I don't have many ribbons so I picked these up in the dollar bin. I want to use them on decos and maybe on some envies too.
I bought these mainly for sticker bags. I have a few I want to sign and move along.
I did some more shopping at Target but I still need to edit the photos. So it is all about Michael's here. ^_____~

| A deco session.... |
[July 22, 2011 @ 8:17am] |
Lately I have been focusing on the decos I have sitting here. I got some moving without siging them but some have made their way back to me. I took this chance to deco them before passing them on. I determined to deco at least once a week when I am off. Especially lately that it has been so hot, heh. Here are ramdom shots from my last deco session...
This is one of the decos I worked on but I really didn't like my entry, heh. I really don't have much of my stuff out yet and I am forcing myself to use up what I have in boxes. So I felt limited here, ha! But this is the cover on the deco and I will post my entry later since I didn't take a picture of it.
Here is Tanya's deco which I love how the cover was made.
My little entry and I used no tape at all.
I love working on Halloween decos! I have so much stuff to use for them too since I go crazy buying stuff that are 50 to 70 percent off after the holiday is over.
Here's my entry for that one.
I did a lot of decoing that day. I am about to start another session later on today. I did scan some of the decos and I will be posting them up as soon as I upload them. Some are already gone but most of them are looking for a new home. ^_____~

| Mail Art from Jessica~ |
[July 22, 2011 @ 7:52am] |
I want to thank you Jessica for this beautiful envelope~!
Oh my, I love how it turned out, girl! ^____________^ Before I get to what is inside I will drool over the envie again, hehe.
Here's a butterfly I found on the envelope.
This is the back of the envelope.
A closer look at this cute kitty that is my favorite, hehe.
Another shot of it.
I love the vintage look of it all. Thanks so much, Jessica.
My first look of what's inside and I love it all. ^_________^ I am planning to use this stuff on some decos too since I have been focusing on them lately.
Loving the froggy stickers so much!
Mermaids!
A little packaged of more goodies. The air mail stamps are my favorite.
I cannot wait to use these~!
I have been eyeing these kinds of stamps and now I can try them out.
She also wrote me a lil' letter on such cute stationery. You can see the pretty gift wrap she used as well.
I love all this stuff and I cannot wait to use them all.
  
Again, thank you so much~! It really made me smile when I got it in. This was a great swap to do and I would like to do so again. ^______~

| Mail Update from me |
[July 11, 2011 @ 8:51pm] |
Finally sitting down here and updating my blog. I am still not entirely settled in which I should be by now. But eh, I have no motivation right now. I keep waiting until my days off and that is not getting me anywhere. I need to stop that~ But here is some mail that has left Ohio because of me.
I was finally able to mail out some letters today. I have been really slacking lately. But I am trying to get back to the penpal/swapping world. I sent out two letters this morning~ A letter to Jessica with some recent label designs I made. Also, this letter to Tabitha was suppose to go out late last month but I found it in my purse still unsealed. So I added a note and couple of pages of stationery.
I sent these early this month but can't remember the day exactly. Grr, I hate not being organized. But I sent out some excess to Jennifer and a couple of decos to Sheri.
Some FB goodies for Danielle who I met via Livejournal. I am not sure when this went out but it was late last month.

| FBs & Lbs |
[June 20, 2011 @ 9:58am] |
I have been focusing on label bags mostly since most of my creative stuff is all packed up. All I have really is my printer and PC~ So I created some label bags & Fbs on my computer.
Here is a close up of the label bags I made.
I hope I saved the template because it would like to make more with diffent designs. ^_____^
Here are the FBs I made which are really small and cute! I can only use tiny labels on these. I used a thick tissue paper for the inside pages.
Here's a closer look. ^____^

| Mail Update |
[June 20, 2011 @ 9:32am] |
Oh my, I have been wanting to do an actual mail update for a while now. My mail is slow these days which is fine. I cannot wait to move and be all settled down so I can get back to my mail, heh.
I wil start things off with recent mail. I got these two letters in on Saturday.
Here is the back of JJKun's letter. Too cute. ^_____^
I got this letter on the 17th from Vanessa L. in MO. I still need to reply to this one as well.
Remember this? Well, I got it back since I didn't put enough postage. Grr. I took it to the post office to mail it out to make sure I had the right amount. This went out Thursday.
Thank you all for sending some mail my way. ^____~
I have been working on getting rid of my excess for a while now. I went from two bins to just one and mostly what I have left are FBs & decos. I still have label bags left but not as much.
All of this went out last Thursday and mostly was label bags.
These are stamped and ready to go out today. Hopefully the mailman will pick the up and not ignore my mail. It really pisses me off when she/he does that. I have my little red mail clip which stands out against the black of our mailbox. Grr.
I am returning a full LB her way and added a few too.
Sending out some excess to NY.
Sending some random excess to her as well.
Sending Matilde an anime deco that I found.
That's pretty much it for this post. We move this Friday/Saturday. Ah, finally~

| Package from Red Maga |
[June 16, 2011 @ 3:56pm] |
Package from Red Maga
A few days ago this was waiting for me when I got home from work. I really love the deco tape she used on this envie and the fact that it has been reused so many times. I already have ideas for it, hehe.
I really love the MashiMaro stationery she used. She also send me some loose stationery and a cool pad. Thankies~ ^_____^
The envie was stuffed with FBs and a few decos. All were neat booklets and I cannot wait to sign them. I need to make myself and others some labels soon. I will try to squeeze that in between packing and moving. The computer will be the last to go in a box, heh.
Thanks, so much~!

| A little mail update before work... |
[June 05, 2011 @ 8:42am] |
I worked on these on my days off and I was finally able to mail them all out yesterday before work. ^___^ Sure feels good.
I have excess going to Jenny H. in Germany, Thinisha in SC, Pattie L. in NJ, and Mary F. in PA. I made a nice dent in my excess boxes~ Actually I can fit them all in one. ^_____~
I also mailed out two letters~! I sent some excess to Vanessa L. along with my intro letter. I found these old envelopes I made but for some reason never used them. Too cute.
There isn't much since mail has been a little slow for me for a while. But I did mail out a couple of letters that I haven't posted on here yet.
Not sure is she got this yet but I mailed out some excess stuff and a letter. It is good to be swapping & penpalling, Tanya. xoxo
Katie already got this~ ^____^ I think it got their quick too. I also sent her some labels I made. I need to remember to send some FBs with my next letter.
That is all. I better get some breakfast before I go into work.
