<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Happy 2020! On this first day of the New Year, I just wanted to wish you a wonderful start. If today isn't all you thought it would be, don't worry. The<span style="color: #bf9000;"> </span><span style="color: #f1c232;">sun </span>will rise tomorrow. There are 364 days left in the year. We can restart, reset... begin again. And again. And again. Don't give up on what you want for yourself, and <i>I won't either</i>. We can do this!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hi there! Today I am sharing my planners that cover the days of 11/11 - 11/17 (2019). Shown above are an A5 & a personal size Webster's Pages planner. I'm experimenting using these two sizes to see which one I prefer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Days and weeks go by so quickly. I use my planners to keep track of daily tasks, and important events. I decorate my planner pages so that I have something pretty to look at. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Let's just say that looking at <i>chores</i> listed on a <span style="color: #e69138;"><b>decorated</b></span> page makes having to do the laundry <span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>exciting</b></span>. Plus, it's just a fun, creative outlet for me. I get to play with pens, glue and stickers just like I did when I was little!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To decorate the A5 planner, I used the Maggie Holmes Heritage Collection*. To decorate the personal size planner, I used the Maggie Holmes sticker book & the Maggie Holmes Heritage Collection*. (Product links listed at end of post*). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Do you use a planner? If so, do you use just one?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Thank you for stopping by today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here are some new additions to my planner/journal collection. They are from the company, Webster's Pages. The design is called, <i><span style="color: magenta;">"Sweet Caroline"</span></i>, and was created by <i>Libby Moore</i>. I think they are pretty charming!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">How is life in your neighborhood? It's been a bit hectic around here. The good news is that the city is re-paving our street and driveway. The bad news is...well, ...the city is re-paving our street and driveway. Ha, ha, ha, ha! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">At least they are doing <i>one side</i> of the street at a time. It just happens to be our side of the street. Everyone is in a mad rush in the morning to pull their cars out of the driveway, and park across the street. What's nice is that they knock on your door to make <span style="color: orange;">sure</span> you do it. "The City" starts promptly at 7am.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It's been a bonding experience for our block. We all compare notes on how we think the city is progressing. In the beginning, we were all suspicious. Everyone had their cameras out to document any possible damage to their property. Ha, ha, ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, the construction workers won us over. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They are friendly, considerate, and work incredibly efficiently! It's been amazing to watch. Our cats are even getting used to the noise outside, and go about their regular routine (which includes a lot of napping).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I hope all is well on your block.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hugs!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is one of my favorite guys in the world, besides my husband! Mr. T is a tuxedo cat, but he's quite informal in person. He, he, he...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;"><i>Here are a few of my favorite things about him:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">When he gets excited, he does a little jump on his hind legs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He gives the </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>sweetest,</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> "Eskimo kiss", after he gets a tummy rub!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He does a little prance around the kitchen when he's happy to see me!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He loves to </span><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>cuddle</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> with his sisters. It's an adorable thing to see...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lastly, he uses his paws like I use my hands. One time, I saw him tap his sister </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">on the head</i><span style="font-size: large;"> when she was being difficult! I've seen him do it more than once, and it always makes me laugh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have any pets? I didn't have many pets growing up. Having Mr. T in my life has really opened up a softer side of me. I just love taking care of him ... or is it me that's being taken care of?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hug your loved ones!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I participated in the <a href="https://websterspages.com/" target="_blank">Webster's Pages</a> October Challenge. <b><span style="color: cyan;">GOOD NEWS: I won, I won, I won, I won!</span> </b>I just found out this week. Okay, but, wait ... there are a couple of itty-bitty details:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. I wasn't the only winner</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2. Winners were picked randomly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>I'll still be celebrating...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Ahem, drum roll please...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">ALL.MONTH.LONG!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Winners will receive some <a href="https://websterspages.com/" target="_blank">Webster's Pages</a> goodies in the mail. I promise to share them here once they arrive! I'm a big fan of the company. I purchased twelve of their planners, </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">and I have pocket and standard size </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">TNs</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> as well.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I participated in the challenge to spark my creativity & to make new friends in the "planner community". I did both! <span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>That's a win, win!</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Participants created either a planner and/or traveler's notebook <i>layout</i> based on a weekly theme. Here are 4<span style="color: #e69138; font-weight: bold;"> </span>of my entries:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">What makes you feel cozy in the Fall? I reflected on that as I created this page in my Webster's Pages TN insert. Here are some things that make me feel <b><span style="color: #783f04;">cozy</span></b>:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Halloween 2019 is wrapped & in the books! I'm sad to see it go... Pictured above is my "before-the-pen" layout in both my Webster's Pages A5 size, and personal size planners (upper right in photo). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I had so much fun this year! My neighbors and I had fancy appetizers (on our front lawn), while we handed out candy to the kiddos. We bundled up and kept talking for hours outside after the trick-or-treaters had gone home. I have to keep the <b><span style="color: #e69138;">*magic* </span></b>going ... for <i>at least</i> a few more weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I recently found a few hashtags on Instagram that I'm going to follow: #halloweenislife, #halloweenisalifestyle, and #everydayishalloween. The last one has 472K posts! I'm sure I will find some secrets on how to keep the party going! There are always reasons to celebrate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hope you had fun, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hugs!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you collect anything? I collect vintage toys, ephemera, wood stamps, and even more things... I recently organized my wood, rubberstamp collection. The photo above represents a small portion of my stamps.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I think I started collecting them because I couldn't draw. Ha, ha, ha! I couldn't draw, but I still wanted to create beautiful things <span style="font-size: small;">(i.e. cards, art journals, etc...)</span> with stunning images. Wood stamps solved my problem. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the next year or so, I would like to create something with <b><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">every stamp</span></i> </b>shown in the photo. Once I do that, I will change the display. Then, I'll make something with the new stamps. That way, I'll ensure that I'm not <u>hoarding</u><b> </b>stamps. Ha, ha, ha! Rather, I'll be <b><span style="color: magenta;">using &</span> <i><span style="color: orange;">enjoying</span></i></b> them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe I'll even share my creations here. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(If they turn out okay, I definitely will. If not, you'll never know. Wink!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

P.S.<br />
(1) I found the wood storage at Michaels (and used a 50% off coupon).<br />
(2) Most of the stamps above are from the following companies: Stampers Anonymous, Hampton Art, and Inkadinkado.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I am still continuing to write letters to people in need that I've found through the <a href="http://www.moreloveletters.com/" target="_blank">"More Love Letters" website.</a> It's my hope to write at least one person every month. So many people are going through tough times. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">It's strange, but writing to others to make them feel better, <i><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>makes me feel better</b></span></i>. It gets me out of thinking about myself and <i>my</i> problems. It makes the world feel smaller, more intimate. Other people struggle, too, --- not just you and me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">You can always look around and find someone doing "better" than you (however you define that word), and someone doing worse... While we shouldn't compare ourselves to others, it's good to recognize that <span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>everyone</b></span> struggles at some point in their lives. The more we can <b><u>openly</u></b> talk about it, and share our pain with others, the better. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I think by sharing our stories of hardship, it gives others permission to admit that it's okay <u>not</u> to have everything figured out <span style="color: #990000;"><i>right now</i></span>. It's okay to NOT be perfect. It's okay to be yourself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Have you heard of the non-profit organization called "More Love Letters*" (*MLL)? It's wonderful! Right now, they have a 12 day writing campaign for people that could use some encouragement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The holiday season can be particularly sad, and emotional, depending on what has happened in someone's life. A letter can brighten someone's day, if only for a moment. You can read about the people in need, and find their letter requests on the More Love Letters website. Just click the link below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.moreloveletters.com/12days/" target="_blank">12 December Love Letter Requests</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There is still time to participate in the campaign. Letters must be mailed by this <span style="color: red;"><b>Wednesday, 12/20/17</b></span>. Depending on how much time you have, you can </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">write 1, 2, 3, ... or - - - 12 letters. I wrote 12 cards/letters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Overall, writing the letters was uplifting. It's something that I would like to continue, since MLL posts requests each month on their website. Honestly, I was sad after reading <i>each request</i>. These are people who are dealing with real problems like death, disease and homelessness - RIGHT NOW. I let the request seep in, and then thought about how to encourage the recipient. Sometimes, I couldn't think of anything to say. I had to sleep on it. At times (<i>often?</i>) my words were inadequate. That was frustrating! However, it was putting <u>in</u> the effort that made me feel good. I may never be able to stop bad things from happening in the world, but </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I CAN</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> write a card/letter/postcard - - - </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>TODAY</b></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> - - -to someone that needs it. There is power in that!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If YOU know someone who is mourning a loved one(s), battling depression, or suffering from <b><span style="color: red;">any</span> </b>other<b> </b>type of setback in life, you can nominate them on the MLL website to receive <span style="color: red;"><b>love letters</b></span>. I'm thinking about doing it... Here is a link to the page where you can nominate someone:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.moreloveletters.com/nominate-someone-for-love-letters" target="_blank">nominate someone for love letters (MLL)</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you do nominate someone, there are a few things to consider. First, <u>you</u> will be the contact person. The letters will be sent to your loved one "in care of" <i><b><span style="color: red;">you</span></b></i>. You have to be comfortable sharing your address, or the address you want the letters to come to, <i>with the public</i>. The address will be published on the <b>More Love Letters website</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One safe/privacy <i>option</i> is to provide a post office box address. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You can rent a P.O. Box at your local post office. They can tell you about the box <u>sizes</u> & <u>rates</u> that are available. Then, you can rent a box temporarily to cover the time that the letters will be coming in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, there! Where do you keep your contact information? Do you keep it on your cellphone? Most people do these days. I keep some numbers in my cell phone, but I keep <b><i><span style="color: orange;">most</span> </i></b>of my information in an address book.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The photo above is of my <span style="color: red;">new</span> address book. <span style="color: red;">I love it!</span> It's a small Filofax planner (personal size). I wasn't using it much prior to converting it into an address book. However, I always loved the bright, red color! As my address book from the year 2000 (!) was getting torn up & ugly, I knew I had to replace it. I just couldn't find anything I liked...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally it dawned on me to use my Filofax, instead of searching for something else. I removed all the planner pages, then inserted alphabetical dividers & address pages from Day Runner. I also cut some Pink Paislee scrapbook paper down to size, and glued the "hello" journal card on top of it. It was so <u>simple</u> to set up. I'm really happy with how it turned out! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">God Bless!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Love,</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me introduce you to my new, "Market Floral", Happy Planner! Isn't she pretty? I was out of town <span style="color: magenta;">minding my own business</span> when I drove by Michaels craft store. I decided to pop in and take a look around. I didn't pack a planner with me on my trip, so I went to peek at the planner aisle. Well, I walked by "Market Floral" and she jumped into my arms and gave me a <span style="color: magenta;">kiss</span>. LOL.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I decided to pick up a black and white striped cover to make sure "Market Floral" was always protected. A lady needs a jacket to make sure she stays warm, right? He, he, he! This is the first time the company,"Me and My Big Ideas", has offered a deluxe, striped, planner cover, so I snapped it up! Plus, black and white is one of my favorite color combinations.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The planner runs from July 2017 through December 2018. Here's a look at the July starter pages:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been having so much fun with my Traveler's Notebooks! This is my first year using them. I'm so glad I decided to <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">jump in </span></b>and try them. They're fun to decorate and journal in. Shown clockwise in the photo above are my Prima Planner Traveler's Jounal ("Jet Setter"), Midori Traveler's Notebook, The Reset Girl Doc-It Journal (by Simple Stories), and my Prima Planner Traveler's Journal ("Jet Setter") again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I first learned about Traveler's Notebooks when I saw pictures of them on Instagram. If you <i>search</i> Instagram using the hashtag #travelersnotebook, you will discover many artists. Here are links to a <u>few</u> people who inspire me on the site:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Wednesday! I meant to share this with you earlier. This is my "Doc-It Journal" by Simple Stories. It's part of their Reset Girl collection. I think they call it "Doc-It" because it fits in back of the Simple Stories Carpe Diem Planners. Basically, you can doc-it in the back of the planner <span style="color: orange;"><u>until you need it. </u></span>It's perfect for journaling, random notes, or whatever you can think of...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">You know what? I just thought of another reason it's probably called "Doc-It"! You can use it to <i><b>doc</b></i>-ument your daily life. You can see the edges of my speckled, "Doc-It Journal" cover in the back of my Carpe Diem planner here:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">How do you document your life? Do you scrapbook? Journal? Do you create pocket pages with journal cards? I do all 3 depending upon my mood. I plan to share more of my work with you this year.

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Greetings! I'm back to share more mail art creations. All of today's envelopes share 5 things in common:</span></span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">A Stamper's Anonymous Rubber Stamped Image</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">A vintage illustration of a woman from my personal collection</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">A chipboard flower or butterfly from Tim Holtz idea-ology "Botanical" layers (a 2017 release)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">Postage stamps with "Vintage Seed Packet" illustrations from 1910-1920. (These stamps were first issued by the U.S. Post Office in 2013.)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">All envelopes are 6" x 9"</span></span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: large;">I was inspired to make these envelopes because I saw Tim Holtz idea-ology chipboard pieces at either Michaels or Hobby Lobby craft store. The <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">"Botanical" Layers</span></b> pack I bought has an assortment of birds, butterflies and flowers. They come in color and in black & white. There are 83 pieces in the pack.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought it would be nice to pair the chipboard pieces with rubberstamps and vintage illustrations. Please take a look below. I hope you like them!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I heard somewhere that to get a letter, you have to send a letter. That's so true! I've been decorating envelopes to get warmed up for some serious letter writing sessions. Do you write letters?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I started writing letters in elementary school to a friend that I made in summer camp. We are still friends to this day! When I was in junior high school, we moved overseas. Letter writing was the perfect way to keep up with all my friends. It was fun! Social media didn't exist <b><span style="color: orange;">way-back-when</span></b>, ha ha ha! And international phone calls were way too expensive.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Today, I have 15+ pen pals. Honestly, I <i>struggle</i> to keep up. I used to create my own stationery & envelopes - - - <span style="color: #6aa84f;">one-at-a-time. <span style="color: black;">I would make stationery for 1 person, then write their letter.</span> <span style="color: black;">However, this time I made ALL the stationery FIRST. It really saved time! I only had to take out my craft supplies <u>once</u>, and clean everything up <u><b>once</b></u>. And believe me, I make a mess!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;">The envelopes above are easy to make. Each message on the envelope is actually a Project Life 3" x 4" card that I cut up. Here are the basic steps I took to <u>make all 3 envelopes:</u></span></span></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Tape doily onto 6" x 9" envelope</span></span></span></span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
</span>
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Take Project Life journal card, cut out message & tape on top of doily</span></span></span></span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
</span>
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Rubberstamp image onto envelope</span></span></span></span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
</span>
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Add postage in right corner </span></span></span></span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
</span>
</span>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Add other decorative elements such as washi tape if desired (as in photo 2) </span></span></span></span></li>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span></ol>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;">You can do it, too! What takes time is taping down each decorative element, so that it doesn't get <i>damaged/ripped</i> in transit. I used a combination of tape and a glue stick (that dries clear). A post man explained to me that each letter gets handled <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">multiple times</span></b> before it reaches its destination. So it's important to glue everything down! </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;">When I take these envelopes to the post office, I will request <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">hand-canceling</span></b>.* When you request hand-cancelling, the mail won't be run through a machine (where embellishments could rip off). It costs extra for this service, but it's not that much. I'm sorry, I can't recall the fee at the moment... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;">I'll be back tomorrow to share more mail art! C'mon back! </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">*CANCELING MAIL -vs- HAND-CANCELLING MAIL</span></b>: stamps are "cancelled" so that postage stamps cannot be re-used. Basically, mail is run through a machine that makes a mark on the stamp(s) indicating that it has been used. When mail is hand-cancelled, the postal worker marks the stamps by hand. Delicate or decorative mail will be protected. It's a great option if you have fancy wedding invitations with wax seals, or other mail that you want to arrive at its destination intact.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." - Gloria Steinem</b></i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I love quotes! The one above is particularly <i><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>inspiring</b></span></i>. I wanted to create something with a romantic feel to include with the quote in my traveler's notebook. I recently bought some romantic/vintage looking papers by Prima Marketing, Inc. <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: large;">("Debutante" & "Romance Novel") and thought they would be perfect! I decided to cut them up and layer them on the pages above.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">In the photo below, I used the "Romance Novel" paper collection. I've been getting pretty philosophical as a big birthday approaches for me, so I wrote some of my feelings down. I'm finding the traveler's notebook format convenient for short journal entries. Plus, I can make everything look pretty! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Paper crafting + Writing in my traveler's notebook = <span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Absolute Happiness!</b></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess what? I purchased another <b><i><span style="color: #134f5c;">traveler's notebook</span></i></b>! This one (above) is from Prima Marketing, Inc. It has nice, thick, blank pages that are good for rubber stamping! My other notebook, a Midori Traveler's Notebook, has grid-lined pages. I shared some pages from my "Midori" notebook in my previous post. You can read it by clicking: <a href="http://tiffanyvalentine.blogspot.com/2017/07/midori-travelers-notebook.html" target="_blank">*right here.*</a> I enjoy <span style="color: cyan;">variety </span>so both notebooks work for me! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Quotes by famous people have always inspired me. I <i>meant</i> to watch the series about Albert Einstein called, "Genius", on the National Geographic Channel this year, - - - - but I missed it! In the meantime, these quotes will have to do! LOL. I'll see if I can watch the series if it's available "on demand" through my cable provider. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">So, Einstein is the <b>source & inspiration </b>for the pages above. Plus, I already had the man-collage stamp (called "Treasured Memories 3", by Prima Marketing) which seemed perfect to add with the quotes. I stamped the image on beige-colored vellum and glued it to the page. I really like the subtle change in color from the white pages to the beige vellum. I hope you like it, too! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Which quote above resonates with you? I love them all, but the one on the left seems particularly important. We all have challenges, but the quote reminds me to push through them, and remember whatever lessons that they offer...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">By the way, I heard that the "Genius" show will continue on the National Geographic Channel. They will feature a new genius each season. Stay tuned!</span><br />
