This morning I sent off some more homemade cards, in my ongoing effort to keep up with the family calendar.
Of course, except in cases of extreme duress (read: busyness), I don't send envelopes out into the world naked.
After I've read the magazines I receive, and have clipped out and carefully filed (ahahaha) any articles, etc, I want to keep, I give them one more pass-through just for the love of words and snail mail.
I have a few old manila file folders, the insides of which I've 'striped' with a repositionable glue stick (oh, how I love me some repositionable glue stick!).
This is how I store all the wonderful little words and phrases I cut from the magazines, so they are nice and handy when I am dressing envelopes
I have a lot of fun choosing an adjective or phrase to describe myself and the addressee(s)...
...and selecting some random thought for the back sides of the envelopes.
It doesn't cost me anything.
And it makes me laugh.
Try it.
You'll like it.
And put my address on the front of the envelope, will you?
