Lauren Carney is by far one of my Favourite Artists - I Bought a set of her beautiful postcards (Mini Prints) at the "Finders Keepers" Market last December.. I finally found a place to display them :) I Whipped up a Paint Chip Garland - Found some itty bitty pegs & Strung it all up - Pretty hey!

  6. love your journal ideas...mind if i take a few? ;) last month i started to make an art journal. i had never done one before and am happy with how it's turning out. some ideas that i use would be putting stationery on pages, different things i might get when out(postcards, business cards, interesting tags, pictures, etc..) i also love to write with gel pens. :)
    beautiful mail as always girl!

  19. lady! really cute blog! I run the scribble project, so just wanted to say big thanks for putting a link in your sidebar, lovely to see you like the project.

    Your journal in this post is cuteee! I 'm a sucker for anything that's hand-drawn, neat and colourful. Maybe you'd have some fun with my book The Scribble Diary: www.thescribblediary.com - if you do end up having a doodle in it, let me know, it'd be fun to see your handiwork in there. xx

  20. I love that paint chip garland! You should do a tutorial on it, because I'd love to make on ... or, sell them on your blog. I'd definitely buy one :)

  21. Hey there Rin. It's taken me THIS LONG to a) write back to you (hope it's there by now) and b) check out your blog. THANKS for making contact. I think what you're doing is wonderful. If everyone could get a letter in the post every now and then I think we'd all be a lot happier! You certainly brightened my day! peace out lady! Zed.
