"Oh Hello Friend" Package Swap 2012.

This month I participated in the Wonderful Package Swap from the lovely Danni over at "Oh Hello Friend" - I was a little hesitant to sign up as I never recieved my package from the "Send Something Good" project a few months ago. (I've tried not to Whinge & Complain! but after no contact from my partner - even after numerous polite emails.. I just don't think it's good manners to sign up & not see something through! Ugh.. Rant over :]) but I just could not resist - I adore Danni's Blog & so just had to sign up! So here is What I sent to my Lovely Partner Lea from "We Like to make Stuff" P.S - being super silly I forgot to photograph what I include.. Hopefully Lea will have some photos up soon!

Whenever I'm feeling crappy, sorry for myself or just annoyed with the world - I take a little walk to a beautiful little lookout about 10 minutes from home. Even in the middle of winter I am reminded how freaking lucky I am to live & grow up in such a beautiful piece of the world. Today was no exception. I am Thankful. I am Lucky. I am Home.

The Elevated Envelope

This Summer (Winter for me!) I had the Absolute Pleasure of Participating in "The Elevated Envelope Project" created by the incredible Tara Bilven.. If you're into Mail Art, Letters or just Pretty things in general I highly reccommend popping over to her blog & taking part in the next Project!

The Summer 2012 Theme was "Sweet" & after Umming & Ahhing for a few weeks I decided to take it as literal as possible - Candy! With a couple of bright candy wrappers, some glittery paper & Some Super Sweet Song Lyrics (Candy Girl - The Archies ++ Lollipop - Mika) I created these super bright - Sparkly Envelopes (with a few sweet surprises inside!)
