I often get the comment from people that making mailart and being creative is expensive. I grew up poor and can remember that some of my favorite toy were ones that I made, and it still holds true that I love to make and design all kinds of lovely craft projects. I also like to shop as much as the next person (notice I didn't gender specify), but I am always looking for a deal. I refuse to pay full price for stationery unless its for a cause or from Etsy. So here are some more things I found last year for a $1 or less.
 |
| all stamps $1 each |
 |
| Why oh why I felt the need to buy these, I'll never know! As I have too much stationery already. |
 |
| the Beatles! Yellow Submarine edition. I left Bob Marley and Nascar where they sat. Somehow I seem to find the randomness stationery. |
 |
| Free! Paint chips. Gotta love free. |
Remember, you don't have to spend a ton to make things cool- maybe I'll have to do a mailart post on freebies sometime, hmmmm . . . something to consider ; )
Hope this finds you all creating and mailing,

I really envy you for the stamps! here, they are really very expensive! and not so funny..
ReplyDeleteWith just a little imagination, I'm surprised at the things I'm finding for free or very little cost. And I cannot stress enough... security envelopes from junk mail are your friend. So many different patterns and colors just begging to be used, and they come straight to your door!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love finding arty crafty bargains too :-) x
