Have Art Supplies, Will Travel

Hello Folks!I'm on vacation in Denver, Colorado!  A beautiful place to visit and the gateway to the Colorado Rockies!  So why am I posting this?  Well my wonderful good buddy had to work today.  She JUST got a job after living and going to school here for a year and this is not do to lack of trying.  So there was no way I could ask her to take the day off.  We'll have the other days to be together.
But I don't mind- I brought things to do

And isn't it great when you can do what you love!  That's a vacation in itself.
Here's some of the outgoing from Colorado.

I had some help responding to the letters.

And here's a beautiful pic of the downtown.

This is the twilight sky- love the clouds and moon.

Happy travels, my friends!

Send a Drawing Project

Hello Folks,
I have to admit something.  I am just as curious about who read my blog as you all are about next post.  Thus when a new person "follows", I tend to look back at their profile to see if they also have a blog.  I have found a few good sites this way and it gives me some context on the person if they write me.
Well recently I saw that Creatively Marie had added on and I back tracked to her main blog and saw a side project she was working on called Send a Drawing Project.  So I emailed her for more info. 
Marie is looking for drawings to help inspire her daughter who has physically disabled but mentally very creative!   Art is one of those amazing medias that allow people to communicate emotions and ideas without words. 
Now I am not very blessed in the drawing department, but I do like to think that I am creative.  I hope to create something special and send it along.  The project very much reminds me of one of my favorite movies My Left Foot.  The movie is about Christy Brown who had cerebral palsy.  In a time when those children were hidden away, he became a celebrated artist, poet, and author breaking all kinds of barriers! Here's a recent article about him for some more details.
So if you want to inspire, but some ink to paper and show Marie's daughter your artwork.  Maybe we can inspire her to create her own!
Hope this finds you all creating something special!  And with this I'm off to Colorado!

Overwhelmed

Dear friends,
So summer seems to be here in more way than one.  I have a job that is a bit seasonal and so the craziness at work has started.  Plus the summer travel is in full swing.  I am packing tonight for a long weekend trip to Denver, Colorado to see Breeziekay and a few other old friends.  So my posts may be sparse the next few weeks, but I hope to have some pics of my travels!

Some garden cards from Iota also usher in the growing season and my patio garden which is growing like weeds- well I guess catnip technically is.  
Anyway, I hope this finds you all happy and busy making memories or at least writing about them!
My Best,

The Cuteness

SO I have been trying a to be very good about using stationery and have polished off a few sets but I was in the store the other day and  . . . . well stationery happens.
Some of my warn and fuzzy new items.

Bunnies

Cats in Hats

And finally puppies with cute quotes!  Sorry they are obscured by the flash, but maybe they will land in a mailbox near you : )
Hope this finds you all sending and receiving lots of mail!

Better Stop Now

Hello all,
I have had a frantic day running errands and slowly I am beginning to respond to all the mail I received over the week plus that I couldn't get because my Post Office had after hour lock down due to door problems.  Usually I post my incoming mail on Sunday after I've had a chance to respond but . . .

the board is rather full already.  So I figured I'd better stop now and post so I can start over with a clean slate.
Most of the mail on the board consists of postcards from postcrossing and sendsomething.  One to point out is in the center- a Chinese postcrosser sent me the lovely card of little Buddhist boys playing!  I think this one will be on the fridge for a bit.  And the postcard in the top right corner that's a blur, is from Belarus but the thing took such a beating that from every angle it reflected.  I tried to get a good shot.

I also got a few more new stamps.  These are kind of retro- but very pretty.  I've already busted out the Indy cars and love the way they look on the envies.
I hope this finds you all well and happy!
