Playing catch up!

So, as it turned out I didn't get a chance to write about some awesome mail yesterday. Albeit not for the reason I suspected. I wasn't feeling well on Sunday, after the wedding but I thought it was just because I hadn't slept enough (I must say I didn't have enough drinks that night to merit not feeling well for entirely other reasons). On Monday I was feeling worse, scratchy throat, stuffy nose and just sore all over. After a quick chat with my sister-in-law, I decided to not go to thanksgiving dinner at my in-laws. I don't want this story to be told to my nephew one day: "the first thing your auntie-Katri gave you, was a cold"

I'm right now in that annoying in-between stage. I'm not functioning at full capacity, but I'm not fully sick either. I do have a whole lot of things to do though, so I guess I'll try to get things done little by little...

Let's take a look at the mail from last week:

Outgoing

The first one is heading out to my lovely letters partner. The envelope is made from vintage dress pattern and embellished with washi tape printed to look like tape measures.

Then we have a letter with more washi tape and even more stamps

Finally, (can you guess it?) more washi tape. This time on a yellow envelope. Obviously this week was all about the masking tape...

First another beautiful piece of mail from Susanne. I love the envelope and the handwriting is always gorgeous. I almost didn't want to cover the address since it was so pretty. The letter was beautiful too, it was written in old-school ink.

And finally a letter from my favourite librarian. She used paper strips to add some interest to the front of the letter.

I have a whole lot of cool stuff to show you guys and I'm also preparing the first giveaway for the blog. Stay tuned for more paper awesomeness!

  1. Gorgeous mail! I love the simplicity of your yellow envelope, and of course the washi tape :-)

    1. Thank you! I think I already mentioned my weakness for washi tape, so I'm using it everywhere!
