If I can make someone smile or perhaps get a smile on MY face when I open my mailbox (which not one day goes by that I don't HOPE to find something FUN popping out of my mailbox) then I think I've done my job and tried to make the world is a BETTER place by making just one person happy! Addresses are sometimes altered for protection so the overall visual of the envelope may or may not be the way it was.

May 2017

These flowers were made with a triangle brush, which I just discovered
the diversity of it and what it can actually do!

This was also made with the triangle brush




This one is NOT mine!  Martha Rasco made it for me.
Tutorial from PostmansKnock blog.

March 2017






Took a water color class online and had to practice some
of my flowers. They made nice additions to cards and envies!

April 2017

Yes... I draw guidelines on dark paper and I
see that I didn't erase them before I took the picture.








February 2017





This was my return address "Label",
of course, hand lettered!

January 2017 birthdays!

Inside of a card that I hand created when I was making paste paper.
I needed to wipe off my brush and this was the result. I liked it!

Birthday card for cousin, Jay.  I remember when he was just a baby.
NOW, he's 31.  How can that be?

Our friend LOVES Trish Trash and sometimes gets lonely in Alaska.
I thought I would surprise him this hand made card (background)

A homemade birthday card for my friend, Monica!

Fun card created for my "namesake". This is the front of the card and envelope

This is the back of the card!!! It was cut from an old Calendar Page!  
I love to reuse and recycle!


I had fun making my return address FLOURISH!
