A Halloween Zine
Here’s a zine I made for Halloween. I forget how much fun these are to make. It starts off a little scary deciding what to make each page, but I work with what I have (stickers, stamps, typewriter, washi, lists, ideas) and soon it comes together! Or, it doesn’t and I start over. Here’s a…

Read MoreNew Postcrossing Stamp
I sure hope the US one day soon adds a colorful, creative, whimsical Postcrossing stamp to their new stamp releases! On my wish list is to receive this stamp on an envelope from Germany.

Read MoreLeuchtturm 1917
Don’t you love this ice blue cover of the Leuchtturm 1917? The dotted pages are my favorite. Blank pages can be intimidating and lines pages can seem daunting. I buy all kinds of blank books and I look for a nice cover, smooth pages, good quality – just to name a few of my criteria.…

I joined Postcrossing in 2005 and since then have received and sent almost 450 postcards. I learned about Postcrossing postage stamps on their…
Read MoreHalloween Stamps
Halloween is a great time to send mail – cute cards and fun stamps! I recently received these five stamps from Errol Murphy in Texas who sells older/unused stamps at face value. He doesn’t always have certain ones on hand, but he tries to honor requests for specific stamps. These Classic Movie Monster stamps were…
Read MoreWriting Desk Fountain Pen Ink
I have fallen in love with this bottle of ink! I love everything about it – the bottle design, the color (brown), the box, but mostly, it’s the name of the ink I love – Writing Desk Fountain Pen Ink. Does that not invoke a call to writing? The ink was created by Ferris Wheel…
Read MoreErin Condren Sale
I love my Erin Condren planners which I have been using since I first discovered them in 2016 thanks to Michele B (website designer/host extraordinaire!). I have been perusing the EC website in anticipation of this annual sale deciding which planner will work for me in 2022. It was a tough choice and I ended…
