Envelope 796 to Patrick

I sent this one ages ago, and neglected to blog it.

Paradise will be a kind of library

A calendar page sent as a postcard to Eva earlier in the year.

I forgot to scan it before mailing it, so head over to Eva's blog to see the stamps I used.

Eric Mondays part 30 - collage

I sent four collaged cards out that were related. See if you can spot which one was sent to Eric.

20th century inventions for Sunday Stamps

Pick up trucks, born in 1931. This stamp shows the 1938 International Harvester D-2.

The electric guitar, courtesy of Jimi Hendrix's stamp. Weirdly, as far as I can find, the first one was designed in 1931.

And Batman, first appearing in comics in 1939.

The day after the scariest day of the year...

...a Halloween card from Adrienne that didn't quite arrive in time for Halloween.

With some more of the wonderful Haunted Canada stamps.

The scariest day of the year...

Yes, even scarier than Halloween, it's the day after Thanksgiving in the US, a day when the whole country takes on characteristics of a zombie apocalypse.

So in honor of the day, here's a scary Halloween bonus envelope that went out to Rachael.

Orange is a difficult color...

... but Eric made it work! Look at these fantastic anime stamps... I also like the vintage Marianne stamps where she seems to be blossoming like a flower.

And even more fun, it is made from a French department store paper bag.

If you're in the US - Happy Thanksgiving!
