A double dose of Hester

Really interesting mail from Hester - newspaper on cardboard.

And this one was made from a wrapping that the library used to entice readers to have a blind date with a book, the only clue is the genre. Got to love the vintage Alexander Calder stamps.

You're just my type

I've been saving this one since February.... thanks, Rachael!

February exchange envelopes received

This lovely hand made envelope from Amy has wonderful vintage postage and got amazing cancels at the post office. Unfortunately, one of the postal machines must have thought the same thing, as there is a little bit nibbled away.

I love the way Carol C extended my surname onto the back. Clever!

Rehj played around with the computer to get a quilled effect on the letters to match the quilled heart stamp.

A classic  beauty from Lynne S.

I am saving the fifth envelope for later in the year - thanks, Rachael!

February exchange envelopes sent

I've had these stamps for quite some time, considering they were issued in 2010. I really wanted to like them, but they didn't inspire me at all. Then I received this beautiful painted envelope from Janet in 2014.

This made me realize that the stamps just needed the right backdrop in order to shine. I saw this image on the front of a free magazine.

And the whole set.
