Spending the day shooting and listing a few new Etsy items. 

It's been awhile : ) 

                                             

Pre-Spring Cleaning Panorama

recycled mail scrabook/cardmaking/stationary paper

I bet you've thrown away like 

50 pieces of this cute stuff this month. 

I can't throw away cute paper

I have tried

but I am getting better 

at making useful 

projects from the 

cute old paper

for example this collection of recycled 

card-making/scrapbooking/stationary paper

made completely from old mail

I have one (10 piece) set of assorted 6in x 6in paper

Four (10 piece) sets of 4in x 4in paper

and one (16 piece) set of assorted sizes and patterns

the 4in x 4in sets are up on etsy

I will be listing the rest of the collection soon

hope you love cute paper as much as I do

now go make someone you love 

an adorable handwritten card

I promise it will change their day!

7/26/13 UPDATE!!!

Just got a note back from someone who bought some of my recycled envelope stationary and this is what it became!

staying creative...

Some days I want to study.... 

Some days I just want to stitch together 

little paper and bead flowers...

Check out my Etsy shop! 

More listings to come!

I am so not there yet but someday I want to make it to one of their classes...

I'm a little sad this was the first Catholic Church I've ever been to

Adventures

The picture below is to accompany this post by Sam Bunting. Read on.

A couple weeks ago we were at D'mongo's while they were still set up to shoot Transformers 3. That bar naturally overflows into the street which was completely destroyed for the movie. It was great.

Meanwhile, inside. I love this picture. It really captures the feel of D'mongo's and I am pretty certain that is my roommate Angela sitting down to sing with the house piano master.





This is Eric and Caroline, Couchsurfers from Chicago who stayed with us that weekend. I liked them.

Here are some shots from Rainbow Blight at the Imagination Station.
Probably one of the most textually astonishing things I have seen in my life.



This is the pretty piece Sam made from our spoils.




This is the only dog in the world that I don't hate. Amanda's friend Nigel was the life of the party at the Slow's 5th Anniversary party. Overheard, "Look at that dog's cute jacket, it has pockets and toggles" "We'll tag him in the picture" and the best "Amanda, I saw your dog out at a party last week."


No big deal... I just live on the most beautiful street in the world. View of our street from the 5th floor of the Willys Overland Lofts. I was there for a lecture on Detroit's Urban Landscape.
