Thanks to Dana at The Closet Confessional for inspiring me to get back on the blogroll! 

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!

Getting organized, next step lighting.

We've cleaned, we've painted and now it's time to get organized.
Angela had this cute mail organizer thing.
I found some of that old paper for teaching kids how to write.
I pulled out my best cursive for the event.

With all the new paint I can't stop looking at how bad ALL the light fixtures are in this home. I think tomorrow I will post a few of the worst! Here are some of my favorite fixtures. I can't wait to find/make cheaper versions of them.

I am also kind of thinking about painting our living room ceiling black/dark, dark gray and hanging strings of lights across the top.
I need to think about that a little longer but wouldn't that be awesome!?
