i have been musing about using less adhesive so i tried to do some cards with staples and old coffee bean bags from my friend brenda, owner of sauvie island coffee company. i also like the mixture of textures with the bags, corrugated cardboard, cardstock, and a clothespin.
this one has sparkly tissue paper as a heart along with staples holding down the oil cloth. i was having great fun and it was fun to put these together as they felt easy and simple and a bit thrown together.
this one has a metal washer with the word love on it, staples, hemp twine and corrugated cardboard. fun, fun, fun! send a card today!
another order from Designing Wahine in Maui! Yeahoooo! Aren't these vintage papers from Making Memories the best! go on, sing Wipeout - you're allowed!!
hope your day is filled with yummy things like smells from a great flower and breezes to soothe your soul. enjoy and write a card today! someone will enjoy it for sure!
missing our sweet girl but knowing she is up there with the other beloved dogs having the time of her life. sad monday in our household.

happy 45th wedding anniversary mom & dad! you look just as great today as in 1964!!!
i reconnected with friends from high school and grade school last weekend at the ol' 25th high school reunion and i was complaining that people didn't send cards anymore and my very fun friend kelly has graced my mailbox with two cards in the last week. this one totally made my day and i am so thrilled that she has proven me wrong!
tilley's sale was a blast! thanks to an amazing group of women, janet, heather, carolyn, mary, and kristy, i spent the weekend laughing, selling my cards and learning about antiques! what fun! special thanks to my mom for her antiques to help my display look great and fit right in with the surroundings! these cards are in an old metal dish drainer!
i asked people to type me a comment and i have some for future posts! people were very excited to use it and kids really got a kick out of it!
We celebrated Father's Day on the North Fork of the Crooked River and it was glorious.
my friend rachel sent me this via email and i think that i needed to post it in hopes that you write letters to your friends and tell them what YOU want for Christmas this year! this is from 1976 and it was the tri-fold stationery that came with matching stickers to close the letter. i am having a great laugh over this great email tonight from rachel. guess i have been writing letters for a long time and hoping that i have something more interesting to say these days! send a letter to your friends today!
i just bought the Farm Chicks book today and am thoroughly inspired to get back to basics so while md and his friend play in the mud pile, i picked peas, lettuce, spinach, berries, and flowers to grace my table. i'm enamored with the harvest this year.
i think we need to make strawberry shortcake tonight. hope you're enjoying your summer harvest as well.
this was my dream when i started this ... to have pictures of all my work hanging from the clothesline. it worked for these tags so maybe i'll revisit the idea. although these are christmas tags, they look pretty cool with the clothespins.
fresh flowers are always a great addition! love this time of year as there is an abundance at our house! enjoy!
ok, so not a great photographer lately but aren't these cute? if you were a bride or bride to be wouldn't you like to send these thank you cards?
although the picture doesn't do it justice, if i had the gumption to dye my own paper, i would pick this pink for sure. love the peonies!
display of boxed cards at my first farmer's market! didn't top the day for sales but super great people and an invitation to do another sale in june!
the full presentation of cards. i was right in back of the service memorial which seemed appropriate this weekend. send a card and make someone's day!
