My Dad used to take me to carnivals--they always frightened me a little bit but his presence beside me was total safety. Here's Kathy's take on the theme! The two-headed skeleton lives on my fridge now!…

This is just simply very lovely. Thanks, Ariel! She also sends it in a washi-intensive envelope, and includes a little bit of the washi for my use later! I can always use washi!…

The self-proclaimed "Old Library Man" sends this really fun envelope, with a design that continues onto the back. Very clever! Thanks, Michael!…

Melissa sent me this poignant picture of an old closed up IGA grocery and the note on the back explains why it's a "favorite place" for her. I didn't think she'd mind if I shared her story.…

I've just received a great postcard from "Amalgamated Confusion". Don't be confused by the text because as you can see, pulchritude is not what one get from the post service :)

A real container for my popcorn,…

Anna is flying high with her Banana show and travelling to unknown parts of the world.  Well OK, maybe the Pratt is not considered unknown.  And look at…

Sheri Rice gets political.
