Got in the mood to make some cards

Another simple 3D Christmas card

And a random card for when I need it 

The forever friends designs came with "PaperCraft inspirations" Christmas 2010

The blank cards from Zeeman

Some arts & crafts

A few weeks ago I made a Pinterest account.

I see lots of pretty things, interesting things, 

but lots of useful things... no (not yet?).

Some of the ideas I already 

made use of though. Here they are... 

Simple mail art

And the first Christmas card of the year!  

Postcard from Ukraine

 The last postcard of the week is a nice card from Ukraine. 

The girl is wearing a headpiece inspired by the Ukrainian wreath or vinok.

And a surprise envelope from Singapore.

I can't read the name and there is no return address

but thank you very much! 

Tea swap from an angel

Because I got flaked by one of the senders from a tea swap,

Lianne was so kind to angel for me. 

As you can see the envelope arrived in a "sorry your mail got damaged" bag.

The sides of the envelope were open and the back was torn...

But! as you can see, tea and note arrived safely.
