Scrap Travel Card

Still using up scraps and bits. I made another envelope out of an old map to go with this card. It has a more masculine feel to it.

Not a great week health wise, and though I knew in my mind this would probably happen, nonetheless it's rather discouraging. It did help a lot to get 3 packages in the mail, 2 of fun supplies I ordered and a lovely Scrumbles named Nonie. She was made by Mary Jo Oxrieder, who is an artist living in Washington state. I've also purchased Trevor the Fish from Mary Jo a few weeks ago, and he is a bright spot hanging in my studio. Mary Jo is also a friend, and I would encourage you to view her Flickr page and her website. She does such whimsical paintings and all of kinds of other lovelies! 

It's a lovely clear day with a strong breeze from the North, a great way to begin October. And regardless of how I feel right now, I am STILL better off than I was last year!!

  4. Im so glad you are feeling better than you did last year. Being in such a beautiful place just has to help right?!
    Your use of your scraps is great. Since I've started working on my discovery journal I can't seem to throw away any scrap bit of paper! I'm afraid I'm going to end up with tons of it just like I have with fabric scraps! You just don't know..you will use those pieces on something right!
    Take care.

Keith and I were in Travelers Rest in June, we wish we knew you were there, we would love to see you. I saw Schaffer's facebook page. Sounds like he's been a challenge, hope he's OK. Tell John hello for us. We'd love to hear from you. lmhjohnson@hotmail.com
