swap-bot quotecard

Karla from Georgia sent me a quilt postcard!!! This is definitely one of my favorites!

I told her I'd send her a photo of my first amigurumi since she encouraged me to try it :)

Her quote was a "Star Quote" cut out from a magazine:

"Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don't text a guy back for a half-hour, he'll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love." - Taylor Swift

100 ideas

I absolutely love Keri Smith's book Wreck this journal:

Here's mine:

(it's pretty raggedy)

what does this have to do with this blog? Well, here's one reason:

(when i'm done, I'll tape it shut and mail it to myself)

And here's another reason:

Page 89 - I must remember to do this!

(Instruction #4: Instructions are open to interpretation. My plan was to steal fruit stickers, but it turns out that we get enough of them at home. Plus, I thought I was being funny)

Success.

I sprayed this page with my favorite perfume: Michael Kors. So now the entire journal smells fantastic :)

So what made me think to post about wreck this journal? Looking through my snail mail blogs, I came across This 100 Ideas post from theyearthepumpkinsarrivedlate. Turns out, it's by the same woman, Keri Smith! I thought, what a wonderful idea! But I am terrible at keeping a journal. So what if I turned this into inspiration for snail mail? Sort of like the mailtag that Erin sent me. Voila! Inspiration!

Puzzletter

I love finding new ideas on the interwebs. Here is a lovely idea I got from Laura over at Please Deliver To. She received a puzzletter. What on earth is THAT?!? Well, here are her photos:

Buy or make a puzzle, and write a letter on the back while it is still together. Then, break it apart and send it. They have to put the puzzle together to see what you wrote! How neat is that?
