Seventeen months ago when I started this blog and began corresponding with new letter friends discipline was a struggle for me. I found that as simple as letter writing is, it takes discipline as does any other simple thing like brushing my hair every morning. Seventeen months later, writing daily is a struggle. To make the challenge greater I've been spread thin lately because I took an opportunity to earn some Christmas money. Home and fun things have suffered as a consequence. i won't post a picture of the piles of laundry but I will post some pictures of things that have tickled me lately. I have no grand thoughts to offer you, I just want to resume the things I enjoy (posting on this blog and writing letters) for a few minutes. Perhaps it will make me feel more balanced and help me through the next couple weeks. So I'll post some things that have given me pleasure recently. ![]() The first two pictures came from Kathleen. The first stamp says, "SNAIL MAIL It might be a little slow, but it's well worth the wait!" Love it! I like the frogs too :o) The second stamp says, "AIR MAIL This is for a very important person. Please deliver it quickly." The above image is from Jan who also likes flex nibs. I'm afraid I got a drop of water on "Mrs." She also used a Gregory Peck stamp, something on my stamp wish list. He'll look great on my gray Original Crown Mill envelopes. I have a few left but don't know where to get more now that Swisher Pens has closed. If anybody knows, let me know! That's all for now and I hope to catch up on my letter writing SOON.

So glad you liked the stamps Sonja. They are from a company named Catslife Press in the US and have a fantastic catalogue of stamps to choose from. Here is a link: http://www.catslifepress.com/catalog/airmail.htm

Sorry the ink ran a bit. I really need to buy more Noodler's bulletproof ink, especially now that our rainy season has arrived.

Hi Jan! I thought your ink looked like Noodler's Ottoman Azure, one of my favorites in my Namiki Falcon semi flex. I'm a fan of Nodler's bulletproof inks though I don't always use them for envelopes. Smeared ink isn't the end of the world unless the mail carrier delivers in a storm :o)
