I Heart Mail Art

I've always been a bit of a crafty gal, and so when I discovered the wonderfully, quirky world of mail art a few years back -- I was easily hooked.

I simply can't send a blank, white envelope to anyone...not even lousy bill collectors.
I've spent hours decorating envelopes I know most people wouldn't appreciate, but I can't help it. Blank canvases bug the heck out of me -- just like white walls and empty desks.

So in case you feel the same way I do, take a look at my mail art section on Grrl.com
here. I have all kinds of crazy rubberstamps too (or as the pros call them non-cute stamps) of everything from women cleaning toilets to me dressed as a squirrel!

Who knows, maybe you'll find that envelopes are worthy of your self-expression as well.

What Have You Done...?

Taking a cue from starfuck...

How it works: Copy and paste it, then bold everything that you've done.
Add a couple things of your own to the end.

Spooky, Scary Nightmares

Last night I had a weird nightmare where a giant orange spider (the size a bowling ball) fell from the ceiling and landed ontop of my comforter with me underneath!!!!

I woke up so scared I literally jumped out of bed and scrambled for the lightswitch, thinking the spider was real. As I rubbed my eyes in the blinding light, I realized I had dreamt it all and that there was nothing on my bed.

I was pretty shaken the rest of the evening.

I wonder if it was all due to the extra horseradish I had in my Bloody Mary at Dan's B-day gathering at the Latin. I've heard spicy food can cause nightmares, so maybe that was it.

All I know is that lately I've been woken up by really odd stuff. During my hectic stay at my dad's house over Thanksgiving, I woke up from as sound sleep when I heard some child's voice whisper loudly in my ear, "Get up now, Bonnie!" And opened my eyes instantly -- seriously spooked.

When was the last time a nightmare was so belivable that you woke up thinking it was real? Please share so I don't feel like I'm going completely nutters.
