5.22.11 ... a sweet recycled packaging idea

Img_7321

i found this giant texas wall map at a thrift store. it is laminated and cost me next to nothing so i decided to take it to see if i could use it as an envelope for large items. and i sold some vintage sheet music and this worked out perfectly. what i didn't count on, but am especially thrilled with, is that because of the laminate, the package creates an air pocket - since it doesn't fold perfectly flat. so this is wonderful because it protects the contents even better without any extra material , time or effort. i will be using the rest of this map with enthusiasm. now i have to keep an eye out for more. i created this on friday but i saved the photo for today. i did some mending but think this is a much more interesting creation to share with you - as much as i do love my mending. you know i have a thing for it. 

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

James Q Superior

Just a little something I created this afternoon. We finally had a gorgeous day here in Austin and went down to walk by the lake for our first time so I was short on time for my TaD. I love maps and collage and combined the two here. I named it James Q Superior. Couldn't resist. I hope everyone is well this evening and enjoying life. Until tomorrow...

It's a great day for America, everybody. Yes it is.

Something Out of Nothing ... BookMark


Charlie Brown & Woodstock Think Cool


I made this out of a bank statement insert & a vintage illustration from one of the Charlie Brown Super Books of Questions & Answers. Do you remember those? They are so great. I love that our bank ~ local is the only way to go ~ is named FROST in Texas. Of course, I am partial to snowflakes, but that's another story. :) Since you can only see but a glimpse of the snowflake symbol, click HERE to view it in full.
And, seriously, look at their pretty insert.


From one sweltering friend to another...

I made this for my friend in Sierra Vista AZ this summer. Now she has moved. Maybe this will remind her of what she left behind and won't miss. Or perhaps warm her up come January in Colorado.

Until next time...
