These pictures are from a vacation a year and a half ago. I had been meaning to write a blog post using them but never did. But looking at these pictures (in my draft file) got me thinking about a subject that writers often talk about. What is the source of your writing inspiration? If you are a letter writer, you are a writer. And letter writers, like book,or magazine writers, get into slumps. What do you do? Well, whenever there is a vacation planned, I take the opportunity to use that time to "recharge" . I try to reflect a bit and see what is new in my life or maybe what I have learned. Even a change of scene is invigorating! Maybe that will get you thinking in a new direction! Maybe it will slow you down enough to actually spend some quality time to write letters! Look at that view we had EVERY DAY! This was just a breath-taking view and plain awe-inspiring. If you are curious, this was in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It was a family vacation, and the house was HUGE! It slept something like 40 people, but we "only" had 27 of us, I believe. That included I think 11 or so grand kids, so just imagine Legos and all sorts of kid toys scattered everywhere on this carpet. Ha, ha, I swept them away temporarily for the purpose of this photo. :-)</div>

This was the summer that was just after the Pigeon Forge fire...literally 5 months. Up the treacherously steep and narrow road (which gave me a near panic attack--no kidding!) there were countless slabs of cement where recently stood majestic cabins. The above photo shows how the fire had nearly surrounded this house. This mountain top was just to the left of our house for the week. I wanted to shout, "HALOOOO" to our mountain neighbors....</div>

I took along my tea stash and literally just enjoyed sipping my tea and gazing at God's glorious creation. It's nearly impossible to see this site and not think about God and his goodness and mercies. I also took my mobile writing kit and did pen a few letters. What about you? What keeps you focused and writing?<br />

I have decided that I want to work on my (lack of ) watercolor skills! I thought simple projects would fit the bill....and so the humble postcard it is. I mainly get my ideas for watercolors from what's around me...or good ol' Pinterest! Until I learn the techniques...I will need to study other works and then go from there.<br />

These are my favorite from the last bunch that I did. I did spray them with a water color sealer. Warning: It takes a few weeks before the odor evaporates, These were painted on Cotton Arches and credit goes to Pinterest.</div>

I thought I would share with you some of the books that I find helpful for learning to sketch and watercolor techniques. This book is definitely a keeper! You won't waste a cent on this book. It's also a great primer on plein air painting as well. I am not in the practice of carrying around a sketchbook, or doing a "sketch-a-day" but I would love to start getting into that habit. What about you? Do you add watercolor or other medium to your snailmail? </div>

Hi EVERYONE!!!!! Just sharing a little bit of what I just sent out to all of my local yokel friends and family (stateside, not international!) I normally send postcards out to my international <a href="https://www.postcrossing.com/"> postcrossing </a>community...but instead I sent locally...why not? So, in addition to the "real" Christmas mail...my token family picture card...I thought I'd send out some fun stuff! YAY for me! :-)<br />

I thought I'd do a flat lay , so you could see the different stamps I used. Some of them are such cute vintage ones...that I hated saying goodbye to them. But, I do hope they bring a bit of a smile on the receiver's face! Some of the stamps are not Christmas stamps (like the West Virginia and Alabama. state stamps, and the traffic light!) , but have a prominent red and or green. </div>

I recently attended a wonderful card making workshop. This was open to all ages at my church and we had some that were as young as 3 and 4. I was stationed at this particular styled card. The more "advanced" card making was at a different table. We had so much fun, and the children did an amazing job! The cards were destined to be delivered to a local nursing home.</div>

One thing I wanted to share with you is the dual tip brush pen I found at the Dollar Tree which I saw on my last trip. They had a good supply with various colors but I only purchased one so I could "test it" and not waste money. I was hugely surprised! These are made from a Japanese company</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Marvy"...and let me tell you...they are MARVELOUS! They have a nice firm tip and are "juicy" so they allow for different levels of color. The marker tip is very fine and works well too. When I was at the check out, the cashier was gushing about the pen. He said he did calligraphy and they were great. I should have run back and swiped all of them, but I didn't. </div>

Needless to say, I went back and bought several more in various colors of what was left. Evidently the word got out about this product...I hope they get more in! Moral of the story...trust your Dollar Tree cashier...they know what they are talking about!</div>

This cute little Halloween Letter made it to me rather late because it was sent to my old address.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, because we live in the most efficient postal country in the world...it was delivered to me after a little visit at my former home in the country. Laura is a Pinterest folllower, and if my stats tell me ANYTHING....there are a lot of you out there! ;-) Laura is a calligrapher...and her work is beautiful! Thank you so much, Laura, I will be writing you soon!</div>

The beautiful autumn themed envelope was from my dear friend , Elaine! She is one of my super talented card making whizzes! I absolutely love to be on the receiving end of one of her beautiful cards. She has recently started selling her cards locally at a local book shop. She should do very well!<br />

Can <b>y'all</b> tell that I am getting ready to go to TEXAS? That means working on all my TEXAS lingo. And I am<b> ready and rarin' to go</b>! Hmmmm....that gets me thinking! I should get some penpals in the general area so I can do a penpal meet up with my Texan snailmail <b>lovin' </b>community! I am able to <b>wrangle</b> out a few letters from <b>kinfolk</b>...,but <b>bless their hearts</b>, its like they get <b>fixin to</b> write...but lose heart. Anyway...if any of you kind hearted Texan folk want to write me, leave a comment. Especially if you live in the Dallas, or Sherman area....I'd like that <b>more than you could shake a stick at!</b></div>
Oh, but back to my blog post. Above is my recent <a href="https://www.postcrossing.com/"> postcrossing</a> incoming. Two are not shown...they got left on a counter somehow. I love the stamps, and all the nice little notes. It really does make a sad mailbox happy to get all of these. So now, it is time for me to go on and get my next batch of addresses. I think I will be doing about 10 or 20 a month. The above picture gives you a hint of where I live! This was a record snowfall that we received here in the "gateway to the south"! It was great fun getting snowed in...drinking hot chocolate by the gallon, sitting by the fireplace...<br />

The trees are losing their leaves faster than I can rake them up, and I find myself drinking hot tea by the gallons... It's time to get out the paints and start dabbling away. First, I must caution you. I am a complete amateur, I really don't know what I am doing...but hey! Watercolor is a friend to all. I must warn you also, that trying to do any blending on regular paper is next to impossible. If you try your hand at watercolor (and I completely urge you to do so...) you might find yourself a bit frustrated because if you work on anything but watercolor paper you will have a big puddle of wavy paper. So, this is about the best I could do with the paper envelopes I had. I did find a<a href="https://www.thepapermillstore.com/strathmore-premium-pastelle-natural-white-envelopes-a7-square-flap-5-1-4-x-7-1-4-80-lb-text-felt-deckle-250-per-box.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAiarfBRASEiwAw1tYv0aRF-cq4Y5vdo0xjzY-x52iJvFuVv0edjaJOQLj9ehEpl6o6aaTAhoCCLEQAvD_BwE"> link </a>to watercolor envelopes, but they were outside of my budget for now. If anyone wants to go in halvsies let me know! :-) </div>

Is your mailbox sad these days? You peer into the metal box....only to find, ugh, junk mail? Well, one way to quickly make that sad little mail box happy again is to sign on to <a href="http://postcrossing.com/">postcrossing.com. </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Be sure to have your international postage on hand. I have been a member for awhile, although, with long dry spells. It doesn't matter, you can pick right back up again, anytime. I have 8 going out right now, all heading to Germany, Russia, and the good ol' USA. </div>

I had to go online (Amazon.com) to purchase some postcards as my stash is still somewhere in my moving boxes...I still have not found them, but these will do for now. So get busy and turn that sad little mailbox into a happy one!<br />

It's been almost a year ago that my "life event" occurred. My dear husband of 34 years passed away from an illness, and my life took a sudden turn. My charmed life of a wife, mother to 10 beautiful children and grandmother, now looked different. I was physically alone and making all the decisions. Facing challenges, duties, and mundane items that I never had to bother with prior to this event. Notice, I said "physically". I thank God that I serve a Lord that has promised to never leave me or forsake me.(Hebrews 13:5) But still...it has been a year of adjustments...change...and just struggle. But, slowly one learns what one must do and as <a href="https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/just-do-the-next-thing.html">Elisabeth Elliot</a> used to say just "Do the next thing..."! This simple advice has carried me through the long year and for that I am grateful. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So many of you have sent cards and letters of love and precious thoughts.....I have so appreciated this. I tried countless times to answer them...I did manage a few attempts, but I still have several letters that I wrote...never sent. Finally I submitted to my relegated season of life and focused my attention on the immediate, the necessary...life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I still face new challenges (who doesn't?). I now use youtube , not just for pleasure, but how to fix items around the house, and if that fails...I call a professional! But the sun still comes up, and I find myself falling peacefully into bed each night. Thank you Lord!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All this to say...I hope to get started with letter writing again. So, first things first...my desk! This is where it all happens, so I want my supplies at my finger tips...and whatever inspiration I can find. (More on that later-- it's still a work in progress) . So here is a picture (sorry it was taken at night) of my desk as it stands right now. Leave a comment below if you have any questions about my set up. Also, if you love your desk and find it to be a happy place for you, tell me why in a comment!</div>

I absolutely LOVED receiving this super creative , vintage postal themed envelope and long, chatty letter. This was from a pal I met at the DC Postal Meet Up, organized by Global Pen Pal! Carrie is a great creative talent in the snail mail community. You can follow her work on Instagram: </div>

Michele always sends such wonderful mail to me...I needed to get busy. As <a href="http://cappuccinoandartjournal.blogspot.com/">cappuccinoandartjournal</a> would tell us..."to get good mail, you gotta send good mail"! The pressure was on. The group from the " D.C. Postal Meet Up" are some serious mail artists. And here I am just doing my cutesie, crafty little thing over here in my corner of the world...but not these folks. They are into all their cool artistic techniques churning out mail nearly EVERY day. I'm slow folks. And the pressure was on. So this is what I came up with for Michele who sent me this GREAT mail pictured below...</div>

My son , Benji, went off to camp for a week this summer. I tried to find something that a teenage boy would not be too embarrassed to receive. I think I asked him weeks after he was home from camp (when I remembered to ask) if he ever received the letter... he said, "oh yeah, mom". Ha, I guess he appreciated it.<br />

Have fun with your outgoing mail...put a smile on the postal carrier's face!<br />

Everyone needs a crazy, wacky sister like mine. Oh, and to top it off, she is my identical TWIN sister. Of course that doesn't make me crazy or wacky....ha! This summer she came for a visit, taking the Amtrak down to my neck of the woods...Richmond , VA. When she came to town, I had already planned each and every day with something she hadn't already done in the Richmond and surrounding areas. We had a blast...and she was so sweet to send me a thank you card(s) with her very cool graphic art and watercolor.</div>

We had so much fun researching the type of coconut (4 layer originally) cake that my grandmother used to make --circa 1920's?. We had narrowed it down to about 8 different recipes online, and finally think that we found THE ONE! Here is the recipe we settled on: <a href="http://www.tasteofsouthern.com/mamas-fresh-coconut-cake/"><span style="color: blue;">Grandma's Coconut Cake</span></a>. It was amazing....and so much fun to make with Pat. Thanks, Pat, for taking over the grating of the coconut!</div>

Ah, then the interesting trip to Petersburg Virginia. Petersburg has a fantastic Civil War history and the city is amazing to visit...but be warned! Since the town has suffered almost total bankruptcy this past year , the tourism industry has been completely annihilated! First stop to the Visitor Center? Closed! Museums? Closed! The historic area is like a ghost town! One saving grace was our luncheon at the Dixie Restaurant! Great small town vibes, super friendly service, and we were told ahead of time about the heavenly "Spoon Bread" which was literally "to die for!" Great place, I highly recommend. Then it was on to the national battlefield to see the "Battle of the Crater"...my young uns that we took were not really impressed. I think you have to be an adult to appreciate this interesting bit of history. But, there too, the museum was CLOSED! Ugh, arrrrgh!</div>

Richmond, Virginia is home to one of the only two, URBAN level 5 white water rafting in the country! So off we went to try our hand at it! Ha, ha, the pictures are ACCURATE! We lost Pat and my son Benji on the first rapid into the water! We had to go into rescue mode immediately! Thankfully we all made it through the rapids without loss of limb or life! It was an experience of a lifetime. </div>

I was in Dollar Tree today and I happened to see the boxes of calendars for sale. I like making envelopes from calendars so I took a closer look. try to find pictures that have a small to repeating design, so that it will be able to be used on an envelope. Florals usually work well, and I have made some with landscapes. The problem with land scape calendars is that they are hard to get the center of the picture where you want it. I I liked what I saw so I picked up two.</div>

My smaller template for envelope making has been missing for some time, so I decided to make an envelope template out of this thin sheet of cardboard. I took an envelope size that I thought would work with the size of my calendar sheets, then opened it up to trace around the envelope.</div>

Since the envelopes are so flimsy, I decided to add a liner to the envelopes. Just use any paper that compliments the envelope's primary color. A.C. Moore carries the sturdier , thicker paper calendars for a dollar , but I haven't seen them out yet...check that store after the New Year.</div>

I absolutely adore Yapping Cat Studios! Cindy is an artist , using acrylics and water colors. Her work is amazing, and I am an undying fan! She recently posted this tiny acrylic book on her instagram feed: yappingcatstudio. (you won't regret following her for a daily does of inspiration!) I wanted it so badly...and you know....she actually sent it to me! Pinch me! Anyway, she of course wrapped it in a beautiful way and I just adore it. I have placed it on the top of my desk for inspiration! Thank you again, Cindy!</div>

I can't help myself!!! When sales happen, I just can't resist! Look at these beauties! I can't wait to start putting these to use! Washi tape just adds that certain little touch to any envelope or plain piece of paper. So if you are in a hurry and don't have time to make a flip book, or anything else. Get your Washi tape stash out and put it to good use!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I found this Royal Post decor at my JoAnn's at the beginning of the summer and couldn't resist. I attached it to my front door wreath, and I think it looks right at home on my 1920's Virginia farmhouse, what do you think?</span></div>

These are simple to make and just a fun way to use all those pretty papers and die cuts that you want to put to good use, right? I have folded the letter and put it into a cello bag. Why? I'm not sure. Just another little something to open up I suppose. Don't we like little packages? The possibilities are endless. I try to imagine the recipient and what joy it can bring to them, so I just try to make whatever I send out cheerful and fun. A gift.</div>

I guess this is my signature flip book style. I like it because it is a nice simple project...not overly involved, and something that I can approach without hesitation. I usually set aside time to make the skeleton's and then they are ready to decorate when I am ready or when inspiration strikes!</div>

Ha, ha, I love this rubber stamp! I know. Random. Do you have a collection of stationery, note cards? I am a huge stationery fan, and miss the days of wandering through the Japanese stationery shops in my youth. They were so interesting, fascinating and just a wonderland! This summer , I plan to make a few discovery ventures to the local stationery shops in my region. What summer plans do you have? </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the time it always starts with the envelope for me. I think making envelopes gets the creative juices going for me. When I am pleased with the envelope, then I sit down and write the letter. It isn't always that way but it seems to happen that way often. what about you? These are made using scrapbooking paper.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is another envelope that was not included in the above photos. I am getting a little more creative with my postal stamp placements, do you think? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello JO! Very over-due letter that went out last week, with a little intro page with my letter. I think this may be my first letter to Malaysia...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm still working my way out of the pile of letters ... I am still going at a pretty good pace. If you need to hear from me, just know that I am still working my way through.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Take care,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Snail Mailing!</span><br />
