Comment: Ooooooh this envelope is wonderful! Thank you for all the amazing vintage treasures, I will certainly (hoard), I mean, ENJOY using them :))) Yes, I think we are sympatico art-y people, I actually did join fodder school #2 and it's great although I wish I had more time to actually do many of the projects......that darn job...takes so much of my creative time....but I do watch most of the videos and try bits and pieces if not the full project when I have time. PS, your handwriting is so pretty.

Comment: Hi Shelley! I loved your letter and your enclosures (pcs) are awesome! Thanks so much for the wonderful Happy Mail! I am currently reading Verity by Colleen Hoover - it was listed in a FB group, so I thought I needed to catch up! LOL! Really Colleen Hoover's books were listed a bunch of times, so... I have not read her books before, so giving it a try! I do love our library - really most libraries that I have visited, as each one has it's own special thing going on! I am currently in three book clubs, one at my local library, one at a little tiny library about 15 miles away, and one at a local church, they are lunch gals as well, so lots of fun! I have a ton of books as well, my hubby wants me to either thrift them, give them to friends or sell them - sigh! I love my books but really don't have a great place to display them and I am working on decluttering this year, so... How wonderful that you have a place to display them! I also have to pay to have a library card, but like you, my hubby thinks it is well worth the money for me to borrow books! LOL! I currently have 10 books, magazines, and playaways (a book on something like an MP3 player) out and have a ton more on order! So thankful for our library!! All the best! Hugs, Happy Swapping, and Reading! ;)

There are a few ppl I want to get back in touch with, you being one of them. I think I will work on a letter soon :) Thank you for the extra bits and bobs. I'll add them to my own hoard and we can craft and craft and guesstimate just how long Google will march on without us! <3
Response: I’ll go wait by the mailbox!! Just kidding - take whatever time it takes and I’ll be here when you’re ready. It would be awesome to hear from you!! 🥰

Response: I bought an old ledger journal that had been turned into a scrapbook, containing newspaper articles for an incredible array of world-wide events. There was a little stack of those postcards buried inside! It was just a lucky find - I had no idea I was getting those with the book when I ordered it on ebay!

Can’t tell you how many times I was reading and just thought “YESSSSS I FEEL YOU!” Well except for chicken alfredo, I’m much more of a red sauce kinda gal. Also, I may have ran my hands over the crinkly paper a few times myself because it feels so cool (I write really heavy and do that to all my papers so it’s nice to be on the receiving end 🤪). The notecards you sent were perfect, thank you for including!! And....don’t forget to talk to Neil about those 3D printed bookbinding/cutting rulers.

Response: Thank you so much! I was hoping you would just trim off one of the short ends... that's what I've done in the past with envelopes that have tape on the edges. But next time I'll be more careful... thanks for the feedback!

Comment: what an awesome card! I love every inch of it, such a delightful treasure. I'd reblog it on Tumblr in a milsec if it showed up on my dashboard. haha. Yes, we do have toilet seats, although we use the European style toilets which lets you examine the result before flushing down. My American flatmate jokes a lot about it, especially after I returned from NYC and I detailed her how shocked I was with that lake I had to sit over. I actually tried avoiding to use it for as long as possible, because I was afraid it might feel like making a cup of tea or it splash back and waters the rose...

Comment: Your letter was so warm and touching, it made me feel like we knew each other before. Yes, it is so unforgiving for quilters to sew paper, but I LOVE it. And I don't like quilting so much. I admire the results, but I am not able to do it,I am afraid. Something inside me wants to go in another direction than required for the perfect quilt. Maybe it's lack of skill, I like to think it's creativity calling. Your envelope and its contents are just perfect, very thoughtful. Thank you many 💙💜💛❤💚💕

Comment: I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you sent! All of the tissue is awesome, but the one with all the vintage images is too die for! I looked up all the illustrators you mentioned, and I loved them. My favorites were the Brothers Hilts, and Oliver Jeffers I believe. I do think I may have to include some of their art in my journal! To answer your question, I use other people illustrations and pieces of the story they are from to create the pages. I can not draw at all, but I have a creative mind, and love to collect things that make me happy. I adore the whimsical nature in children's book illustrations thus decided to create a journal filled with them!

I think you'll be just fine but should consider sending the daughter to boarding school. And I like hedgehogs as well as dogs but I'm not sure I could justify cancer surgery. My friends just got their four year old daughter a pet hedgehog, super cute but no wiener dog 🐶. Have a great week, Nathan

Comment: Thanks for the great letter and bookmark with cool packaging 😊 The end of the letter with the pet mishaps was so funny 😂 I was going to die. I glad I wasn't the responsible adult having to deal with the aftermath. I took a quick basic free test and it said I was ISTJ. Seemed pretty accurate with the possible exception of responsible. I would say I'm pretty responsible but when I went out shopping with a friend yesterday, her four year old daughter asked to stay next to me in a store full of breakable antiqued but she said that wasn't a good idea as I wasn't a responsible adult. 🙁 My New Years resolutions of actually going on a date this year (hasn't happened the last couple years) and getting outside more have gone nowhere so far but it's still early. Hopefully you are doing better with yours. Anyways, have a great week, Nathan ❤🐶

Comment: Hi Shelley! LOVED your stream of consciousness letter. Understood what you had to say and yes it is all ok and accepted by me! Loved the Danielle Porte card that you included! I know of this woman. Anything that can make us stop to contemplate the deeper questions is worth looking into and spending some time there. Or at least that is what i have found in my own journey. Yes there is no money given for this kind of dredging down in the dark places but soo worth it! Keep up your writing and always keep it for you where it keeps free and honest. Thank you for sharing as this is good material and develop those gifts you shared. They are important gifts. if you ever want to correspond about this kind of stuff and bounce some ideas off ill be someone you can talk to. You made my day receiving your letter!
Response: Thanks so much for the encouragement! It put a smile on my face this morning. : )

This was all the more hilarious as earlier this evening I tried to "ration" my son's "treats". I swear his mouth turns into a vacuum when the lights go out. Yes, please do write. I think we have lots to laugh at. And then it brings me to your swap.... isn't it kind of strange how we are so similar? Right down to our favourite thrift shops. If you don't write me, I will most definitely be sending one your way. See you in the post!

Comment: I love your letters :) So, how about this for an idea to keep you busy on your last week before Concussion Patrol Duty? Build a Tiny House for each child! I was reading about a 12-year-old who over 2 years built her own backyard tiny house (with help) and then lived in it for weeks on end starting at age 14. Sounds like a win-win to me :) Of course, I think that she lived in Australia and only had to deal with poisonous snakes, spiders, and cane toads and not Manitoba winters, which, as we know, are deadlier than Mans o' War or whatever the plural is for killer jellyfish. Good luck with the football, and remember Canada Pride -- the Canuks developed all the cool trauma rules -- Canadian CT and C-spine rules, Ottawa ankle rules ... credit Hockey Night!
Response: OMG I totally want to build a mini house for my kids to go hang out in. We don't have a basement or anything, and they are around WAY too much. Heh.

Comment: Shelley--your journal is wonderful! I loved reading through it immediately. You did such a great job of honestly addressing your worst challenges and giving yourself credit for your strengths and successes. And you have your ups and downs which all makes it seem real and not some "pie in the sky" expert who never eats anything except carrots and celery in public but is never seen in real life fighting off a craving for ice cream! Your journal definitely inspired me to keep on going even when I don't seem to be making significant progress. I am working with a personal training once a week and doing the exercises on the weight machines he's taught me to use at least four other times a week and put in at least 3 miles on the bicycle every time I work out. The scale is stuck and I know my muscles are stronger, but no big changes in clothes size. I need ed the inspiration your journal provided! Thanks very much!

Comment: While I totally think you should read some John Green ('cause he's only my favorite writer) I totally understand wanting to let some things happen organically. Congrats on tackling the soda habit (my last soda was 14 years ago; totally worth it). And progress on other goals. Well done, you! Keep up the good work :-)

Comment: Thanks for sharing. Your sense of humor gets me every time. Good job keeping up with a few of your goals even with being so busy. And congratulations on beating that coke (soda) habit - I've been there and know how tough that really is. And you've inspired me to be more diligent about attacking my coffee habit (it's not one of my 101 goals but I have two spaces left so maybe it should be.)

After I order the ones I want from my library I am going to send your log down to my daughter as I am sure she will enjoy it as well. The heart is for your writing, not the extras which I also enjoyed. It took me a little while to open one of the envelopes because i was trying so hard not to rip the washing tape that closed it! Success! Thanks again for your thoughtfulness and your great reviews. I hope I get you again for the next quarter!

Comment: Your letter came and as Iooked at the envelope I thought "This looks like Shelley!" And... it was. :) I don't blame you for copying the picture... too cute. Thank you, and the papers are SUPERcool. :) And the stickers... ten hearts, if tags were hearted. I love them. How do you make them?
Response: I'll tell you but DON'T TELL ANYONE. I make up the labels on the computer, print them out on my colour laser printer (at work, moi haha) on full-sheet label sheets, then cut them out verrrrrrry carefully with my sharpest scissors. Voila! (And glad you liked them!)

I sat in the shade of a bradford pear tree, sipping on a chocolate milkshake while I read all your entries! I laughed and ranted right along with you! I remember those small-kid-under-foot days all too well. (Oh, and the invisible husband too!) lol I hope when you get this one back you'll enjoy rereading it (esp'ly the bit about the "crap of thunder." (Thought I'd choke when I read that!! :) PS: What you did with the envelope! it's going to get FRAMED !! :)
Response: Thanks so much for your kind words! I'd love to do a one-on-one - just let me know what you had in mind... This could be fun!
