Halloween Pocket Letter #3

Here's another Halloween Pocket Letter I'm sending out this week.

I find them a little challenging to photograph with the shiny pocket sleeves. 

Various pattern papers

Various print & cuts from the Silhouette library

Gems

These are fun and something different to work on in my craft room.

Have a spooktacular day!

Halloween Pocket Letter #2

Thanks for visiting with me today!

So excited to share another pocket letter with you.

Now, if you saw the one from yesterday, you are going to notice that the sent to pocket and the name pocket are on this one too. That's because I ended up using the one yesterday for someone else. I swapped out those 2 pockets with something different.

Here's the front... man I need to get some washi tape.

And here's the back.

The white coin envelopes have goodies inside - whatever the items are on the outside. So one has googlie eyes, and one has buttons, etc.

These are fun. I'm still not sure I'm doing them right. But I'm having fun and hopefully the person receiving these will enjoy them too.

See you tomorrow!

The start of BOO month!!

BOO!

Pocket Letter: Halloween #1

Welcome to a brand new week of your life. Make it a great one!

Today I'm going to share with you a pocket letter I made for a Facebook swap group. I haven't made but a few Pocket Letters, so I'm still trying to decide what's enough, what's too much, etc when I build one. Hopefully my swap partner will like this one.

Front

Several of the pockets have ribbon or twine wrapped around the inserts.

Tiny clothes pins

puffy stickers

die cuts

sticker sentiments

Back

The back has little goodies, info, letter, and short little tidbits of my day. I also included a date card for when this was mailed - from who - to who... And I looked up the meaning of the name of the lady I'm swapping with and wrote that definition and pronunciation on a little silhouette of a woman.

It's a little chunky for the envelope, so I added extra postage to it.

Hopefully, she will enjoy it.

If you are a pocket letter seasoned pro, please feel free to give me advice, tips, and tricks on how to make a great one. I wanted to add some washi tape to the part where the holes are for a binder, but low and behold, I have no washi tape. I know. Gasp, right? Just never gotten into that. But it seems I need to start a collection now for these.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Smiles!

Craft Room Chat

 Good morning! My craft room is upstairs now. 

//throw confettii//

It's not all organized yet, but at least I got almost everything up here. I love all the sunlight and having a big room to myself!

There is an area of the roof we need to repair on one side of the room, so until then, I can't push anything up against that wall. I'm using tables right now for desks, but Tom will be custom building me some desks and storage units / cubbies / etc eventually.

I'm going to share some pictures with you, but no judging! LOL I know it's a mess. You can't see inside the closet, but just picture it stuffed. :)

The walls are lavender and the ceiling is gray.

Tom sanded the floors and we sealed them with whatever stuff you use to do that on floors. LOL It's so cool to imagine that people have been walking on these floors since the 1890s. We just love this old, historic house.

Obviously the windows and trim aren't finished. But, we are working on things and hope to have it completed one day.

The cardboard in front of the fireplace is because we need to seal that so the wind doesn't blow grime and cover my crafty toys.

I put the doggie blanket down because Ginger & Mary Ann go back and forth from laying in my craft room to laying on the couch in Tom's office.

I had to put some stuffed animals on the mantel we bought in Alaska.

Thanks for indulging me in my excitement over getting the craft room upstairs. Hope everyone is well and has a really good day.

Hugs!

:) Janis

P. S. I'll post a card in a few minutes.

Shades of Blue

Yesterday, we started moving my craft room upstairs.

It looks like chaos!
