let's get the ball rolling - overcoming inertia...

There are so many photos in my phone & computers. Why is it so much harder to plug something in and push a few buttons and open the mailbox than to go to the store, fill out the little form, wait 2 weeks, go back to the store and pick them up and place in a shoebox?

So in the interest of technology - photos!

I made these Owl ATCs for a postcrossing RR

Then I took my daughter roller skating and decided that owls like to roller skate, too!

I saw this mural by Dock 3 in Akron, Ohio.  Why aren't there more murals in the world?  Every time someone builds a crappy strip mall, they should have to agree to decorate it with a mural when it fails...

The Pursuits to Which We Commit Ourselves...

Well, it's gotten to the point where I have to make a blog to start yapping about myself.  It seems like yesterday I got my 1st Tracfone.  So I think the point of this thing will be how I've stumbled upon art journals, mixed media, postcrossing, letterboxing, & mail art. I'm trying to make sense of why this stuff means something to me and why I need to make stuff and send stuff and get cool mail from strangers. I still like touching paper better than using the laptop, but there you have it.
