In Germany it's the *Day of German Unity*, and the best thing about it is that it's a holiday. Not that it makes much difference for me since I retired, but it's nice long weekend for those who have to work.
Yesterday I woke up rather bad tempered after sleeping badly and having nightmares, so I worked like one possessed all day and got a lot done. Except for the H*******K, which is still patiently waiting its turn.
So what do I have to show you from my weekend labours? First of all, four altered notebooks, which will be winging their way to their recipients together with a few other little surprises when the post office opens again on Tuesday.
And here are the mail-art envelopes, made with a mixture of collage and stamping.
And I made some patchwork journal pages, just for the fun of it....
Well, I did do some more, but I think I had better keep the rest for another day.... But before I forget, Gisèle is doing a wonderful giveaway on her blog; click on the button on my sidebar or on the link and it will take you there!
Have a nice day you all, take care, and thanks for dropping by!
Yes, Gisele is having a wonderful giveaway!! How beautiful, isn't it? And I love seeing all your art here--I miss it on my blog because of the seminar, so this is such a treat, Val!!!!
