Inspired by my recent attempt to beautify truly local space, not just Baltimore city, I went to the park in my neighborhood. It's the same park that I would go to to do lots of my Finish This Book activities. It's also the park that I played on as a child when my dad...
Even though I'm still behind, I have stuff to show! I checked my box once last week and I have some outgoing as well. 🙂 I appreciate all the mail I receive. Incoming inside that flower envelope was a birthday present from JoAnna -- look at this glittery clutch! (and...
Very close to my house, is a fountain that I used to play in as a kid. I think it's one of the few beautiful things in my city (which is why I very much wish I lived in Baltimore).Over the years the area has transformed and now it's home to one of the community...
I crossed off another thing from my goal list! Yay!I've had these edible eye-shaped cake decorations for a long time now, and I really wanted to put them on cookies. If you know me, you know that I am absolutely horrible at cooking, baking, and anything in the...

I thought that a good way to use some of my postcards would be to incorporate them into an interactive installation. I bought a roll of 33 cent (postcard postage) stamps, stuck my address in the "to" section, and left a tin full of postcards and pens outside. I really...
Hey everyone! I hope you had a great (long?) weekend. Here are some recent bits of mail coming and going. I'm still not even halfway caught up, but I'm trying! I hope you can bear with me. Outgoing (pog winners) (birthday thank you notes) Incoming (look at those cat...
About two weeks ago, I turned 25, and I started a new goal list. I'm excited to report that I've already crossed off one of the things on my list. A hot air balloon ride!! I love all types of balloons, and I always have. The aesthetics of a hot air balloon have always...
This project came to me in two different ideas, which I combined into one. Months ago, I obtained a pad of sticky notes shaped like light bulbs. I believe that Karen sent them to me in a care package, but it really has been so long that I don't remember. I always had...
