WW ... wednesday workday


so... i found a post about a cool lady, Jane Davies from
she is a postmaster and owns the cutest little post office that is 
pictured here and she is trying to keep it and save it, one 
postcard at a time. To read about her challenge...
go to her blog here

 this is the postcard that I sent her and I thought i would share it 
with you for workday wednesday...
I take old 33 rpm record albums and turn them into postcards. I have
 sent over 15 and they have all arrived without a problem. 

I usually start by painting over the label to make it
doodle worthy... This one i did in all white so that I could doodle 
right on top of it 
if you incorporate your stamps ( about $2 US postage ) ... then your design
works out alot better.


then on one side i write my letter and on the other side i add in the address.
I always add in a return address... but i have NEVER 
had one returned. Let's hope this one gets to Jane in good shape.
This is just a hint of the kind of things that we do durring
National Letter Writing Month.
Coming up in April. Email me if you 
want to be paired up with a pen pal for the funnest month of 
letter writing and going to the mailbox
that you will ever have.
Next... i want to share an egg that I made for my mom and dad's 
67th wedding anniversary... a bit more zen doodling
except this one is on a goose egg.

this is a bowl of eggs that I have done for them over the past oh,
about 30 years i would say.


the finished piece.... given to them on their 
67th wedding anniversary.
Until next Wednesday....

Weekley Wednesday Workday.... zen doodles....


Ok ladies and gents....
welcome to my first ever Wednesday Workday Turtorial.
can i get a whoot wooo?
It's on Zen Doodling.
I figured that since your project and challenge for the month was on Telling Me a Story, that I would take pitty on you and give you a little template ( she is at the bottom ).

Grab just a few tools and have at it!
You don't need much... a black pen, some white paper, a pencil, an eraser and shapes that you can trace from stencils or die cuts- or draw your own.


these two pages... if you CLICK on them, they will open in a file that you can then print out on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet to keep for your very own. so...
* i think i fixed the privacy problems, please let me know if these do not open now
sorry for the issues... it's my first attempt to do this.




then click here for this sweet little zen girl. I love her becuase she is filled with the lines in her skirt so that you can TELL ME A STORY, or you can use your doodles to fill in the lines. I am gonna make one too... so I will post mine when she is done. Try putting a fancier paper into your printer. I love printing on watercolor paper so that I can use watercolors when I color the whole piece in. Check out the TELL ME A STORY post so that you can enter that challenge. Next time... i hope to post a video for you to follow. Oooh goodie. Ok... Happy Wednesday.
