I had more fun coming up with ideas to make the tags I think. At first I had stuff on just one side of the tags and then i added to the other. The black is ink. The instructions Donna gave sure looked easier than it was to use the ink. Either that or I'm just not any good at inking things. I think I will definitely do this again but without the ink next time. Maybe I'll try adding paint to the edges of the paper and envelopes. Any way I had fun with this, and recycled, and used up some themed scrapbook papers and stickers I had just laying there, calling to me. Ever have that feeling; your stash of crafting stuff is calling to you? :-)
I received a very special package in the mail recently myself. I bought a pack of postcards from Jessica of vol.25. She is a stay at home mom and an artist. I love her drawings and designs. She has a great little etsy shop too. She is running a special on post card packs this month and is including extra cards in the packs too. 
The backs are blank so they could be used for other things besides postcards. I just mailed one to Finland and one to Texas through postcrossings. Isn't this just the cutest image? If you haven't seen her designs before do stop by Jessica's blog and etsy shop. She has two adorable little girls and is a wonderful artist.
I must sign off now. Frankie is needing attention again. That little cat gets into everything.
See what I mean!!

Hi Tess! I love the tag book you made for your mom out of recycled envelopes! It is sooooo cool! :-)
This is a wonderful and creative book. Darling! I will have to check out the video. How is Bobbie? Hope she is recovering well!
Hi all, Thanks for the wonderful comments. Martha, Bobbie is doing well. Taking it one day at a time. They say her med levels (lab tests) are good. She has an almost constant shadow in her child and a good friend. She's conquered walking wiothout a cane and has had few bouts of headaches. Thanks for asking about her, it means a lot.
