Meant to post the photo of these envelopes sooner but I forgot until last night when the internet was down. lol

December Envelope Exchange
Signed up for the 3×3 envelope exchange at SACG for December through February. I was afraid to do a longer one or later one since we’re hoping to get our son in the Spring.
These I did with a white gel pen and colored pencils for the drawings. I tried to keep with the theme of the stamp for the drawings.
End of Secret Pal Exchange
The Secret Pal exchange finished up last Thursday with a get together during the San Antonio Calligraphy Guild meeting. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend but did send the things I received on to be displayed with a Thank You card for the creator of the lovely things that were sent to me at the meeting. Right now, I still don’t know who that person was but I will find out at the next meeting in October when I pick up everything I sent.
The week before, I sent out the last greeting to my pal.
Overall, the exchange was fun. I enjoyed making things within set guidelines for someone else trying out or practicing techniques. If I have the time, I’d definitely do it again!
Gothic lettering
Another secret pal greeting went out today. I believe I skipped posting a couple because I forgot to take photos. This time I remembered to take one before I sealed the envelope except I ended up mounting the mini art on a metallic brown paper too. Must be loosing my memory. lol More colored pencil work and this time some italicized gothic for the art quote.
Framed!
Last weekend I picked up the pastel bird I brought to Michael’s to get framed a couple of weeks ago and hung it up in the second bathroom near the shower. I was very happy with how the custom framing turned out. Three mats really make it look finished.
