Scroll down past this one to sign up for April exchange
It is 6:33 a.m. I am up with the grandkids while their parents sleep a bit longer. Kids do not appreciate sleep. They are excited to get up because Nanna is here. Sadly, Nanna is just a guest and she can't break the rules.
First rant of the day -- Blogger is hiding ALL of the comments in the Spam. Grrr. However, Blogger is still free, so I can't complain too much.
Second rant of the day - not so much of a rant -- just a reminder to MsM who did not find all of her kid's names (or her own name) on the name day website - that anyone who needs a name day and does not find one on the website is authorized to set up their own name day. It would be fun to figure out some kind of formula for choosing the day.
Here is one method: Count up the number of letters in the name. If it is more than 12, divide by 2. That will give you the month. Then, could up the number of vowels and that will give you the day of the month. Voila, you have your name day.
Here is an envelope that I think is lovely:
Oh.My.Gosh.
I just went looking for a random image and found this:
We are too late to participate in a cal for entries for an exhibit on mail art.
Within the article is a link to the Smithsonian Postal Museum.
I have not figured out how to view the envelopes in the exhibit. If anyone can figure it out, please let me know. I have several envelopes in their permanent collection and would be very curious to know if any of them made the exhibit.

Nice rabbit hole (I'm guessing) as I do not have time to explore. Must prepare for day 3 of spring break with two kids who have previously experienced some wildly exciting trips - and staycations (even with Nanna) are a bit of a let down. Although, Nanna could make it more fun if they had an actual space where we could do messy art. <sigh>
