It's too bad this one has been crumpled. At least it did not get eaten up entirely. I love the colors on both and the lettering is so nice. Leslie knows how to warm up so that she can get really good gestural lettering.
Then - because she's so nice to remember that MrWilson likes mail, too - she came up with a very clever idea. I'm having my deja vu that I already ran this one. But, I think there is only one more post to fill before I can declare that the new system is installed - and all the confusion and chaos is behind us.
Was MrWilson a little spooked when this arrived? Yes - just a tiny bit. He didn't bring it up on his own - but when I asked him if he had been a little spooked - he said "Yes." But, now that I reflect on what kinds of things scare him - I'm 99% sure that he only said "Yes" because I had asked him. I should have asked him, "What do you think of this?" I guarantee he would have had something to say and it would not have been, "I was a little spooked."
He also thought it might be a reference to a large piece of graffiti in downtown Des Moines that is going to be removed. I'll see if I can find an image of it. <pause> Even better - here is a video clip from a local news station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmVt99HzMgo

Walk away. Then come back.
Jean's comment: Yup. There's no way of knowing if I have ever mentioned this - but it is a very basic lesson that once learned, is probably one of the ones that we remember and implement. Maybe everyone already knows how to set things aside and come back later with fresh eyes.
Of course - it can always work the other way. You might be pleased with something and then the next day you see some weaknesses that need to be fixed - or maybe just let them go. Decisions decisions.
I love the series of Halloween themed envelopes you've been sharing. Right up my alley.
