I was happy to hear from Paula in December and then she signed up for the exchange in January. I am writing this before any of the January mail has arrived. It's a day after the second blizzard within a week (in January) and it is 7-below. The card is a purchased card - so this is a good example of getting some envelope inspiration from a card. The *dotty* strings and the *dotty* stamp are also an excellent combo.

Here is a 25 minute video from Wyoming PBS about a 91 year old guy who makes miniatures as well as other items. The subject matter is what you would expect from a guy in Wyoming - so maybe not all that interesting to some of us. The part that is worth watching is his attitude about his skill at making things and how he delves into the projects. Then he talks about teaching people how to make some of the things he makes. And I don't want to spoil the punchline - but - it does dovetail with my opinion on the value of making things with your hands (which are connected to your eyes and brain).
