Gracie is another new exchanger. The letters in her name worked out really well. But, I'm not a fan of the slant. The slant conflicts with all the up-right-ness of the image on the stamp. It's fun to have an exchanger in Ames. I love to address to Ames, Iowa -- short and sweet - but - not that fun if it's one of those looooong street names. Ames has one of the longest street names I've ever seen:
George Washington Carver Avenue.
He was a student at Iowa State University in Ames. The street is on the outskirts of the town - so not too many homes got stuck with it as an address.
These are the last two of the assembly line flower designs that I did. I ran out of flower stamps and used the blue stamp convention stamp on Patty's. I added more blue to her envelope. I love those stamps.
There were actually two different sets of these assembly line designs.... I should do a variation on this with all blue. There are days when I think I could be one of those *blue* people - with a wardrobe and home that has tons of blue.... but probably not as long as Mr Wilson and I cohabitate. He made a very snarky comment about something that was blue - and while I just let it go - it has stuck with me in a way that causes me to wonder - how can I live with someone who says something like that about blue? He's fine with blue clothing - but why would he attack blue in another context? It's unsettling.
Oh, I guess I can run all of them....I was going to skip the last few assembly line flowery envelopes.
