A double-dog-stamp envelope from Patty - who has an adorable dog. I need to remember to ask my exchangers to tell me if they are dog-people, cat-people or both or something else.
Plus Patty made a very pretty birthday card for me. It's crazy how we are in June already and I'm just now posting my birthday mailings.
Patty left a comment on my post about *oddballs* telling us that while she enjoys both sports and penmanship - she prefers sports for spectating - not participating. That makes the Venn diagram more complicated. To me - there is a huge difference in spectating and participating - although they are both group activities. The fans and the teams. That's probably the part where I'm not inclined to join up.
My train of thought just took off on a side-track - remembering when I was an old school graphic designer. We had to do everything by hand - cutting and pasting artwork and copy that came from a typesetter - that would be photographed to make plates and be printed. There was also a lot of tape involved. We drew things by hand on a drawing board with a T-square and technical pens.
One day I imagined the Graphic Design Olympics. Events included the T-square throw, inspired by the javelin throw. There was speed-taping - where you had to tape the lanes on the track. X-acto knives were the pointy item used with a target, similar to archery. There was an event with the kneaded eraser, but I do not recall what it was.
Ah, the good old days...working in an office....dreaming up stuff.
