 Hey everybody, I wanted to come on really quick for a quick happy mail and vlog I got some happy mail from Victor from Ukraine and he sent me this really great handmade card Look at that For a guy who I know who I've talked to who has limited supplies. He sure doesn't make cute stuff So it looks like it's just made out of regular paper some repurposed materials and old map Doodle, I just love it and then he included an ATC card That says just autumn. It's fabulous. I Love it. So there's that. Thank you so much Victor I really love it and a great envelope to add to my stash because I'm still collecting envelopes for that Envelope junk journal that I saw somebody else make I think on junk journal junkies and now I've got to make one I Was cutting up your happy mail envelopes and using bits and pieces of them in my journals and I should have been saving them because I yeah, anyway Hindsight it's always 2020, right? So I got another packing package from my friend Cindy udder from New York And I knew she was sending me something In particular she told me she had an extra one of these handmade watercolor books from Hobby Lobby Because I told her I was going to go buy one and she said don't I have one I'll send it to you Thank you so much, and I haven't even opened it yet because I wanted to do that on camera with you guys I can't wait. I keep hearing such good things about these journals Oh, and I can just tell you by just feeling the cover I'm already in love with it. Let's see if I can get this open without ripping the label Or at least without ripping it too much Okay, there we go The cover is made out of handmade paper as are the pages inside Oh, and I gotta tell you guys, you know, I like my watercolor paper textured. I don't like smooth watercolor paper and This is just wonderfully textured. It feels like cotton What is it? Probably it's up 100% post-consumer waste. So it's a recycled watercolor paper journal I love that and it's a stitch bound Fabulous fabulous fabulous. Yeah, you can't wait to work in it. And then what I didn't expect was she included a bunch of extra things Which I didn't expect She got some of these really great tags Well, these are from her husband has a firearms business and these are some of the tags from his firearms business I think he's closing up shop Anyway, and she got these really great paper clips. I think they're supposed to be alligators But she sent me a bunch of these tags with look at the clips clips are cool So she sent me a whole bunch of them. I didn't expect that. Thank you so much We I know we talked about them But and then she sent me some really fun bits and pieces of textured paper and these are like corrugated cardboard They're gonna be great on the jelly plate and Then she sent me some cork paper Really cool cork paper Look at this one. I Like that one and then some burlap paper. I just want to you know rub on it I know it'll make me itchy later, but And then she had gone to The Mudder Museum Which is one of those museums of medical curiosities and she picked up a brochure With this interesting drawing on it that she sent me a copy of To use is that cool or what and then she put a note on another tag Oh, I didn't even see the backside on another one of the firearms tags And she's decorated this one with some of her painy doodled paper.
