Make My Day~Secret Letter 1~Flowers, Lace and Parties~

Here is another letter and this one it completely decorated by me and I had so much fun doing it. I don't know why but I've been thinking buntings and doyles lately and since Spring is in the air once again I thought this was the prefect theme to use.

Doesn't spring put a wonderful spring in your steps, like someone playing music in the background for you to dance to, the flowers are growing, the buntings coming out for weddings and parties but of course there are those little grey days too....  Well its how I feel anyway!

I have decorated an envelope as you can see but I won't be using it to post your letter as it won't fit! I can only fold the sheet in half but for some reason I never thought that would be a problem so I'm including that in with the letter and if I feel up to it I will make a new one otherwise you will except the oh so attractive brown envelope. Ah well its better then no envelope right?

Remember if you receive this letter you can write a letter to the owner of it

or if you feel they aren't quite what you wanted then

why not send them a little postcard in exchange for it.

Hopefully though you'll have gained a new friend.

This is on its way!

Make My Day~Secret Letter 1~ Swirls and Curls~

You're probably tired of seeing that same post about me asking you to e-mail your letters to me to get creative with and offer on here but finally after many hiccups with my laptop I was able to print them off and have some fun.

This one the owner of this letter created the paper themselves with the option of a blank one incase I wanted it to be entirely my work but nope I thought as this is your letter I should offer it as it is but with a little touch up from me, hopefully you don't feel I spoilt it. With the letters I received I would have loved to have been able to decorate the paper first and then printed on it but as I don't have microsoft word I had to print it first and then decorate as I couldn't arrange the way I wanted the words etc... to be. I also don't have the fonts that you used and I wanted to keep that as it reflects your personality.

You don't even need to guess that the distress ink touches are what I added, also I stamped and coloured the last image. The purple flower I'd actually coloured with the combination of purple and white but when it came to the last one I blindly coloured the wrong petal which resulted in me having to colour the whole thing. I used pro markers which are streak free but I personally find they bleed too much so I feel quite disappointed about that as I can't colour as freely as I'd hoped to. I also decorated the envelope which you can see the front and back of in the first two photos.

Make My Day~It's your turn~

I've had problems with my laptop which resulted in me having to reboot it. It is still updating all the software to newer versions which means I can't add my printer software just yet so I will give you until the end of the week to get a letter e-mailed to me.

Thanks everyone whose taken part so far....

Here are some amazing pieces of mail that I have received from some of you.

A beautiful handcrafted card,

a couple of thoughtful greeting cards,

a wonderful handmade envelope with an amazing note

and a heartfelt card with some wonderful supplies for me to use...

I have of course received other things from some of you but I just picked up the most recent ones sent to me.

The stamps on the envelopes make receiving these items all that much special.

Do you agree?

Why am I sharing all of this?

Well I still aren't well and can't get rid of this horrid cold,

I wanted something to post on make my day but felt too lazy to put somethings together and photograph for you to have even though I have a box full of things I'd like to offer.

Anyway one of the ideas that came to my mind whilst sitting around yesterday was this...

For those of us who love writing letters and

would love some more friends from any corners of the world

and of any age

should get together through my help.

The idea is that you e-mail me an introduction of yourself.

 It will be an old fashioned style letter with your address in the right hand corner.

Make it interesting,

fun,

and personal

as well as long since half a page or one side (I'm thinking A5 here)
 is not enough for someone to know whether they'd like to continue the friendship.

I will decorate some paper and an envelope

and offer your letter on make my day.

The catch is that no one will know its from you until they receive it

so it could end up being a male or female

and as I've mentioned already of any age.

If you decide upon receiving the letter that person isn't what you're looking for,

don't ignore it but send a postcard of your country or a little note in order to

'Make Their Day'

I may end up creating a letter from myself too but I'll see about that when the time comes.

You have until the 31st March to take part as I have holidays for the next 2 weeks so will be able to do this and if I get enough responses I maybe able to offer a letter a day.

So if you're interested e-mail me at

Make My Day ~Paper Dolls~

Today I wanted to do something simple, something I didn't have to think too hard about and just by chance I picked something up off my desk and saw some templates for paper dolls and I couldn't help making them....

It was fun to think of something different to do with them both but its a shame they don't have much of a face with features. I bought a rubber stamp once for it especially but the face was too big to fit in the space... maybe at some point I'll go in search of another.

You can use these as bookmarks or as a bit of decoration.

If you would like these

why not shout

'make my day'

in the comment section.

Good Luck!

These are on their way to
