School Inspired

I’m feeling very inspired by school ever since I announced the paper swap. Here are a few things that I’m loving:

Mini Mail

I received this letter a while back from the very talented Lea Redmond, post master of the World’s Smallest Post Office.

I know a lot of people have sent and received letters through her wonderful service, but this one was different….

Is that the world’s smallest secruity envelope?!! I might have squealed. Just a little.

So utterly adorable! I received the letter weeks ago, but was inspired to post about it today when I got an email about some of her newest projects. Just when you thought mini mail couldn’t get any cuter, here comes the World’s Smallest Package!

I want to get one just for the packaging! They’re only $10 each, so I might just order one for myself! :) Check out more of Lea’s work over at Leafcutter Designs.

Crafting with Stamps

I can’t resist a sale on stamps. It’s simply impossible. Which is why when I went to Joann’s the other day on an entirely different errand, I had to pick up this guy and put it to work:

But it didn’t stop there. I remembered some old music books for piano that I had saved during our last cleaning purge.

And I’ve never met a pun I didn’t like.

Ta da! Stamp sale + salvaged items from my house = gift tags and stationery!

Security Envelope Buttons

I just found out about this great project over at The Sweetie Pie Press. If you’re anything like me and you have a couple (or 20) security envelopes lying around and you can’t quite figure out what to do with them, this is a perfect way to put them to use and help a fellow crafter at the same time! Just mail them to Becky and in return she’ll send you some adorable buttons! I can’t wait to get mine.
