I love happy mail with cute postal stamps that I haven’t seen before, like these from Germany. So very cute, right? I adore the one with The Gruffalo, because I remember vividly how I read the first book to my brother when he was a kid (written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by wonderful Axel […]

Happy Mail from Kat
I love getting happy mail, little surprises stuffed inside an envelope that you weren’t expecting… But who doesn’t right? Happy mail is so right every day of the week. I missed the day light today to take photos of my pile of Postcards for the DIY Postcard Swap (yes, you can still join – as […]
Opening up for Happy Mail
In my blog post On the Receiving End I showd a few of the postcards I got in the DIY postcard swap last year (you can still join today – don’t miss out!). Here are the rest from that lovely pile of postcards that I received: DIY Postcard created by Julia, who sent her postcard […]
Pink Happy Mail Opening
Life is tough, sometimes. You know what I mean, right? This autumn has felt particularly harsh to me. First my bike got stolen from outside our house where it was locked, then a month after that I got my smart phone stolen. And I know things like this happens all the time, and it could […]
Happy Mail Day
Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress. Ted Levitt I sometimes get the prettiest things in the mail. It does not happen very often, but after Easter I have gotten several very nice surprises […]
Dear Photo Diary | Pumpkin Season
Dear Photo Diary, last week was Week in the Life photo documentation week, but I didn’t join. I have way too many things on my to-do-list right now to add another big photo project (I did print my 2012 book last year, but so far I have not even started working on my 2013 one […]
Inspiration in Envelopes
One of my dear blog fans, Jenny, sent me a care package filled with lovely paper and craft stuff. You know the kind, where every time you look inside the envelope something cuter than before comes out? I feel so happy to have received all this, to the point of almost being embarrassed. Am I […]
I have a Newsletter too
I have a Newsletter, did you know that? I very rarely send it out but I’ve got one. I would love for you to sign up. Now I’ve also got a mascot for it, a mailchimp called Freddie… This is my new mailchimp & newsletter manager. He matches my living room table (and nail polish) […]
Inspiration Board Update
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. Emerson I love my […]
Happy birthday to I, Hanna
Yay, a gift for me! I just picked this little package up from the mail box. Isn’t it cute? It’s from my sweet friend, who has great timing. I’m pretty sure it will contain something I will love. It always does. Because she knows me well, and today is my birthday. Wishing all of you […]
Valentine Tulips
We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone. Orson Welles I got a in person delivery at my door today. I got red tulips and heart shaped candies. I know, romantic right? Except they’re from my […]
On my Inspiration Board
Handmade postcards pinned to my Inspiration Board right now, all from the diy postcard swap of course. I hope you’ve got a big inspiration board too? If not I made a tutorial back in 2008 on How I made my inspiration board. It’s a huge frame that I painted white and that I now use […]
