Lobster Shorts card making, crafting, happy mail, weight loss

Mail and Crafting Sept 9/2020

Two packages came in the mail today.

The smaller package contained these cutting dies. They were much smaller than I had expected.

The bigger package had these HUGE cutting dies.

They were bigger than my hand! I wasn’t expecting them to be this big. I’ll be able to do a lot of different things with them.

I didn’t use the new dies today, instead I used these sweater dies, to make a card.

The card is a little plain. I should have staggered the words more unevenly and used a less bright ink colour.

For the second card, I used a baking themed stamp and die set. I really love this set, but I don’t love the card I made. I’m not sure how to use this set in a better way. The set is perfect for gifting baked good.

Amazon and Antiques

This weekend my Amazon order came in and I went to an antique mall. One of the things I love is stationery. Amazon has some really pretty paper and for good prices.

I bought this set and I love the paper. I don’t feel like the envelope matched that well, but it’s still a really cool set. I really love the paper. I have trouble writing straight and the lines will help a lot.

This was my favourite one from the first set. I love the colours. Each set came with a matching envelope.

I’ve been looking for an antique pie lifter forever. It’s not silver, but I like it and I won’t have to polish it. I found it at the Freelton Antique Mall, outside of Hamilton. I have been looking for an antique letter opener for years. They had them there, but they weren’t quite the one. They were plain, and I want a more elaborate one. I’m also looking for an unusual and really old coin, for good luck :). If I find one or not, walking through an antique mall can be a wonderful adventure.
