The Orange Wheelbarrow

Me Musing . . . August 31, 2007 . . .

Is this a hoot or what????????

I was just in town mailing two envelopes to my friend Sara in Texas. (I had to mail two as I had already re-sealed the one envelope twice after adding more stuff to it, then found more I wanted to send, so just addressed another envelope.)

It was the first time I had ever mailed her (or probably anyone else) something that I hadn't made a decorative envelope for. . . or at least coloured a few brush strokes on. I always figured if you were going to spend the money to mail someone something, it ought to at least be interesting looking!

Today was to be spent cleaning out the garage, so I just made a quick trip in and out to the Post Office. And on the way home I thought, 'well, I should go through my files also and weed out more papers'. The file came to mind that holds all the samples of envelopes and Musings that I used to mail out on 11 x 17 hand-painted paper (before email). As I drove home, I was considering whether I could let go of them yet, even though I hadn't sent much out like that in the past 5 years!

I couldn't have been gone more than 20 minutes and when I got home there was a message on the recorder from Sara saying: "Che'usa, I was just going through some things and found some of the wonderful envelopes and papers that you used to paint and send. Your mail is always sooooo fun to get!"

I called her up and said, 'You're not going to believe this . . . but I just mailed you two boring looking envelopes with absolutely NO artwork on them'!

We decided it was a message 'from the Universe' saying:

Don't throw them away yet!

OR

Create BIG Fun !!!

 

 

And it wasn't ten minutes later the phone rang and my friend Winifred in Malibu was on the phone asking me if I would make her some of those neat sayings on all kinds of interesting paper like I used to send out in my mail!

 

 

Ooh ooh . . . I hear the garage calling . . .

Until soon,

Che'usa
