The Lands Beyond

My only daughter, Dena, is moving to Vancouver for college. Her life packed in two suitcases + a guitar case. She will be 8,289 miles away from me, I will be 14 hours ahead of her. Have an awesome life journey sayang! Remember Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth when you were in grade 5? Go swim in the Sea of Knowledge, hop to the Island of Conclusions, visit Kingdom of Wisdom and watch out for Terrible Trivium & Senses Taker in the Mountains of Ignorance! I'm going to terribly miss you.

See You Letter

My friend lent me her precious letter paper & envelope so I can up-cycle them into a journal. Last month when I had a once in a life time chance to write a letter, I couldn't find any letter paper in any book store. The sale girls looked at me with a puzzled look like I'm some kind of a weirdo from another planet when I asked for letter paper. Who has the time to write letter in an e-world these days? In a fast world patience is such a lonely word.

One friend with amazing collection of cute & whimsical letter paper/stationary + One artbin full of art tools + One cassette = One sunny afternoon filled with cutting, gluing, measuring, binding, sewing & giggling. I love letter paper. I used to collect them when I was small.  I love getting letters; they always put a smile on my face and brighten any day. I'm such an old soul lost in the e-world and i-world :-)
