Memos, mail, me: March 06

Hello and welcome! I know - it's been a while. There was a bit of cliff fall. Though yes, you're right, that probably is a little dramatic. Let's say that I slithered and slumped, with a bad dose of February-itis. But having climbed back up, relatively intact, blinking in the daylight of March, I'd love to join in with you all again for Sian's lovely weekly catch-up Memos, Mail, Me over at From High In The Sky.

Somewhere at the bottom of the canyon, there was a birthday which involved lots of happy mail ...

You probably can't quite see the glorious pile of seven little Fabriano notebooks under those pretty paints, each one with a different type of paper and a name which just slips deliciously off the tongue: Vellutata, Goffrata, Pergamentata, Vergata ... (I'm very much afraid they may never see a pen and I may end up simply stroking them whilst sipping a Martini.)

A few days later, popping through our lop-sided letterbox (it's in need of some serious surgery), came Melissa's lovely card and hopeful memo: Light tomorrow with today. Thank-you so very much, Melissa, for your kindness - occasionally something floats into your life which is just what you need :). Which brings me to the happy Herma package. You see? - it can't all be digital ahead if I've actually bought glue ...

And just to show you I mean business, I broke open a box of it to put this together in my Traveller's Notebook ...

Wishing you all a week of happy creativity and good things in your life :).

Happy belated birthday! And I'm so happy to see you here again. Those are inspiring gifts--in so many ways, and your photograph of them is also inspiring----and very cheerful, I must say, on this very gray morning in March.

Sending along, while belated, happy of the happiest birthday wishes. That is seriously a great haul of treats & all so pretty in colours. I chuckled what you said about several of your beautiful notebooks every seeing a pen. I have one in particular I am nearing to fear to write in - it is so absolutely gorgeous I am waiting to write only beautiful thoughts. February was a rough sunless month for sure. Cheers to sunny days & happy thoughts.

A very Happy Birthday!

It's always a pleasure to spot that you have hoisted sail: hope you have a good week. That's two of us stocking up on glue this week, then :)

Belated birthday wishes! Hope that the year starts to get much better from you now March is here.

I know that feeling of just wanting to stroke the different paper types. Have a good week

Happy belated birthday! Glue purchases are popular, I received a resupply just this morning.
PS: I'm so looking forward to meeting you at the Bloggers' Weekend later this year.
