Yesterday I mowed, today it snowed. This morning I walked to work, no coat, just a sweatshirt. I get to work and it starts snowing. No Joke, and it was really coming down too. Big, huge, fat snowflakes.
Last week I got this lovely postcard, handmade by Katie (Oltremare), in the mail as part of an exchange. My first piece of mail art at my new place. I just love her eye for design and this piece will be a prized addition to my art collection.
Today I finally was able to fulfill my end of project FKFDPYM (Found Kemper Fluid Drawing Pen in Your Mailbox). After searching the lands (read: Michales, Hobby Lobbys and JoAnn Fabrics) high and low in all the northern Illinois area, Rosa told me she would send one to me. When I got home from work today I asked Matt if I had gotten anything in the mail and he said “Oh, just something from Project KPRMBJ7T” That cracked me up. It was so kind of Rosa to send me one these pens she raves about. I’m excited to have this new tool and got to play around with it some tonight. You can see it in the picture above, sitting on the watercolor postcard, on which I tested the pen out.
Tonight I found out that the Create A Day group was featured on 52 projects. I think we CADers all have Sheasy to thank for that.
Thanks Katie, Rosa and Sheila. You are all wonderful group of online chronies and have succeeded in making me feel very special and blessed. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm Robyn and I was Hatched from a Kinder Surprise Egg. Graphic Designer by day, Maker of things by night. I have worked as a graphic artist professionally since I was 16 years old. Went on to get my Bachelors of Art from NIU. I like to share my Artwork online at flickr.com/photos/robayre and on my own personal website http://www.robayre.com. I also have an online shop http://www.robayre.etsy.com where you can find more of my "crafty" sorts of things, as well as a random piece of artwork here and there. Oh, and I'm also an occasional contributor to Artomat (artomat.org).
It made my day to get the image on my cell! I’m glad it finally made it! Horray for project FKFDPYM!! I hope you get lots out of it, I really do love these pens.
And oh, I never told you that I did find it on Michaels, right where they have the calligraphy pens, go figure…
i’m so glad you like it!
and, wasn’t that snow the worst? we didn’t get too much here, but it was still so frustrating to know that it was in the forecast.
