whimsical wednesday

whimsical wednesday at the whimsey project! our activity for today is to examine the mail. we aren't just going to look at the mail; we are going to really look at it! as you go through today's mail, take your time. i typically sort the mail before looking at it; meaning that i put the mail in categories: personal, junk, bills and other important stuff, before opening any of it. then i begin with the junk and work my way to the the personal stuff so i can save the best for last. today i will add a few more steps to the routine. each piece of mail will be examined thoroughly. i will look at the stamp, the return address, anything on the back of the envelope and the font of the print. once opened, is the envelope lined (security envelope) as in the inside of the envelope is printed with a pattern. what color is the ink? i'll look at each piece enclosed in the envelope. anything interesting inside: not just the content either! i will do this with each piece of mail. and if there's anything neat, i will put it in the art journaling supply box! what you discover in your mail today? share what you found with the whimsey project!

  1. my mail arrives later in the day so i had the late afternoon to examine what came in the mailbox. there were a few flyers. i actually looked them over. as i did i thought, "i don't want to eat there; i don't need that service". a pretty postcard ad was so pretty i put it in the scrap box for art journaling fodder. an envelope from a non-profit organization had a neat stamp. of course, money was requested. the best piece of mail was a post card from canada. the picture depicted is bagels that are colored like pinwheels on a light blue background. very whimsical!
