I'm all set for InCoWriMo, but I'm starting a little late. Other obligations and responsibilities required my attention the first half of the month. But, I'm determined to catch up the last two weeks of February. If you would like to follow along, I'll be giving updates on my Instagram.
To make things easier, I've organized my desk and supplies. Here's a quick video with more details and supplies. Happy Letter Writing!
This weekend I led a mail art workshop at the Lakeland Public Library. I had a wonderful group of participants. There were good vibes in the room and a contagious spirit of creativity.
A big thank you to the Friends of the Library for making this workshop possible. They provided all the materials and supplies which I organized into kits. I like making kits and the library appreciates my need to assemble things neatly.
As with past workshops, I shared my own letter writing background and how I got involved with snail mail groups like Letter Writers Alliance. As an LWA member, I'm always working to earn Inklings. Participants made several mail art projects including an origami folded envelope.
The main goal of the workshop is to encourage good old fashioned letter writing. Postage was provided and, luckily, a mail box is located just outside the front door of the library. Several letters were mailed so I consider the event a success. Happy weekend and Write More Letters!
This past weekend I traveled to Miami to teach a Mail Art Workshop at the Miami Pen Show. The show and workshop were so much fun. I am so thankful for the opportunity. Per the request of several viewers, I took the time to vlog (video log) my three day trip. Below are daily videos highlighting the pen show as well as my love of family time, good food, and gardens. A big thank you to those who invited me to the show, attended the workshop, and filled my weekend with joy.
