Packing

Last year around this time Jessica was moving to a new country for a new job. She didn't want to store anything for when she got back, so she was selling, sorting, and then packing up just a few things. Jess was having trouble both getting a sub-leaser and selling some furniture. She drew this card to capture her mood! I love the details in this card each time I look at it I see some other silly item like a birdcage or 1950's style TV.
Its funny that this year, around the same time, I am moving. Although its just across town I too feel like the girl on this card- suddenly surrounded by possessions coming out of the woodwork needing to be packed or tossed!

You are a home owner! This is a HUGE life step. I am so happy that my pal has her own mail box now!

What is this?

We are best buds who have been relying on the postal system to keep us connected for years. In October 2008, we decided to take this to another level and an artistic challenge was made: Create and send two cards a month. There were no other rules and no other expectations. The goal was simple - to stay in touch and to stay connected to our creative selves (despite unartistic professions). Years later, we are still at it and have the unambitious goal of continuing until we are old women. In this blog, we will post last year's cards and provide a glimpse into our friendship, lives and creative process. Welcome!
