envelope envie



paper hoarding is a horrible horrible habit boys and girls.
it takes up a lot of space and it just looks bad, especially if you are not obsessed enough to color coordinate and reorganize your paper collection into nifty little piles and packet folders custom made by, you guessed it, your hoarded paper in your truly neurotic moments of organization. piles of paper wait in clear sterlite bins just waiting to be released into the world, to breath a bit of fresh air, and see the color sapping light of day.

not that yours truly would ever engage in such a despicable activity. Moi? Jamais!
but if i did i would be contrite enough to seek a solution to said nasty habit by redistributing any paper fodder to anyone, anyone, anyone who would be interested.

imagine my relief when just a day after organizing a bin of envelopes (by color, texture, and size) i rec'd mail art from another artist apologizing for her choice of envelope (which had unicorns and a rose colored eiffel tower theme- i thought she was being cheeky!) because she had ran out. Of envelopes.

Envelopes! Of which I possess in the scores, maybe even hundreds. I ran to the shelf, pulled down the bin and stuffed a huge wad of envelopes into an even larger envelope and loaded it up with stamps and sent it on its way.

hmmm. now i am wondering what else i can get rid of this way?
