New stuff for the craft stash August

Today it was time for my monthly haul of goodies to add to the craft stash. I am really piling up some goodies but I also need to clear out some of my old ones - a big surprise will soon be featured on the blog so stay tuned :-)

I am still a bit focused on labels since our printer is not working. I write so many labels by hand and actually it's kind of fun with the hand-written look they get :-) A bit more personal. I bought some awesome giftwrap since we were running low: One has a grass print and the other one has a pile of stones. I fell completly in love with the plaque on the right about "homemade ICE CREAM". Had to have - don't know where to put it yet :-p

Seed packets from IKEA

This week we went to IKEA to buy a couple of things. I found these amazing seed packets on sale (around 1 dollar for a pack of 3). Aren't they awesome? I love their graphic look and they are perfect for adding to a penpal letter - although we are late in the season but they should be good for use untill 2017. :-)

Farm Fun

I did a bit of shopping today. Bought some new writing/drawing supplies from Stadtler, some stamps, and a few cards. I also found something kindda cool in the children's part of the store that I'm excited about and wanted to share with you:

I found this big 'booklet' type of thing that is actually a book with farm themed scenarie and a bunch of stickers. The idea is to add the stickers to the pages and then make your own 'farm story'.
Ofcourse I was inspired to use this for mailart. The pages are awesome for writing on or making envelopes out of and the stickers are awesome quality.

Some of the horsethemed stickers in the book.

An example of a page in the book. Don't you think it would look great to write a letter on this page? I think so! I am bubbling over with inspiration and can't want to bring this new farmthemed booklet into use :-)

Doggylicious

I bought these notecards the other day. I just love all of them and have already sent out the first one as a birthdaycard.
My own dog seems to like them as well ;-)
