Project: Inspiration

I decided to make the last 7 envelopes and it was actually quite fun as I spent all day Sunday doing that. I think it worked so much better decorating the envelope and postcard together as last time I decorated all envelopes and then postcard which meant it took longer to prepare things. I now need to think of some more places to leave them.

This one as you can see I stuck on a bench but as I got up to walk away the wind really started blowing but by then some people were coming towards me so I walked away. I really hope that someone picked it up before it did.

Do you ever like sitting on benches and watching people?

What more can you tell a person who is drinking this stuff? I actually put this on the shelf whilst my sister had her back to it, I quickly took a photo and wondered if it would fall off but it seemed to stay for about 10 minutes. Then I guess someone walked passed and it fell down, I was at the counter and could see it from where I was, I thought someone had taken it so quickly only to realise it had fallen. At that point a man and his partner were walking down the aisle, I thought he was going to wheel his trolley over it and flatten the seal, thankfully he saw it, picked it up and.......put it back on the shelf! Goodness! He didn't even really look at it, wouldn't you be quite curious seeing an envelope decorated like that with stamps? I know I would, I'd flip it over and look at both sides. Ladies make your men more curious about such things :).

The thing is though when this idea came to me, I had really wished that we had £1 notes instead of coins as I would have loved to have put a note in to each envelope and told that person to treat themselves because they deserved it. Sadly we don't and putting a £1 coin in would have made it too bulky but still imagine if I'd put a life changing amount of money in that envelope and this man just put it back on the shelf. I wish someone would give me a life changing amount of money, I'd continue doing projects to make peoples days!


Are you lucky enough to have a flowery garden at your end of the world? Unfortunately any bit of blooming the plants here wanted to do have been drowned by all the rain and blown away by high winds when there is no rain. Can't win either way really!

I had planned on only posting one more envelope at the supermarket but ended up taking another 2 as I decided I would post one on someones car whilst I'm there as its easir to go unseen here then if I was on a main road somewhere. It has only just rained, the clouds seemed to have cleared to a lovely white. I stuck the envelope on, spend 30 minutes in the supermarket and when I came back out it was still clear... Yes! So I thought until I went to the next store and whilst in there it suddenly poured it down, that you couldn't even hear yourself think. I actually felt a little sick as I'd actually gone back to my car to put my shopping away and was actually disappointed that the owner of the car hadn't come back yet.

I went back to the car in the pouring rain, I was strapping my niece in when I heard some shouting behind me and I turned around to see a lady (driver) and man (passenger) get into the car. The lady pulled it off and got into the car with it... I was worried she'd throw in there in the car park. She opened it and looked at it despite it being soaking wet. I was actually so pleased that the colour hadn't run as that was my first thought when the rain came down. Now I at least know where one of my envelopes went. Whether they kept it or not is another thing.

I did however forget to put a 'for you' sign on this one but I don't think it mattered. Do you agree?

Do you think the quotes that I've used so far are ok?
