Marvelous Monday Update 4/25/2011

STITCHY STUFF
Again, I worked on the mailart pieces. I'm about half done with the front motif for the second mailart. No pics yet, cuz it's a soo-prise! Since I'm not showing pics of the mailart pieces I'm working on, I thought I'd share past mailart.

Here are one's I've received from Finland, Malaysia, Australia. The ones from Finland and Austrailia were actually sent through the postal system. As you can see, they arrived unscathed.

STASH FOR SALE
Just a heads up for anyone looking for a flower frog. I have another one on my stash-for-sale blog (link on the sidebar). I've also recently put up some Lizzie Kate Christmas Blessings Flip-Its with charms.

SCHOOL
To me, it seems this semester has drug on and on. I'm in Week 6 of 8, so in reality it has gone by pretty fast. Today is the start of registration for next semester. I'm really excited about this because it means only two more semesters (16 weeks + the remaining 3 of this semester!!) and I'll be done -- graduating with a BSBA, double major in accounting and finance. Woo Hoo!

Revised: Ack! I had the college do a degree audit and found out I actually have 3 semesters left. :( 2 more finance classes and 1 accounting class. Bummer.

Love the mail art. Hope school feels better.

Gabi said...

Fantastic exchange. Love both envelopes.
19 weeks is not that long, and then you're nicely finished and no school anymore. Crossing fingers here that time will fly for you.

Oh our Monday catchup. Love those posts.
Your mailart is beautiful. Do you still want to do one with me? I forgot about it until I saw them here.
Shall we wait until school is finished?
Not that much longer now. Hang in there!

Meari,

The mail art is beautiful! You gave me an idea for the one I need to do. Good luck with school. I know how it feels to think you're almost done & find out you still have more to go.

Catching up on posts from the "Gloomy Friday", tell me about buying stuff and not even knowing we have it!!! Has happened sooo many times - still does
The magnifier seems really attractive. Let me see if somebody returning from the US can carry it for me ;)
Lovely lovely mail art Meari :)

Sorry you have more classes left than you thought, Meari--hang in there; it will be worth all your hard work in the end!

Love all that mail art :)

The Mail Art is beautiful. I have seen other stitchers do these and love it. Can't wait to see what you have done.

Meari,

I tried to leave this comment on your blog, but for some reason the comment part wouldn't come up to let me.

Anyway, what you received in the mail is very nice. It is a bummer that you have three semesters left instead of two, but the countdown is still very near. I am proud of you for doing college. Part of me wants to go back to school, I just haven't.

Mailart is beautiful. Amazing it came through unscathed since I received many a letter in regular envelopes which look like they have been through a shredder! :)

Ranae said...

I always admired your mailart
Bummer about the classes

I'm sure your mailart will look great. That is one of the finishes that I really didn't like doing, if I had my choice!

Sorry to hear you've got a semester more to go than you thought :(. I hope it will go quickly.
