I just want to say a big thank you to fadeawaydream. I received my papers today and I love them. Here are links to some photos of what I was sent.

The first one is of lots of cards and postcards. One of the postcards has writing on the back and is dated 1968.

The next photo is of lots of lovely writing paper and stickers.

No photos yet, but just wanted to brag to the world on behalf of DefunctBuffalo....  She sent out the MOST AMAZING package!

I know Karensff posted pictures of the wonderful papery goodness I sent her, but I just found some pictures that I took before I sent them off, so I thought I'd share. (: These are some of my favorites that I had a difficult time parting with. (;

The whole package:


Glitter!


Gnomes!


And my favorite--kid stuff (:

fadeawaydream -- nice package! 

The glitter paper is really cool -- is it glued on?  I haven't seen anything like that around here.  Very neat.  The elephant picture is so cute!

Also... I am in love with the gnomes.  Haha!  What are they from??

I can't wait until my partners get my envelopes... this is so fun.

Thanks! The glitter paper came in a pack of assorted papers I got awhile ago from a friend's mom--I think she bought it at Blick. But I'm sure you could do it yourself using white glue and glitter by "drawing" designs with the glue and sprinkling the glitter on.

The gnomes are from this wonderful book I got at a thrift store. It's called Gnomes by Wil Huygen published by the Peacock Press in 1977. The book itself describes everything you ever wanted to know about gnomes including history, language, anatomy, appearance, etc. I love it. (:
