I love that feeling when mail arrives for you and you don't know who it's from but you can see your name and address have been written out by hand. That feeling when you realise someone has done a little homework and found out a little something about you that has been the inspiration for what it is they have posted to you. That stirring of girlish excitement when you begin gathering the contents of a package to send to a stranger, who has only shared a few words about themselves as an indicator of who they are and where they're at. That feeling when you realise that some of your most favourite things in the world are postcards, washi tape and mixed media and so you bundle these items into an envelope hoping that someone else may enjoy them too. You even put in a partly made mixed media canvas and ask your perfect stranger to complete it, asking them to tell their story. And days later when you've almost forgotten that you sent that package, a day when you're feeling sleep deprived and in need of replenishment, this perfect little card arrives from your perfect strangers partner. Plus this gorgeous bird image with instructions to use it on your next handmade project! Well, that's when you know that you never have to completely grow up and you know that there's still that twelve year old still dreaming right inside of you and she's not sorry and not whispering, just having fun.
