Envie Addicts Unite! October

[TrinaLD]

2 days and I'm a complete wreck today. I know everything will be fine on Saturday, but I'm in kind of a meltdown mode today. Tandy, I've not yet mailed your EAU. I'm wondering what happened to the Halloween postcards I mailed out about 2 weeks ago. Seems more should have been received by now. If not received soon, I'll make replacements and send them out.

Trina I had an awful day today. Hope yours gets better!

[TrinaLD]

SunTrade, I'm so sorry. I also hope better for you. Maybe there was something in the air today.

Most of my Halloween-time art has landed, so here's a group pic of the Man in the Moon postcards. Hope the recipients have had a chance to catch them "glowing-in-the-dark."

Do we need to “charge” the paint to reveal it’s spooky properties? If so, does it require sunlight or lamp light?

Love my Man in the Moon Halloween postcard from Nanner. It arrived on Saturday, perfect day since it was Bill's COL, and that went very nicely.

[dnewton972]

Received my postcard from angelmario! Fabulous!

[SunTrade]

I sent my envie last week to Miss Iowa. Beautiful stuff being posted.
.
I have a lot of drama going on at work, not by me, but stuff happening. Thinking about looking for something else. But is hard to find a part time with my hours...

[kwailin777]

Trina, glad to hear that! I know you were a little bit worried about how it was gonna go.
Suntrade, hope you can find something better. I guess the silver lining is that its not your drama.

As for me, I've been trying to do a lot of gardening. The 'ol dust bowl is taking shape. The only thing that is sorta holding me back is Fall allergies! I never get them, but for whatever reason, it's like spring for me right now Gah! I worked in the yard all day yesterday. I feel like I'm paying for it more today than yesterday. My face feels wrecked! LOL! Oh well...like I said...garden is taking shape LOL!

[nanner]

Sorry to hear about your allergies, Mel. Gardening is so enjoyable, but having nature turn on your system is no fun!

I received a pumpkin postcard from Fandanie. Thank you!

[jezebelle]

On Monday, I received my October EAUfrom LindyLu! This one is a striking vintage Jack, Halloweenie goodness. It is safe to post it now, if you would like. Thanks again.

I hope mine arrives soon, I am feeling so anxious about my first envie!

Today I received my final Halloween postie, from Fandanie! It must be the year of the Jack. This one has the most cheerful and humorous expression, and fabulous textures. Thank you!

I hope we do these posties again next year, I love Halloween mail Art.

And, I caught nanner’s full moon glowing in the dark last night!

[TrinaLD]

Oh Mel, I know all too well about allergies! I have found that wearing my double masks outside when I'm working in the yard has been really helpful. I guess I can thank Covid for that piece of information as well. Maybe give it a try? I take allergy meds but they don't keep everything away and pollens are really high right now for some reason. Some rain would be really nice!

I received a very fun, Halloween EAU postcard from Fandanie in yesterday's mail! I'll add it to my collection. I think I'll have to set these all on the branches of the holiday tree (right now, Halloween and fall, sometimes Valentine's and Christmas and winter, and sometimes summer)

[TrinaLD]

Oh, I almost forgot. So I had emailed the congressman one day about a concern I have. Yesterday, can you believe it, I received an actual letter in an actual envelope from the congressman's office. I was so excited! I opened the envelope, removed the letter and realized that the office didn't directly address my original concern. I was excited that they took the time and I had really given up on ever hearing from them. After all, it had been a while since I'd written. I emailed a response and wanted to let them know I had received the letter on October 25, 2022 that was dated June 28, 2022 and was appreciative that the USPS didn't take a full 4 months to deliver this letter. I suggested that the congressman look into the slowdowns and cuts at the USPS while addressing my original concern. Yep, just 3 days shy of 4 months for that letter to get from Washington, D.C. to Sacramento, CA. Go figure!

Here's the envie I sent to jezebelle.

Oct envie, from my partner jezebelle, has arrived & it's such fun. It's a city of tall buildings made out of strips of painted book pages with skeletons & crossbones & a big full moon, all on a purple background. Thanks partner!
