Free Stationary!

Don't you just love free items? Especially free stationary? I know I do! So here are a few that I've come across today.




All 3 note cards can be found here.


That's all for now! 

Have a lovely evening!

Attention! Attention!


Have any buttons that you don't need anymore or plan on using at all? Well, if you said yes to that question, I need them! I will take them off your hands. 

Now, you're probably wondering what the heck I'm going to do with all these buttons. I plan on using them to make felt pinwheels for my handmade note cards. So, once again, if you have any un-used buttons, I would love it if you could give them to me. 

In exchange for your wonderful gift, I will send you something in return. I can make you a few note cards, I can make you a pinwheel, I bake you something, etc. Whatever it is, we'll talk and work something out. 

So, if you're willing to let go of your buttons, email me at mscdyson@ymail.com. 

Thanks! I appreciate it! 

Have a lovely day!

Shop Update: Stamps

My dad used to be a big collector of stamps when he was younger. He has 2 huge albums and 2 shoeboxes filled with stamps. I was talking to him today and I asked if I could sell them or give them away. He said I could, so going up in my shop these next few weeks, are all his stamps as grab bags. If you'd like to trade with me, just let me know and I'll be happy to do it with you. I'll be posting pictures of all the stamps during the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for them.

Have a lovely evening!

New Stationary and Mail Update

This week I didn't receive a lot of mail, but I sent out quite a few letters, so I'm hoping they reply soon. I also bought some new stationary all for $10! I went to Marshall's yesterday and I bought 3 stationary sets. They didn't have a very good selection, mostly Thank You notes, so I bought whatever I could get my hands on. I had to literally dig to find some and I spent at least 10 minutes in that aisle, just searching. I'm going to head to Papyrus tomorrow, so I won't have to dig tomorrow.

Seashell Note Cards 

Letter "A" Note Cards 

Cat Note Cards

 A letter from Shelby in Indiana. 

And a letter from Kateri in Virigina.

That's all for today!

Have a lovely day!

The Priority Boxes Art Project


What's the priority box art project all about? Well, according to the site,"The Priority Boxes project is a public art series that seeks to provoke thought, to make people reconsider their ability to influence change, communicate through art and make art accessible to people from all walks of life. Each box is the canvas for a unique abstract painting and is dedicated with a “Fragile:" message. The project which started as an initiative to promote peace quickly evolved in to art movement with boxes containing a wide spectrum of emotions and abstract attributes such as Freedom, Love and Justice". 

These boxes are created by Franck de Las Mercedes, who is currently "selling" them for FREE. All you need to do is send your request to ​fdlmboxes@fdlmstudio.com. In your email include: your name, address, city/state/zip, country, and how you heard about the project. 

I'm going to sign up to receive one! Are you going to sign up? 

Have a lovely evening!

I'm on Twitter now! Well, I've always been on Twitter. I had a private account, that I never used until today, and I have one for The Jukebox, which I use everyday. So, if you'd like to follow me on my private one, you may do so. I won't be tweeting everyday, but I will be using it whenever I blog on here and Chase All Your Dreams.

Follow me: @helloandgoodbye

Have a lovely evening!
