"I don't believe in mistakes" - LB


I was in the middle of cutting out that image, when I stopped to meet a new friend/former co-worker for coffee at the roost. During our conversation she said, "I don't really believe in mistakes. I can learn something from everything I do." I agree.

So back to work and finishing the mailer to Will Schaff. There was a big USPS sticker in the middle to us in Baltimore from Tiny Showcase. I decided to cover it in black, glue the pic on top and then write the address in silver paint pen on the black. Black paper found, glued, ready to write the quick and easy address- silver ink pen was dead. But I knew I had another, lesser silver pen, also dead. WTF and whatevs. Peeled the black off, peeled off the old mailer label and addressed in sharpie, then laminated. Eh, doesn't look great, but it's done. I did want it to look better. I have made envelopes and postcards forever. And Will decorates envelopes (pics on his flickr) of course awesomely and coolly, cuz he's an awesome artist. So now I gots to send him my lame-ish mailer. It would be irresponsible of me to go buy a mailer and start over. Eh, there are no mistakes right? So it gettin' mailed tomorrow, word.
