First Ukulele Cat brooch order of 2013 (this one off to America)!  Thank you so much. 

I have so much fun doing these. That envelope was especially relaxing to draw, although when I went to post it the lady at the post office gave me a strange look, like "wh- what on earth is this?!"). Still, totally worth it. I really love any excuse to send or draw on envelopes and send them away into the wild!

Yesterday I got a little bit crafty and prepared a whole new batch of Ukulele Cat Brooches for my Etsy store. I've still got to prepare their packaging, but they should be ready to go very, very soon!

 

 Worked on another Ukulele Cat order today! 

 

 

Worked on an Ukulele Cat Brooch order today!

I sell wooden brooches on Etsy and one of my favourite things to do is to decorate the envelopes that the brooches are sent in, often with a sprinkle of drawings and thank you notes. It's a 1) a token of my appreciation (thank you so much!) and 2) it's just so much fun decorating a package! I'm not sure why, but I love drawing for other people, especially on letters to be mailed out.

I love it when I get a little handwritten note or letter delivered to my door, so I try and channel that feeling and do some little extra drawings so as to surprise someone else!

 If the drawings and note add a little bit extra - a crack of a smile even - then I consider my job done!
