every time i go out to retrieve the mail, i secretly hope there is a handwritten envelope or a nice looking package waiting there for me. sadly, this is rarely the case.  but not today, folks . . . . . . toDAY, i was greeted with a very handsome package all the way from australia.  a gift from the amazingly talented kylie johnson.  you see, one of the best perks about the blogging world is that you get to meet (cyber-ly) people from all over the globe.  one of my favorite blog-friend (blend? frog?) is kylie  johnson of paper boat press.  we bonded over the similarities,  yet dissimilarities, in our clay work.
