Take a Word Challenge - Mail


I enjoy creating old and stained envelopes.  This one is dedicated to Buffalo and a misspent childhood watching westerns at Saturday matinees.  Images Googled.  Background bits and pieces by Lorie Davison and postmark by Katie Pertiet.

    This looks as if the Pony Express carrier dropped it and rode his horse over it! It's delightful, with little bits of your humor everywhere. Loud, enthusiastic applause from my corner!

    I wish I could read the date on the postmark because I'd swear it was sent somewhere around 1842. The grungy well worn feel is spot on, Marie.
