Mail Call: Die-Cut Envelopes Ahoy!

A letter in my mailbox last night from Sue M, who mentioned in a comment on last post that her strange envelope might have gotten stuck in the mail – turns out it’s just fine! I examined the envelope when I got it, the size and construction, and came to the conclusion that it had been die-cut from a printed letter-sized sheet. I had found a much smaller such die-cutter at a thrift store last week, which I’ve been using to make *teeny tiny* envelopes with *teeny tiny* letters and including them in some Correspondences. Highly inefficient, that – antithesis to the efficiency of my newest stationery choices, but I appreciate the techniques. Of course, my efficiency has ensured that the return letter is already written and headed to the mailbox tonight! The Alphasmart Dana is still going strong 6 days short of a *whole month* on the first charge of the AlphaAverage battery. Battery indicator shows just over half a charge left and I’ve not noticed drastic hockeysticking, so I have confidence that it’ll last more than a month before needing to be recharged. Pretty dang good for a Dana! (: Currently in the earholes:
