Cindy Adkins' Whimsical Musings: You've Got Mail!

You've Got Mail!

Over at the City Crafter Challenge, the theme is "You've Got Mail." I created this envelope and tag...and it has a cute story behind it...

The other day, my husband and I went to the lake and I saw seagull feathers strewn on the lakefront...so, he started collecting them from me. Well, I think they look like angel wings,

so I wanted to use them for this tag!

Hope you're having a beautiful Sunday~

And Nana Diana, I'm sorry your Packers aren't in the game!
