These images are part of Michelle Wards' Street Team Crusade number 8, only I didn't get into the 'Say What' deadline so I've incuded it in this one. The idea is to post sayings that family members or friends made up, that have stuck and become part of your every day language, I've included two plus some very common Aussie sayings that might make you laugh.
The real number 8 crusade is 'Cheap Tricks', showing something that you use in your art that is cheap or free. I regularly use the insides of envelopes in my altered books. The girl's dress and the guys picture frame, as well as the letterbox pole are all made from the insides of everyday mail envelopes. The number of different designs is amazing. The picture frame is the plastic window, cut to fit.

Yay, a fellow envelope user, very cool! I save the airmail ones for the outsides, I never paid much attention to the insides of envelopes though...I'll be paying attention now! Love your sayings too!
I love..."You think you're body everyself!" I'm definitely adding that one to my own vocabulary.:)
