I should have been packing. But I couldn't resist doing one more thing before I packed everything up:

A friend of mine who has been buying stamps for over 20 years decided she had to sell some - to make room for more, of course! So I got some great older stamps like this one to add (inexpensively) to my collection. This teacup (isn't it pretty? I just fell in love with it!) is perfect for coloring, which I did with colored pencils and baby oil.

No Prismas or other special pencils, just inexpensive Roseart pencils that I've had for years (and years and years) and baby oil instead of odorless mineral spirits. I like the way it turned out, even if I can't claim expensive tools!
