Check out my friend Stephen's Madonna blog—Madonna Pages—if you're a fan of the woman and of scissors and paste, as I am. I used to make envelopes like the pages he shows from the '80s/early '90s. Every package I sent my friends John (whose envelopes were better than mine), Lori and Mauro were decorated in this way. I wonder if anyone kept the ones I made? I also used to illustrate all of my Madonna-for-sale lists (I'd love it if anyone kept one of my handwritten lists and could send me a scan!) and other correspondence.

I did eventually give this up. But then, I also all but gave up handwritten correspondence.
