Let me tell you about pbworks
Pb does the most amazing things, have a look and see. And I was particularly taken with pb’s tuna tin which is also here.
So I ate some tuna and spent today making up the contents for the package so I could be a friend-in-tuna-tins-across-the-world with pb. Here it is before I packed it all in.
Well I guess now you probably think I’m a complete nutcase….and certainly if someone had told me that one day I would pack an empty tuna tin with little paper thingys and string as a form of communication with someone in France I would have thought they were a nutcase too.
Isn’t it amazing where meaning in our lives comes from?
More pictures of the delights of papery, stringy thingys and tuna tins.

Soxy Fleming:

Ariane
Ooh La La – c’est magnifique.
What a wonderful hommage to pbworks.
I bet he/she will love it.
What a sweet Soxy you are.
Soxy Fleming:
and how about you too Ariane? pack a little tin with Ariane type things?
Anne van Alkemade
They are wonderful Soxy. They should be in the snail mail group, one and all.
Soxy Fleming:
thanks Anne, I’m always nervous about putting things in groups, I need to be nudged
Zolton
Fun! Nudge nudge. You always find new creative things to share. I still need to try the scissors out!
Soxy Fleming:
I’m getting to be a bit of a tangle of projects!
mmargot
This is just the funnest thing ever!
[not “funny” – most fun…]
How do you two work with such little things?!
happy clapping.
Soxy Fleming:
mmargot I don’t know!. making the little packages (have a look at them they have come up beautifully) was almost a religious experience!
mmargot
Yes.
It takes a lot of friendship and time and time to make a nice friend!
Maybe you could make the pictures of the process very tiny and send
them in another tin?
Soxy Fleming:
what a lovely idea!

this is really sweet Soxy…. one question though! Why tuna, would not an escargot tin be more appropriate =D I love it!
Soxy Fleming:
hhmm. tins don’t feature greatly in my pantry. I did consider sardines. In fact you could put bigger things and longer ones in a sardine tin (but I don’t think I had one). I’ll do an escargot tin if you eat the contents!

mmmmmmm snails yummy!

A friend of mine once stuck a bunch of stamps on an unwraped house brick and successfully sent it to his mate in South Africa. He was rewarded with an unwrapped work boot!
