Recycling neatness

[depechemodefan]

At my job I open work with payments for obituaries and other articles. I find a weird envelope. It had a picture of a gazebo in front of some tower or lighthouse. I know some foundations or companies have special envelopes with pictures on outside, but this is really elavorate. Then I get the letter opener to open the back and the back also has a picture.

I open it, and see that the inside is a calender. I see it's for Nov. 2004, and it says things like "4:00 Charles" (on 11/4) "4:00 Miles" (on 11/5) and a heartguard sticker for end of the month. So I realized the person recycled a page from a calender to make an envelope, using a lot of tape.

Actually, it's really neat.

That's a really cool idea! I wonder if the person does that regularly or if they just did not have an envelope and didn't want to bother to go out and buy one. Either way it's pretty creative.

My friend used to make envelopes from magazine pages all the time. She had a template to trace to make a regular letter-size envelope. It makes the mail more fun.
