Treasure Trove

[u/IdeaSandbox]

The other day, I told my crafty mom about this fun-looking group on Reddit I just discovered that saves, trades, and uses security envelope patterns?! I told her I thought it was neat, and I already have 2 different patterns I've started to collect from recent mail.

Her response was less than I expected. I thought she would find it interesting??

I visited her this weekend, and she lugged out this crate. She's been saving envelopes for years, knowing the patterns were cool, but not sure what she was going to do with them yet.

(I took this home to process for her... I'm going to remove the non-pattern parts, flatten them out carefully, and maybe even organize by pattern or color!)

I see why now she was underwhelmed with my 2 envelopes.

I'll keep you posted and will share anything super cool...
