Sqrrrrl Power!

Okay, "corny" is the theme of this blog, to be sure. We don't stand for pomp and puffed up circumstance around Moxieville, as you can see from the photos.

Typical day around Moxieville, with the occasional head bobbing squirrel (which is made in Germany) I picked up from my friend Drew at Heebe Jeebe here in Petaluma. More on that later!
I posted a blog on the Petaluma Craft Mafia blog a few months ago regarding my wish to have a Moxieville postcard mailer that was a scratch n' sniff. Remember that? Well, if not here tis the link. As the squirrel is Moxieville's mascot along with oak trees, acorns, oranges and the colors orange and chocolate, I thought "Orange and Chocolate" or a citrusy scratch n' sniff would delight those who received a Moxieville Scratch n' Sniff postcard thus etching Moxie in their hearts and memory.

Well, It turns out making scratch n' sniff is a whole lot more involved then I even thought or at least more expensive ... just as I thought. It involves quite some expense and print technology that I am not capable of ... yet! A scratch n' sniff dream not yet a reality. Sighh. :)

Sure, If I wanted to pay k-thousands to have somebody in China manufacture this dream, then yes, our scratch n' sniff would be a reality, but as the moment, I shall pass.

Remember, this stationery maker and papervoire is still saving her pennies for a new (actually ancient) letter press. A larger model, well put together model would be nice this time.

So a heads-up to those of you who receive a Moxieville Squirrely greeting in the mail, you can scratch, but sadly, you cannot sniff. Though some cards I've spritzed with one of my favorite scents, "Hesperides" so you may think the scratch n' sniff feature works on your card. Alas, it doesn't. It just means the scent has not yet faded on the cards I spritzed. But at last, the post cards came in last month and I've been mailing them out.
Though, sorry to disappoint, but no scratch n' sniff, however Moxieville is that much closer to the realization of a brand new letter-press or a new car ... whichever comes first!

Happy birthday to all my fellow dreamy and uber creative Pisceans this month. Did you know we funky fresh fish are considered the "artists of the zodiac?" Ask fellow Pisceans Drew Barrymore, Michaelangelo, Elizabeth Barret Browning, Kurt Cobain and Albert Einstein. Uh, actually,I guess it will have to be Drew,... unless your good at channeling the spirit world, and if you so happen to be a Pisces you probably are good at channeling spirits!

Happy Birthday my fellow funky fish!
