I'm a-gonna wrap myself in paper,
I'm gonna daub myself with glue,
Stick some stamps on top of my head;
I'm gonna mail myself to you.
I'm a gonna tie me up in a red string,
I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too,
I'm a-gonna climb up in my mail box;
I'm gonna mail myself to you.
Do you remember this famous Valentine song by Woody Guthrie?
I sure do! It was always one of my favorites. I was so excited to illustrate it for this theme!
So, I am sending myself over to visit Mr. Toast at Creative Tuesdays,
stamps and all....
come join the fun!

Hi Heather,
love this...great fun...I thought the words sounded familiar...
LOL! Wonderful image to go with with great words!
So very cute!!!
Very clever, I love it.
heehee..lovely take on the valentines theme...I have often wished it were possible to post myself off to far away climes..however the vision of my rear end stuck in the post box puts me off a little!! :)x
Oh this just takes the cake!!! I love it ~~ I think I'll just wrap myself up, and sent me to my dearest.
This is extremely clever and well done.
Oh my gosh that is SO cute!!
I don't remember the Guthrie song but I love your valentine illustration. It has such joy!
I thought those lyrics sounded familiar. I like the fun visual you created to go with it.
so adorable. This cracks me up! I love it
Ha, how cute! That song is cute also, I like your interpretation! The little mouse in a envelope is especially charming!
Haha, adorable~ Love her happy face and pose, this would make an adorable card to send to ones beloved... ^-^
Hahaha, fantastic!! Really good stuff!!
Hahahaha, so funny and adorable! I don't know the song, but your illustration alone makes me feel like dancing. I read a story about how one couple sent their young daughter to her grandmother's house by mail! They slapped a bunch of stamps on her and gave her a sweater and popped her on the mail truck. Of course, this was almost 100 years ago, before they had any rules against that. :)
Ha! Heather , this illustration is fabulous... too good! (I love her tongue sticking out - fantastic!)

And I'm so glad you did! Love it. So darling. No, not hear this song but do love the lyrics. You have done a great job capturing the idea here so well. not sure what I like best here, if it;s the little stamps. the shoes, or the mouse or maybe even that mailbox but it all comes together perfectly. I can definitely tell you enjoyed doing this. TY so much!!
Wonderful song (didn't know it) and I totally love the matching illo.
How cute! Love the song, the words and the picture!
What a delightful illustration. Thanks for visiting my blog and for your sweet comments!
This is super cute! Love the song and her movement, great capturing of what a dancing person looks like. Her hair is almost as red as the cards she has! I wish I had hair like that :-D
oh this is soo cute. It sure suites the song :)
Aww, she is too cute!! I like how happy she looks and how everything seems to move with her excitement! Lovely work, Heather. :)
Oh Heather, this is just wonderful, I've never heard the song but can imagine it being sung - you drew it so well, and cute and just right I'd say.
When is the range of valentine day cards coming our way?
This so adorable!! I love her face. And the mouse in the letter. You are so creative!
Wonderful stuff!
She is absolutely full of pizazz and fun! Woot! Love her dress and the little mouse. Hee :)
