Striptease, the holes below Washing Machine, and Pipeline should be kinda good.
Envelope – Free stationary taken from the Marriott while on a business trip.
Snowflake address label – sent to me free and had to be used up.
Stained glass stamp – It was more then three feet away from me when I decided to get them so you know I didn’t see them clearly
Butterfly and Sunflower stickers on the back – Also free and required because the glue on the envelope was so old it no longer stuck.

Flip - there are usually folks at the takeout (14th St) at any hour of both days. Let us know what your skill level is; sounds like your schedule is open.

Great picture, but I don’t think corner has been glorified, maybe he’s talking about pipeline.
