Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Fish in Space

I love this fish in space. The fish is so happy to have the red sack of oxygen and its glassy face-plate as it flies by Saturn. Thanks, M. The envelope is great with the seaweeds dancing and the jellyfish and red fish swimming in the blue waters. The label is Sweet Harvest Premium Fruit Cocktail.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Fish! Fish! Fish!

A small brown fish is following a long dark gray fish (possibly a shark) in the deep blue waters. The orange envelope back screams "FISH! FISH! FISH!". The label is Spaghetti Rings with Meatballs.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Whales Spouting

The sun is shining down on two whales spouting. The shiny silver label is Le Sueur Very Young Small Early Peas.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : The Shark

I liked both sides of this envelope...thanks Dustin. The Shark also known as "Dude Fooe" (?) has an I-pod and head phones held in its fins. Way to go, Shark. The label is Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Logfish & Sawfish

Poor Logfish, the Sawfish will come and get you... if it ever turns around to see you. I love all the little figures running around the envelope's address box. The label Campbell's Tomato Soup.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Tri-Color Fish

This tri-color fish is just swimming along the textured blue waters. The blue and red striped envelope is exciting...don't stare too long at it...ooh. The label is Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Rangdoodle Fish

This Rangdoodle fish has great stripes. I wonder if this fish has its own rangdoodle song. The envelope's yellow flower reminds me that the winter won't last forever and spring is only around the corner. The label is Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Watery Purple Fish

This is one of the few signed labels from the Bellwood Discovery School mailing. Matthew made a sparkling stained-glass window envelope and a purple fish swimming in the murky bottom waters. The label is Campbell's Chicken Broth. (Matthew, I like it...I like it.)

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Phyche fish

I followed the smiling envelope's advice and found this Phyche fish. You never know what's out there...an x-files fish in a diver's helmet. The label is Campbell's Tomato Soup. Happy Birthday to you too, envelope...(shrugging).

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Princess Phishy

All hail Princess Phishy, Ruler of all the C..shiny sea. Her tail is magnificent as is her glowing crown. I am amazed as the envelope promised. The label is Campbell's Chunky BBQ Seasoned Burger. I never heard of that Chunky flavor, sounds sort of yummy.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Delicate Diamond Fish

This is a delicate diamond shaped fish. The envelope has a smooch-y face that says "Open!" The label is Campbell's Cream of Potato Soup.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Fishy of the Pom Pom

Fishy of the Pom Pom looks like it has a huge pom pom for a tail and the fish is not too happy about it. That tail is too heavy. The label is Campbell's Chicken NoodleO's. The envelope above has a green flower floating above a white address box cloud...love-ly.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Pointy the Fish

I'm not quite sure if that is a red rock that the purple pointy fish is swimming from...hmmm. I love the green envelope with the dancing dots. The label is Del Monte Apricot Halves.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Mutated Fish

This "Mutated" fish has sprouted legs and is crouching under a sandy bubble. There seems to be confetti flying around the address box on the color stripe envelope, above. The label is Chili Hot Beans ala Kroeger.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Mermaid

This little green mermaid is 'ready to fish'. The label is Campbell's Spaghettios. The inside of the envelope is initialed H.E.B. Thanks H.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Lunch Time

It is the blue shark's lunch time, the gray plaid fish is saying "run away" and the gray & black fish corrects him saying " No, Swim away"...at the bottom an oyster's pearl is watching. The label is Kroeger Vegetable Broth. The envelope above looks like a bed of coral swaying in the tide.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Glamorous Fish

This glamorous red head fish is mysterious. I wonder if Mary Cunningham, herself included this label along with the rest of her class. The label is Kroeger Kidney Beans. The envelope is on the left side, I posted this label vertically because the fish seems to be standing this way.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Purple Fish Says Hi

The purple fish is saying "Hi" to the people on the island. This drawing is signed by a G.S. Most of the other Bellwood labels are unsigned. The envelope has great striped colors. The label is Chef Boyardee Mini Ravioli.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Clown Fish

This Clown Fish seems to be smoking a bubblegum cigar. The label is tomato soup.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School : Boomboom Phishie

This BoomBoom Phishie is dancin' and groovin' to an underwater beat. The label is Delmonte Green Beans. The envelope has many fishy drawings, my favorite is the skateboarding fish.

Label: Bellwood Discovery School: 3-eyed Big Little Fish

This is the first of twenty two labels from Mary Cunningham's class at Bellwood Discovery School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This three eyed colored fish certainly weighs a lot for such a little 5 inch fish. The label is from Campbell's Chicken Soup.
