Simple Snail Mail Happy Mail Project!




Get down and Get Messy!


Here I am on the floor, making my usual mess.  When I find the desk can not contain my messes, I move to the floor.



These are little folder mailers,  I'm not really sure of a proper term.  But it is a relative of the flip book, just a bit simpler.  I usually have 1-2 pockets to hold some items for the recipient.






If the letter is not too long then I fold it up with some tea, then enclose it in a small lip and tuck cello bag.  This is a 3X4  (inch) cello bag.  



I love these cute , vintage sticker labels.  Aren't they adorable?  I find that I am using them quite a bit lately.  Ha.  You might see them on your letter from me!






Here is the completed project with a cute pink elephant charm and some pink and blue stamps.  All sealed up in a cello bag.   Happy travels!

Hoping this can be of some encouragement to those of you doing the April "Write_on!" challenge!

Happy Snail Mailing!

Christmas Snail Mail


Merry Christmas!!!!




So sorry to have been MIA (missing in action) here on my blog.  It has been a busy month and a half.  I have been trying to catch up on letter writing  the last few days, and have enjoyed getting out my red and green goodies.  Here is a long over due letter going out to Cathy!


Did anyone else snag the Dollar Tree Christmas Washi Tape?  I hunted for it in 3 different Dollar Trees and only found it once in one!  I should have grabbed more, but I was happy with what I got.

Do you even remember what it was like to send out a letter without washi tape?  I can hardly think of it now!  Gotta love wash, right?


I am also working on my postage stamp arrangements.  I tried to get all the vintage greens and some reds, and old vintage Christmas stamps.    My favorite is the vintage red mailbox.  So sweet.


Here is a tiny parcel going out to a special someone.  I put my letter in a glassine envelope, and there is , of course, plenty of washi!  



Have a wonderful day today, and if you have never read the Christmas story in the Bible, it is found in Luke Chapter 2.  

Behold, a virgin shall be with child , and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.   Matthew 1:23

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.  1 Timothy 1:15

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 3:16

Happy Snail Mailing!
