Thank Goodness For REAL Mail!!!
Do you see IT? It is there, and it is undeniable! Peeping out among all the other "junk mail"
This appeared in my mail shortly after I arrived home from my Annual Chick Trip to South Padre Island. Yes, notice the beach theme going on there? This is from my older sister who is not too sure about this Mail Art "thing". Ha, ha.
Turn over this rather large hand made envelope (from a grocery bag turned inside out!) And what do you know? It is a reference to ME! That there is my foot...and next to it is a pesky crab. The crabs down at South Padre took a real liking to me in the water. So much so that I got myself to the nearest beach store and bought some "crab-stomping" shoes. She had enclosed a Texas map for me so that I could make my map envelopes. That made me very happy.
Because my sister was so thoughtful, I was able to make my vacation envelopes!
Here is a picture of those super-duper "crab- stomping" shoes!
I love that my older sister writes me. We have just recently started to be more intentional about this. We have so many things in common... it is so easy to write her! Do you write any of your siblings? It may take awhile , but once they start receiving some "real" mail, they too might get a hankering to send some out as well. I was really thrilled with the effort she put forth here!
Write Letters.
Write Often.
