Spot Light On My Mail Box

Do You Get Cool Mail?

Oh, yes.  I get the best!  This envelope is so amazing...How DID she do it?  I am guessing now, perhaps masking fluid (for the cursive writing) then paint with a template? The green "paint" is textured.   Oh, the mystery of it all.  I love it.  But that was only the beginning...

This is a file folder letter.  It is just beautiful, isn't it?  I am loving all of the encouraging, positive vibes.

Here it is when opened.  Lots of details and work!

And my, oh my.  All of the goodies inside the pocket.  I really did enjoy the letter too.  She asked some really great  pen pal questions for a first letter, such as, "What are some of your summer highlights;  what are your hobbies, etc.   

Thank you Cathy.  I will be popping the following into the mail for you for being my "Spot Light on my Mail Box" winner.  If you would like to write me,  and would like to be featured on my blog, my address is on the right side column of this page.  

The Craftier, the better!

Happy Snail Mailing,

Pam

Let me tell you about a letter in my Mailbox! Week 4!

Show and Mail Week 4

We Have A Winner!

I hope the winner enjoys the color blue!  I enjoyed working with the blue and silver paper...very festive!

This little guy just had to be included... he said, "I have blue pants!"  Why , yes you do!  So in the stuff you go!

It was a slow week for my mailbox...hmmmm....you would almost think that people were BUSY this time of year or something!  Ha, ha.  Well, me too...I have been a bit slow on the posts lately!   My crochet business is pretty busy right now...and then just all of the hustle and bustle around this time of year.  And does everyone else have so many December birthdays?  We do in this family!

The winner this week is a young mother from Virginia!  Congratulations Beth Nell!  I thoroughly enjoyed her chatty letter...and especially the little notes on the inside of the letter!  Ha, ha.  The bottom note says, "Sorry my envelope is boring!", the top note says"I need to find my stickers!".  Well, there is no requirement for entering this drawing other than writing me a letter.  I love all letters, not just decorated letters!  The letter itself was VERY interesting.  Thank you for writing and I hope you enjoy the goodies I will be sending off tomorrow!

Do you have weeks of slow "incoming mail"?  Don't fret!  Try to take advantage of the extra time for catching up on letter writing, and other mail related projects.  I have been working on a few and hope to share with you soon!  So check back later this week.

Write Letters,

Write Often!

Minty Mail...Out- Going!

Let Me Tell You About A Letter in My Mailbox... (Week #2)

I am hoping that this week's winner enjoys mint green!

Here it is being packaged to go all the way to...

India, Kolkata, specifically!  Congratulations Sarah!

I loved how she opened her letter... "As soon as I saw your letter writing challenge, I grabbed my pad of stationery to get to work!"

Sarah and her husband  (who are newlyweds) are spending their first year of marriage in Kolkata, India.  Sarah is a RN who is working at the Kolkata Rescue Mission as a volunteer.  Look at the lovely stationery that she penned her most charming letter!  These pen and ink drawings by Samir Biswas of 1982, depict local scenes from Kolkata.

Beautiful...and so interesting!

And another one!  Thank you so much , Sarah,  for writing me a letter.  Your package will be in the mail today!

I have received a comment from a friend in Japan saying that he wouldn't qualify for  this weekly contest because of his international status...NOT SO!  This is open to anyone who writes me a letter.  I arbitrarily select one winner from my mail bag...but everyone will get a response from me.    It is my little way of encouraging you to write a letter.  So, go ahead...you have time to get something off to me...

Write Letters,

Write Often!
