Verity Snail Mail

Snail Mail from the NEXT generation!

This "SWEET"  mail arrived all the way from Scotland!  This is from "Verity" who is 12 years old.  She made me an adorable flip book, and asked to be featured on my blog.  Well, she didn't need to ask.  She has a great crafty style....just look!

Look at all this goodness she sent my way!

I decided to do a little Pen Pal "intro" page to my letter, to let her know a little bit about me.  Along with my letter, I thought she might like some "Owl Mail"  so I whipped up a cute packet of owl themed embellishments and stationery for Verity.

This is a home made Kraft envelope...lined in matching colors.   This is also a LARGE-ish envelope. You need to be careful with international mail.  They seem to allow rather large envelopes, but you need to be sure that it is no more than a 1/4 inch thick.  They have a little doo-hicky thing that they will slide your letter through, and if it doesn't go through...it will go PARCEL rate, which you don't want , unless you want to spend $14 dollars or more.  So be creative in "flat mail".  I usually put about $3 worth of postage , on average, when sending to the UK.  

On its way to Scotland!  Happy Travels!

Happy Snail Mailing!

Chicken Mail

It All Started With Washi Tape....

It may have actually started with my rooster rubber stamp, now that I think of it.  But regardless, I ordered this adorable chicken washi tape off of Etsy...and I was definitely inspired.  Then I had to get some chicken stamps, and that was quickly solved by  my friend , Patrick at EdelweissPost and scored big time with a nice selection of stamps.

This went out to Sharon, who is a new pen pal, but she might not be too happy with my very tardy response. She discovered my blog and I am tickled that she is a fan.   However, she and I do possess quite a few similar interest, and one of those is watercolor, so I thought she might enjoy this.  Sharon, let me know if this arrived or not.  (Leave a comment??)

Oh, and in case you don't think I know, I do.  I recently viewed a video on Pinterest entitled : "5 Mistakes that Water Color Beginners Make", and yes, I have made all 5 and maybe many, many more.   (Where did all the white go?)    ;-) Hmmm...but it was a very well executed and I learned so much!  I hope to start paying attention to those "rules" or suggestions the next time I pick up my brush.   But the important thing here is to have fun, try new things, and send some mail, hopefully more quickly than I have been lately.

Cluck, cluck....

Send some good mail today!

Happy Snail Mailing,
