(Half) A Weeks Worth of Mail!

Hi Readers! Happy Saturday! I have a good handful of mail to update you on, but I still have some that I need to reply/rate/photograph before I can share with you all! Instead of waiting until I had all of that done (and because it's been a full week since my last update--oops) I figured I'd come show off at least some of it? How does that sound? This week has seen a great mix of postcards, letters, and new websites-- as well as my first Valentines card of the season. I also received a  random postcard from one of my college pals who is currently in France! Let's get started!!



Two beautiful scenic cards! Zibbity in Washington sends a card of her new home and Becky shares a gorgeous view of the Great Smoky Mountains! 

Alena sends my first card from Hanover--an awesome multi-view of the city, and I actually have a calendar page with the bear on it! From Susan (who sends the most awesome cards) a street view of historic San Diego--even better since I was just talking to some friends about going there in November! Thank you ladies!

Leslie sends a card from the restaurant company she works for! I love the rabbit and I think it's great the company uses postcards for sharing and advertising, Thanks Leslie--I'll check out the restaurant and maybe get up there one day :)  An adorable (and quite crafty) card makes its way from Fawn in Colorado-I love a good, cute postcard. Thank you!

From Bonnie a view of Zion National Park in Utah--I just love cards with these type of shots, and I have always thought massive rock formations were cool but man I am really bad at being in nature... hahah! Speaking of nature, Pam sends me some happy Nebraska cows! Thank you ladies, great cards :)

My second "Where's Waldo" card (and a different one to boot)! Thank you Bonnie for adding to my collection. Of course, you do have to find Waldo, but bonus points if you can find: A lighthouse, 5 snake monsters, and a scroll!-First person to comment with the correct answer will get a postcard from me!

Rich shares Indiana Wildflowers, which are some of my favorite flowers and definitely added a bright spot to the dull and dreary winter weather. The black and white card comes from Nelly in Switzerland--I love the little boy :) Thank you both! 

Two fun cards made their way this week as well! A nun having some fun on a carousel comes from Joseph--the card is actually a between takes shot from the movie Where Angles Go, Trouble follows!  Krista has been kind enough to send me one of my first cards from the Pixar collection, and it's a Finding Nemo card at that!

Jenny, of The Modest Peacock sent me a letter! A wonderful handmade envelope (this is such a good idea, I really need to try this more) and a card featuring her favorite bird! Thanks so much, Jenny, I'll write back soon!

A handmade Halloween card finds me from Lola in California. Thank you! I just adore it :) 

And finally, at least for this afternoons update, the mastermind behind Cue Happiness has sent me some wonderful and inspirational mail! How cool is the plantable Valentine? I need to get some good soil for her :) Thanks a billion, I love the project!


Thank you for all of the great mail so far this week! I still have a good handfull (Thursday through Saturday) to show off and I promise that I will work on that today! So far this month I have gotten at least one thing out everyday that the mail has run--not including my bills and tax return haha-- for The Month of Letters Challenge!

Another Friendly Postcard Project!

Hi there Readers! I hope you have all had a wonderful Thursday; as well settle in to our dinners and the end of the week, I thought I would give you all a heads up on a new postcard project that I have come across.

The project, called "Froufrou Postcards" is headed up by mail snail mail friend Emily from California. Her goal is to get 500 postcards by next October (2012)--the one year anniversary of her projects creation. The aim of the project is to learn more about different cultures, ideas, religions, peoples etc through postcards and their images. As an added bonus, the first 100 participants with get a card back from Emily herself! (I happen to have some awesome cards from her so I would jump at this chance!).

You can read more about the project by going to Froufrou Postcards; there is also a link on my side bar under "Snail Mail Fun".

Stop by and show her some love...and culture!
