| Busy over the weekend playing catch-up. Made some envelopes from ledger paper, among other things. |
 |
| Some postcards to some pals |
 |
| Amazing mail coming in - heard a "plunk" today as mail was delivered and discovered this clear lucite block had arrived........ |
 |
| ........along with this pack of stamps. The Queen of Rubber Stamps strikes again! I bet my postal carrier is mystified. |
 |
| Another San Francisco pal sent me a card with one of her beautiful photographs on it and Chinatown paper tucked inside. |
 |
| From SR in NYC -- a wonderful sewn envelope. |
 |
| Yes, it arrived in perfect condition! Now please tell me, do I cut it open to see what's inside or leave it as is? (Last one I cut open I wasn't supposed to!) |
 |
| And from Kelly, an envelope template from the PO. I had read you could get these free from the post office but when I went in and asked at my PO they looked at me as I were crazy (well, it is possible). Thank you, Kelly! That is just some of the outgoing and incoming around here. Yes, I know I'm lucky! |
I really like the sewn envelopes I have seen on your blog - what a great way to combine crafts :D
ReplyDelete"the sooner the better" .... very nice tribute to Gladys Horton (R.I.P.)
ReplyDeleteYou had a very lovely mail day!
I snagged one of the USPS templates when I was in Great Smoky Mountains a couple years ago. The postal clerk was amazed when I came in with a ton of mail and asked her to check for "fat" mail. I told her I wish I had one of those templates so I could check at home and she handed me one. She said that anyone who sends as much mail as I do should get a gold medal from the Postmaster General :-)
You really did have a great mail day.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have one of those templates too - and use it all the time.
I got your colorful, festive Gung Hay Fat Choy post card. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI still wonder who the PO here in SF says there are no such things as the templates but others are getting them....one of life's mysteries, I guess.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes - please open if you haven't already.
ReplyDeleteHappy Day!!!
Hi Steph--I did open it -- after resisting for two days. Such self-control. Loved everything inside and out. And a red letter day today too -- loved the Valentine book. Thanks so much. You will hear from me soon.
ReplyDeleteThat envelope just sewn closed is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI, too, have one of those templates but can't remember how I got it. The thickness part is just a cut-out on the right side not a long slot. It is NOT translucent and is dated May 1981.
ReplyDeleteSo far I am just making up the envelopes and slapping some cool stamps on them and hoping for the best.
