| OUTGOING MAIL This is a busy time of year but I am still finding time to send out lots of mail. Sent out some vintage Christmas seals in clear envelopes. Maybe that cheered up the postal workers a little (as well as the friends who received them). |
 |
| OUTGOING MAIL These little gifts all went out wrapped in red and gold Chinese paper. Can't show you what's inside because that would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it? |
 |
| USPO Long lines at the post office -- hard to believe they have no business when you see the long lines and the stuffed mailboxes. Too bad the USPS doesn't get this much mail/boxes being sent all year long. |
 |
| OUTGOING MAIL I did my share, believe me. I don't even want to think how much I spent mailing all my boxes and international letters out this past Thursday.... but it is worth it to cheer up all my friends! |
 |
| INCOMING MAIL Received this wonderful box from my father-in-law in LA -- AVOCADOS! He has a tree in his backyard. The box arrived all dented in and banged up so I was a little worried but the avocados all made it safe and sound. They are green for Christmas, you know. |
 |
| LUNCH Lunch is always involved in the plan. Caffe Puccini in San Francisco. My favorite place for cappuccino and lunch. |
 |
| MAIL ART The SF Correspondance Co-Op had a party last Thursday night at the Center for the Book. There was a lovely display of mail art by Co-Op members. |
 |
| Mail Art I see a couple of my pieces on this one... |
 |
| MAIL ART PARTY AT CENTER FOR THE BOOK Of course there was Food! Food and letter press fonts (can you see all of them in the background?) Food, fun, mail art, drink, a typewriter raffle which I didn't win..drats...this was way too much fun. I think Jennie may be posting about the party so I won't go into any more details. And check out her blog for some great crafting for Christmas at the last minute ideas! |
 |
| Air Mail Envelope (photo from Andria's blog) This is a wonderful tutorial from Andria's Drawing Near Blog for making little notebooks from airmail envelopes. She has some other good ideas too - like make your own washi tape -- check it out.. I know I"m inspired to make some. |
 |
| OUTGOING MAIL Told you I have been busy! All of this mail went out on Friday...... |
 |
| OUTGOING MAIL ..........and all of this will be on the way today as soon as I finish this post... I have only gotten six holiday cards so far so I am sure hoping my incoming mail picks up this week. |
 |
| BONNE FETE Or, maybe, like they do in France people will be mailing out New Year's Cards instead of Christmas cards. A good idea since everyone celebrates the New Year. Hope all your mail boxes are fat and happy and you are sending out lots of mail to cheer your friends, SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
