| Making my list and checking it twice... Were you naughty or nice? I always get in the holiday spirit a lot later than most people. I'm starting to feel it.... Got the Christmas tree...got out the vintage cards... |
 |
| SF Co-Op Holiday Party I went to the SF Correspondence Co-Op Holiday party on Friday night and that certainly helped with the holiday spirit. I bought a whole lot of these raffle tickets.... |
 |
| Because I really, really wanted to win this Postal Vending Machine... |
 |
| The lovely Miss Red Letter Day herself sold the raffle tickets but unfortunately I didn't win. |
 |
| Typewriter Wine Oh well, lots of fun anyway and some Typewriter wine to tide me over. |
 |
| Making photo cards for a certain someone (hope she doesn't see this - I don't think she reads my blog). Photos of Italy and Istanbul on greeting cards ready to be wrapped and mailed off. |
 |
| The traditional daily organizer - 2013 version to be made for me and another pal. They start off kind of ugly and.... |
 |
| 2013 Daily Planners Viola - they look cool now...complete with rubber stamped decorations inside. I use one to keep track of mail sent/received. Not too late to make some if you are so inclined. |
 |
| Planners I have them going back several years and they are fun mail diaries. |
 |
| 2012 Holiday Card-Making Time to get cranking out those holiday cards. Yesterday in SF it was cold and rainy and a perfect afternoon to work on my cards. Almost done. |
 |
| Took me longer to figure out which combo of vintage stamps to use to get the correct postage than it took to make the cards. Hope the folks who get these like them. |

| OUTGOING MAIL |
 |
| SANTA I hope I get lots of holiday mail-art too. And I don't know about all of you out there (in the USA) but the Postal Service here in SF is really trying this year -- I have had two mail deliveries every day last week. My wonderful letter carrier, Anna, delivers mail and packages once during the day and she has been back every evening, about 6PM, to deliver any packages that came to the sorting room after the first mail delivery. How's that for great Postal service? What are you doing for your letter carrier this year? Dear Santa: I would like lots of mail for Christmas. And maybe some vintage office supplies and old air mail envelopes. I wouldn't mind some old correspondence that you might find in an attic. I was very good.
