Shout-Out to Red Letter Day

Beautiful folds from Jennie

Make Every Day A Red Letter Day

Be sure not to miss this -- Jennie's Twelve Days of Christmas --  postally speaking, of course!
Love the envelopes. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Incoming Mail

Fabulous envelope and collage book by
Fast Eyes from SendSomething.

This was really fun - a one month Diary Postcard A Day Swap with
Leilx from Swap-Bot. I am really going to miss her wonderful daily postcards.

And from Alice in San Francisco - we both attended the John Held Mail Art Opening
and both shot photos that were on the LWA blog.
Hello Alice!

Lovely Stationary from Germany.
This contact from Letternet.de
Imagine, the German postal service has set up a pen pal website.
Why can't the USPO do that?
They would sell more stamps if they encouraged more letter-writing and Mail-Art.

A close-up of this cool envelope stamp. I wonder where Cal got it?

A faux stamp from Elle Mental

Great envelope from Shelita.

Cal from Good Mail Day blog post - the post that started it all for many people.

Great Christmas zine and hand-sewn card from The Fruid
SendSomething.net

My pal RO sent this lovely lady through the mail.
Love the card. Love the hair.
Thanks, RO.

My mailbox has been very happy lately (as have I).
I better get busy and start working on returning mail to all these great folks who have send me such wonderful stuff.
Next post will be Outgoing!

Send a Letter -- Get a Letter!
Keep the Post Office in business.

Sunday Colors (Red, White and Blue)

This is blue all right. With a little red thrown in. I don't think that is an official US Postal Service sticker!

Red, white and blue and just waiting for you to pop in some mail to make someone's day.

Okay....

Mail 'em inside the PO or out....

There are a number of rules with the post office.

Sunday Closed. No fun.

Here's the white...

Get those flat rate priority boxes ready for shipping Christmas presents.
(I like to make them as heavy as possible to get my money's worth)

These babies will be back on the streets tomorrow,
so get some letters and cards ready to mail. And, have a happy and peaceful Sunday.

SEND MAIL -- RECEIVE MAIL

In between making pies and cranberry sauce today
(Thanksgiving is tomorrow, an American holiday, for readers out there from other countries)
I am working on making some cards and
envelopes
and trying to write a letter.


Just added a link (on the left) for a fun blog
from a girl in Hong Kong (as she says)
who will make envies and send them out free to anyone who asks -- check it out!

More Mail Boxes

These guys have seen better days
but I think they have character 
(especially the one on the far right).

Kind of a country looking mail box in the city
right around the corner from my house.

Rather elegant, wouldn't you say?

Oh boy......

Now, this is really something - yup, it really is someone's mail box.

Not in SF but pretty close by
on the
Bohemian Highway.

Fill those beauties up.


Lots of great mail boxes around town, just waiting for some Mail Art
or a nice fat letter.


Remember, write a letter -- get a letter!

Cool Envelope

Maybe this envelope thing runs in the family.
My son made me these two wonderful envelopes years ago.
Why are kids so creative and free?
Today I am making new envelopes using the pages from the old typing manual.
Have a good mail day.
