Incoming, Week of July 23rd

I didn't get much mail this week, but the mail I got was great.  


Incoming:

I've been busy so I haven't been sending as much mail.  It's true what they say - to get mail you have to send mail!  Hopefully I'll get caught up soon.

No mail on Wednesday due to 4th of July holiday, but overall it was still a good mail week.  Lots of creative envelopes coming my way, as you can see :)

Edit: I just realized I had one piece of mail from two weeks ago in this week's mail pictures. I'm not quite organized yet!

Getting Organized: Before

Hello everyone!

I recently posted about my utter lack of organization when it comes to my mail, and asked for input/advice.  Fortunately for me, I received many great suggestions!

So, I'm now going to try to follow through by organizing my mail!

Stay tuned for my new and improved mail archive! :)

Incoming, Week of May 28th

This week I got mostly postcards from postcrossers (Germany, India and the Netherlands).

Incoming: a few letters and postcrossing postcards:

I love the idea of using old maps to make envelopes - another great idea for me to try!

Incoming, Week of May 21st

Another week, another batch of great mail to share with you.

Monday is a holiday here (Memorial Day) so I'll have extra time to catch up on my letters this weekend.  It's always a bummer when we have to go another day without mail delivery, but usually that just means my mailbox will be extra full on Tuesday!

So much great mail this week!


Friday was a pretty stressful day, but seeing my mail when I got home lifted my spirits :)

A letter from Marian (note the very cute paper she typed the letter on):

And a letter plus other beautiful things from a new mail art pal Barbara in Massachusetts:

Earlier in the week I got a letter from my friend Caitlin from college.  She sent me lots of beautiful stationery!

More mail from earlier in the week:

(On the right is a card my pen pal Stephanie made - she said she was worried it looked like it was for a baby shower, but I think it's adorable!!)



Thank you to everyone who sends me mail and/or reads this blog.  It brings me great happiness.

Lots of great mail this week!


I got a postcrossing postcard from Estonia - look at the stamp!












More mail:

Also letters from Stephanie and Marian.  I think I'm going to start making envelopes like the one Marian sent me -out of old magazines - I have piles of them and it would be good to do something with them instead of tossing them.

Have a great week everyone!

Wonderful mail this week!

Mail, Part 2:

Happy Friday everyone!

No incoming mail today, but I did receive some great mail earlier this week!

Another mail blogger posted a lovely question.  What do you love about writing letters?  For me it's many things!  I love the excitement of opening your mailbox to see what the postal carrier brought.  And I love that writing a letter is like sending someone a small gift, with a piece of yourself inside.  (I could go on, but I want to hear from you!)


So, what is it about the mail that you love?
