Tuesday's Mail

Wow, I'm a tad late posting Tuesday's mail.
I must say, I made some progress on my outgoing.
 
Here's what I mailed today:
 
 
This lovely postcard is going to a LetterMo participant.
 
 
And this one is for A Postcard A Day Swap.
 
An actual letter going to a recipient who entered info in my postable account.
 
 
Another lucky recipient whose info was in my postable account.
 
 
And another recipient whose info was in my postable account.
 
 
A Valentine for a family member.
 
 
Another Valentine.
 
 
Paper books for a special little boy.
 
 
Paper books for another little boy.
 
(The boys are brothers and they are in my sister's life)
 
 
 
I still haven't sent replies to the LetterMo mail I've received but I will answer every piece of mail I get sooner or later.
 
 
Here's my incoming for Tuesday:
 
 
A beautifully decorated envelope for the decorate an envie with hearts swap.
Yes, I know the hearts aren't predominant on the envie but I still love it and rated with a heart.
 
 
And this gorgeous envelope came to my home mailbox and it tickled me pink.
It's a handmade envy from my husband's aunt and I love it.
 
 
 
She spent Thanksgiving with us and apparently I inspired her to make her own envelopes.
Her letter made my day.
And she used Betty Boop writing paper which is very very cool.
I adore Betty Boop.
Oh, and my husband's aunt's name is Betty too.

Penpals and Valentines

I can't believe the weekend passed by so quickly.
I haven't been able to write much at all.
 
Here's what went out.
 
Only three postcards including Saturday and today.
 
 
This is for A Postcard A Day Swap.
 
 
Also for A Postcard A Day Swap.
 
A Postcard a Day Swap.
 
I'm hoping to get some letter writing done tonight.
 
My mailbox had me smiling.
 
Here's what came in over the weekend and today:
 
 
An official Postcrossing card from Belgium.
The sender writes:
Hi,
I hope you will like this copy of an antique card of the train station in Rotterdam.
(The Netherlands)
Greetings,
Nick.
 
 
From Vronica, my postcard penpal in the Netherlands.
This is a fold-out card and has each of the three photos above as one individual photo when you unfold the card.  It's really nice because there's lots of space to write.
 
 
A postcard from another penpal from sendsomething.net.
She managed to get a lot into this space, just the way I like it.
I love Mexican food, so this card is perfect.
 
 
The pile of mail that came in today.
(smiles)
 
 
A letter, a postcard, a valentines' day card and stickers from Mendy.
 
 
A very nice valentine's day card, letter and stickers frorm Becky.
 
 
A most adorable sheep notecard and letter from Mariska.
I love it!
 
A Valentine's day card also from Mariska.
Who can resist Snoopy, especially in antoher language?
So cute!
 
 
A Valentine's Card from the lovely Rachael.
 

A letter from Lynn and some playing cards that I gave her to alter.
She did a lovely job.
 
Well, that's my haul and I must say I felt pretty spoiled today.
 
My goal is to get at least five different pieces of mail out tomorrow.
Or more.
