Bunny Rabbits, a Dog, A Movie Star, A Vaction Spot,100 Year Old PC, An Education and a Letter

Hello my friends.

I've been feeling so good lately, until this morning.

My hands, fingers, and wrists have pain and stiffness.

But I'm in a great mood so that helps.

 

I've received some great mail again.

 

A cute bunny rabbit that Sasha would have loved to chase.

This is from 2013 pc #12 swap.

 

 

Another cute bunny rabbit sourrounded by lots of color.

This one is from Mariska in the Netherlands.

 

 

A dog rolling around in the grass.

I have a soft spot for dogs of all kinds.

This is from my swap partner, Irene for the RR on postcrossing.

She lives in Russia and this is week 1 of 4.

It takes awhile to receive Russian mail, sometimes a full month.

 

 

This is an image of Greer Garson, taken in 1939.

This is from the 2013 PC swap #12.

 

This is from the Simple Postcards #2 swap.

It is a favorite vacation spot of the sender.

I looks like a very serene place.

 

 

 

A vintage Easter Card over a hundred years old.

This comes from John in the UK.

It was a used pc and he recycled the back of it leaving some of the original area still visible.

I am an avid collector of used vintage postcards.

I've never seen one that was used twice, maybe this one will double in sentimental value.

 

 

An education in the anatomy of an eye.

 

 

A letter from Kimmie in New York.

The envelope is the prettiest gray color I've ever seen.

 

 

I've been trying to get more letters out as well.

Here's what I sent out yesterday, starting with the postcards.

 

 

A Postcrossing traveling to Belarus.

 

 

A Postcrossing going to China.

 

 

A Postcrossing on its way to Russia.

 

 

A Thank You card for my LEP partner.

I have no other way of reaching her to let her know I received her package.

I've already scoured the members of LEP and did not see her name anywhere.

I don't have an email address or a blog address.

Are there any other LEP members who read my blog?

How do you let your partner know you've received her package for a mail challenge?

Do you make a comment on the LEP blog or do you email Julie?

How do you handle it?

Would love some input on this matter.

Thank you!

 

 

A Pen Pal letter.

 

 

A Pen Pal letter.

 

 

Another Pen Pal letter.

 

That's all the mail from yesterday.

 

I probably won't be as busy today since my hands aren't working as good, but I'll do my best.

Have a great day, everyone.

 

A Ten Year Love Affair.

I love Sundays.

Sunday is the day I sneak off to meet with my endermologist. 

I cannot keep it a secret any longer.

I want to shout to the world how good I feel every time I leave.

This love affair has been going on for about ten years now and I think I will never put an end to it.

Some people get pedicures, acrylic nails, massages, etc. 

I on the other hand, have a tete a tete' with my endermologist once a week and I love it.

My husband doesn't mind at all that I look forward to seeing Shelley each week.

In fact, I think he likes it.

Are you surprised that my endermologist is a female or that my husband doesn't mind?

I know by now that your imagination has conjured up all kinds of lurid scenarios, hasn't it?

Well rest assured, that it is all innocent and that if you had an experience with Shelley, you'd be hooked too.

Now, get your mind out of the gutter and go google endermologie.

 

Here's some mail to get your thoughts back on track.

 

 

A pretty package and nice gift from my penpal Rachael.

 

Here's what was inside:

 

 

A really nice note card set.

I really like the designs.

They are very pretty.

 

 

 

She enclosed this cute card with a nice note written inside.

 

 

A nice multi view post card of Yosemit National Park.

This is from a swap I joined, "A Postcard in The USA"

 

 

Another postcard form a different person, same swap.

I really fell in love with this card.

It's a photo of Zane Grey, the author of numerous western novels.

The weird thing is that I was just talking about him a couple of weeks ago.

I think it's Synchronicity that I got this card in a swap.

I love these type of cards because they capture a mood, a personality and evoke feeling.

 

That's it for Saturday's incoming mail, but it definitely made my day.

 

I sent out two letters yesterday.

 

One to a penpal and a thank you to my nephew's in-laws.

 

 

I got the beatnik stationery for Christmas and I used every peice of paper in this one letter.

Now, I have these cute envelopes with no matching paper.

I did however, get two sets of this stationery so I suppose I could make copies of the paper in the 2nd set so I can have more paper to go with the left over envelopes in the first set.

 

The second envelope in the photo is handmade by me.

 

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year's Eve.
