The Fabulous Face of Mail.

Good morning my friends!

I hope you are doing well.

Yesterday I was restless so I took a drive to Boulder City.

It's not very far but it's a good distance from my side of town.

The change of scenery was refreshing and I was drawn in to my audiobook.

I didn't want to stop the car because I was so engrossed in the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed driving around wasting gas.

Yes, I said it.

I'm not a do-gooder greenie.

My secret's out.

 

Incoming Mail:

 

 

This wonderful creative postcard from Limner at Oh Write Me.

 

A handmade postcard from a swap on Swap-Bot.

Apparently, all of the embellishments didn't make it through the postal system.

:-(

 

 

This is from one of my partners for another swap, Quick Notecard Swap #4.

 

 

This is from my partner Peggy for the Themed Messages RR on Postcrossing.

 

 

Outgoing Mail:

 

 

A pen pal letter on a fold-up stationery.

 

 

This is going to my swap partner for Notecard swap #2

(there's at least 10 notecards inside + a little something extra)

 

 

An official Postcrossing on its way to Colorado, right here in the good old U. S. of A.

 

That was all the mail for yesterday and it was all good.

 

Any mail I get is loved by me!

 

 

 

 

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.
