Mailbox Happiness

Good Day
how are you?
feeling happy?
feeling blue?
write a little mail
no matter your mood.

Oh dear, I'm behind on my mail...at least to me.  It seems that after not sleeping for several nights in a row, my brain wasn't really that interested in writing anything on paper (who knows what it would have been).  Last night was amazing, I slept all night which means I'm ready to get back to writing!  Yay!


Incoming Mail-the beautifully decorated envelope is from my wonderful penpal JarieLyn.  The Valentine card and other letter are both from Lettermo participants.


It was thrilling to receive this wonderful sheep card and letter from Jan, love the envelope too!


Mariska knows how much I love Christmas cards so she wrote her last letter to me on the adorable Pooh and Piglet Christmas card.


Cute new return address labels I just received, love that they are mail related!

Happy Valentine's Day!
I wish you a day full of love, happiness, hugs, kisses and warm moments with your family!


Adorable Mickey & Minnie Mouse Valentine Card from Mariska, so cute!

Whatever comes easy.

(A little note about the rhymes, poems I post here: They come out of my head just like you read them, good or bad.)

Here's a quick peek at a little of what went out yesterday.  The beautiful card on the left is by Emily Winfield Martin.  You can find her shop, The Black Apple, on etsy.  The cat is none other that a Kliban!
