Mailbox Happiness

Pick up a pen
choose a card
write a few words
don't make it hard.

Tell what you're doing
what's around you
describe your setting
how someone would find you.


Oh, isn't this one of the most adorable postcards you've ever seen!  Such a darling little girl with her sweet puppy.  Honey by Virna Valentina in Russia.

LetterMo Day 9 Departing to various destinations which means as I write this post I don't remember...ha!

 Envelope Time~

It was time to make some new envelopes for sending letters and what-nots.  Variety is key, I like my options when picking one to decorate and send!


A lot of bright & happy envelopes to pick from for my penpals!


These are in the beginning stages of decorating, owls and hearts...purple and green  ;)


Yes...it's pink, a lot of pink and I love pink!  I hope whomever ends up with this envelope loves pink too! P.S. I think I'm done adding pink...hehe! 

Tell me, what are you sitting right now and 3 things around you?

Me:
I'm at my desk which is currently a total and complete wreck.
1. My little heater I can't live without in the mornings~
2. New pictures of the guinea pigs Meredith ordered from Shutterfly~
3. Burt's Bees Res-Q-Ointment, I love it and have used it for years~

Every day I write,
words come easier
my pen takes flight.

Some letters are shorter,
some are longer
the key is, my writing
is getting stronger.

Hello Thurdsay, you've come again!
Don't let this day go by without writing a friend.
Even though you've much to do,
writing your penpal is important too!

Postcards off to Malaysia & Netherlands


My Postcard Pal-Mariska from the Netherlands sent me this beautiful postcard filled with beautiful white sheep.  Love it!


Yay, this fantastic card NL-1627217 arrived from the official side (meaning not the forums) of Postcrossing, I couldn't be any happier! I always do my best to read and match profiles when sending cards and it's refreshing when others to too!


Oh how I love Forever Friends Bears by Hallmark, this postcard makes me happy and brings a smile! 

Why, oh why, doesn't Hallmark make postcards for us in the USA?  I know people would buy them and they already sell them in other parts of the world so it's not like re-inventing the wheel, ya know. 

Hello, Good Morning
How are you today?

Are you writing cards or letters
to mail along the way?

Send well wishes to friends
and loved ones both close
and far away.

Hearing from you
really brightens their day!

Today is Thursday and there's still time
to write a card and share what's on your mind!
Any card will do fancy, cheap and homemade too. 
Start with the greeting, your words will flow. 
Finish with your love and away it goes!

Goodbye mail,
you're on the way.
Here's to safe travel
and making someone's day!


It's been super busy over at the Christmas Card Round Robin on Postcrossing.   This is the most recent  stack of Christmas Cards loaded with Christmas Stamps that headed out to destinations worldwide.  If you love Christmas mail please feel free to join a group or two, I'd love to have you!

Arrived from Netherlands.


This series of Netherlands Postage stamps is the Kinderpostzegels, sold by the children in the Netherlands door to door and the proceeds benefit children's charities.  I love them and Princess Alexia is adorable!  Maybe I'll get lucky and receive the rest on more cards.


Let Heaven and Nature Sing, love this sweet little card.
