Monday Mailings

It was again a great week for mail. This is definitely a proof of the old saying about mail, "send a letter to receive a letter". I'm still working on my side of the bargain. I have been busy with the shop and haven't still fully caught up with the outgoing. There are a lot of things I've been working on that I'm just dying to tell you guys about, but I've made a decision to wait until after Halloween to start talking about Christmas... I think that's fair, no?

Anyhow, onwards to mail...

Outgoing



Let's start with the little packages going to Caddi and Bree. They won small surprise packages from the giveaway I organized a little while ago. I'm hoping they'll have them soon, but figured I could show the front of the envelopes without ruining the surprise inside... I wanted to make sure that as fellow snailmailers they'll get a good selection of Canadian stamps. So, naturally I went overboard again instead of using the two I could've gotten away with... Obviously 6 is better than 2 (at least when it comes to stamps), right?


I also sent more Halloween mail, you've seen them already. I figured I'll share these still, since I love the stamps so much. One of these is going to my Lovely letters partner Autumn. I used the same idea of the bat to send the second task to her.

I also sent quite a bunch of orders out, but you've seen the format for those already. I'll come up with something new soon, I hope, and will share them again.

Incoming
It was such a good week again! I got two pieces of mail from two people. (I mean from two people, two each. So, four altogether)


First to pieces came from Susanne. You know they'll be good. I got some candy, a lovely letter and a Halloween card. She made a comment earlier on twitter (you can follow me @HipsterCurious if you want, I'm fairly active over there too) about how similar our Halloween mail is. Obviously great minds work alike!

Take a look at that pumpkin stamp too! How awesome is that? Apparently Halloween is bigger in Finland than I knew. It has to be if there's a stamp for it. I mean, a stamp makes it official, right?


The second set came from Jess. She's the first person who's penpal ad I've answered. I found her on Julie's Penpal of the week and after engaging in some very random discussion about carrots, I realized I at least owe her a letter. She just replied and I got, not just a letter but, a postcard too. And they came on the same day.

I wonder what happened to the address label though... See? It's missing parts of it. Maybe it was attacked by a ferocious possum.

Yeah... That must be it.

So, did you get anything good in the mail last week?
