The first is this GIANT pair of goofy glasses from Kelly P.! How funny is this? Would you like to know something even funnier? I had a pair that I picked up at Target that I was saving to mail to someone. ( I did actually mail my pair today to someone who needed a pick me up. =) )
Next was this lovely package from Limner Cade. I honestly, no lie stared at the package a good 10 minutes before even attempting to open it. I just didn't want to ruin the wrapping. (and I didnt.) Once I got it opened though I found....
How cute is that fish?!?! I wish it would photograph better (but the flash distorts it) because that picture SOOOO does not do it justice. I haven't named it yet. Though I am going to. I am also going to do as Limner suggested and attach a bit of string to the back to hang it.
If either of you are reading this...THANK YOU!! Such wonderful gifts to find waiting in my mailbox.
I love fun mail! Have you gotten anything fun in the mail recently?
Am so happy it made it, and you like it. I thought I'd hate sewing sequins because I've never been good at sitting for long spells, doing things like that, but it was actually relaxing. I never thought I'd be able to part with one of my little fish creations, but it's getting easier. Misty, that one had my name on it. I think it's better off with you. :) Thank you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe sunglasses are way too much fun!

Hiya neighbor :]
ReplyDeleteDid you get my letter? I promise I won't bug you every time, I just had slight concerns about this one! I made the envelope myself and had fears that the glue would stop working for some reason, mid voyage. It was also bursting at the seams and I weighed it, well within regs, I just want to make sure it made the trip!
Now, be 100% brutally honest. Obviously it was long because its the fun getting to know you better stuff, but in general, what length letters do you prefer? I like anything, I LOVE learning about others, I just know that with some people, after one page they kind of shut down and they're bored. Whatever kind of correspondence girl you are, I will gladly celebrate that :] Just wanna know what style you like to keep your mailbox well fed!
Talk to you soon! :]
Hello Ms Ashley! I did indeed get your letter...yesterday I think. I read it and digested it. I have TONS to write back. As for length, I don't really have a regular length for letters. Usually I just write until I have nothing to say and then end it. Unless I am busy then I may just write the bare minimum (usually as much as they did) and then end it. So please don't worry about it. I will gladly read and respond to anything. =)
ReplyDeleteThose sunglasses from Kelly P are great -- she is very talented at mail art. A plate just arrived for me from her today--I burst out laughing when I saw it sitting on my front steps complete with stamps and a letters written in a circle.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, oh man! From now on I'll drive it straight to the post office. I put it in my mailbox to be sent on Wednesday morning. I swear sometimes the mail lady drives her frieken truck home without taking the mail back to be sent. I could drive it to you 10000x in that amount of time haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with letters, I love any and all mail. I just know some people zone out after a few paragraphs haha.
Have fun with your mail and thanks for the awesome blog. So happy I found it! All these great blogs inspire me so much and make me want to start one of my own. Around the same time I found you I stumbled across Limners blog too; imagine my surprise to see you two knew each other! Hi Limner Lady, I've been admiring your blogs from afar too!! :] I'm a bit intimidated by all of the talent.
