Recent Incoming Mail

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Sammie

New wonderful surprises in the mail box every day! Here are just a few recent arrivals (pardon the not-so-great phone camera pics.)

My friend Andrea’s currently over in the UK and sent me this oh-so-spot-on card. I absolutely LOVE making lists, and crossing things off them 😉

And such a cool stamp on the envelope too.

Some really, really lovely stamps on the postcard from Russia (my phone camera simply does not do them justice):

And another gorgeous stamp from Canada:

Love the polar bear from the US too!

Pretty Envelopes and Upon A Fold Order

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Sammie

Spent some time recently making up some new sets of pretty envelopes and mailing them off to friends. The pictures below are one set, two standard sized envelopes plus three tiny gift envelopes all sent in a larger pink polka dot envelope.

Packaged ready to go.

Envelopes ready to go, and a couple of postcards as
well. Isn’t the Sheriff guy creepy?!

A few weeks back I also got my first order from Upon A Fold. Not only did it arrive packaged with a gorgeous origami heart, the products themselves are fabulous. I got the envelope maker set, some cute rolls of polka dot washi tape and some really cool rolls of old book print washi tape. Yum! Can’t wait to start creating with them.

Little Mail Van

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Sammie

I love this little Hot Wheels van from my son’s car collection. The sign on the side says “HWPS – Faster than ever mail delivery!”

I couldn’t find this particular van, but there are a number of other mail themed vehicles on Amazon. Some are for the littlies, some are really cool and some appear to be very collectible.
