Happy Mailbox..

Hey everyone!! Happy Monday! Hope all is enjoying your day. I have had a pretty hetic end of October and hectic month of November. The last weekend of October I went out of town to my alma mater for homecoming, then I went out of town this past weekend, and on Thursday I am leaving for VEGAS BABY!!!! I am so excited becuase I have never been anywhere past the state of Louisiana and this is my first plane ride. Please wish me luck! Before leaving I am going to go to the post office and stock up on stamps and postcard stamps. So i can write all of you all or at the very least drop a post card in the mail. I want to do that my first night there. I'm soooo excited.

Let me tell you all my mailbox has been busting at the seams. I have received all the love and then some. So here are some pictures. I had to take them with my cell phone. I have for whatever reason misplaced my camara which hurts my feelings becuase I need it for my trip to Vegas. But here are all the goodies I have gottenI have gotten more than this but I had this mail on me to post. I love the post card that Limner sent me! Then I got a card/letter from a pen pal her name is Heidi too! Then one from Austrailia and Russia! I'm on a ball yall!

If you turn your head sideways you can see all the nice mail I received from Bev!

We were destined to be snail mail buddies. Bev got my name twice in a swap and plus she had already written me! awwwwwww.....

Movin on. This is a card that I got from my pen pal in west sacremento, california. Hands down its the best card I have gotten so far. I absolutly love it and whenever my friends ask me about how pen palling is going I pull out this card and show them and of course all the other lovely mail I have recieved too. You all didn't tell me pen palling was this fun!

Well I am to end here with a big Thank you from my mailbox to yours.! Enjoy your week!

Okay so guess who decided to finally find the Camera and post some pictures.ME!!! I am so excited about the mail that I have gotten and from here on out I promise to make sure I post the pictures of my income and out going mail. This is just some of the mail that I have received since snail mailing.

My list of Pen pals is slowly growing, i'm sure this same time next year I will have so many I will not know what to do with them. In this picture you can hardly see it but its a brown medium size manilla envelope that I received from Becky the Snail mailer. Her package was filled with all kinds of goodies that I LOVED and really appreciate. The Keroppi tote I got from a swap that I did from swap-bot I use it to take my pen pal supplies with me to work.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and thank you very much for all the mail received, and all the mail that we will exchange in the future.

Tomorrow is Mail Rally day across the United States. Most of the rallies begin at 4:00 in the afternoon and ends around 5:30pm. I posted a link so you can check your area and where the rally will be in your neighborhood. http://www.saveamericaspostalservice.org/map-list.html There is alot that can be done to support the mail service. If you can't make it to the rally tomorrow, make sure you keep on writing and encouraging everyone to pick up a pen and some paper and write! Have a good mail week!

THE WEEKEND..

Hey everyone! Hope everyone enjoyed there week and weekend....Monday will soon be here. If you are anything like me, then you need a weekend from the weekend. Thursday I had a really big mail day I had some post cards, A package from THE SNAIL MAILER!!!! YAY!!! THANK YOU!!! And a box from amazon where I ordered some postcards I looked like I was loved and I felt loved. I had the Kool Aid man grin, his grin was big, so just imagine me with that grin.

I spent my weekend trying to get some organization among my mail and all my mail nic nac stuff. If organization is not your forte then pen palling is not for you..lol. I did get a ledger so that I could keep track of what I mail out and receive. Its a nice ledger I found at Office Depot. Its hard back and when I was looking in my closet of junk this weekend I found an address book I had never used. I was excited when I found it. I had the feeling you have when you stick your hands in your pants pocket and find five dollars. I don't know about you but it excites me I feel like I found a million dollars. Tomorrow I will add pictures so you all can get an idea of the mail that I have received! Oh and too my first 7 followers thank you so much for just welcoming me with open arms. I would love to follow you all back on your blogs but I'm kinda confused and can't figure out how, it shouldn't be that hard..lol I will figure it out. Thank you!!! see you all tomorrow

HEAR YE HEAR YE...

I GOT MAIL!!!! YAY (THE CROWD GOES WILD)...I am pleased to announce I have gotten some mail! When I received my first post card I was estatic. I felt like I won a million dollars, and it felt great. I called a couple of my friends who knew that I wanted to start pen palling and using snail mail more and was like hey!!!!!!! I GOT mail!!!!!! I know i'm a little silly but seriously I was excited.

So I am sure you are wanting to know who I got mail from..well lets see..my first postcard came from non other than Missive Maven over at http://www.missivemaven.com/ and Misty over at http://pen-thief.blogspot.com/. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!! Look for a reply sometime by the end of the week. I also have done some swaps mainley a sticker swap and receipe swap..

So I have been having trouble finding post cards. I have visited some novelty stores but just havent found that right batch of post cards. I went online and I ended up buying some. I bought some from Zazzle.com and Amazon.com. I have already received the ones from Zazzle.com. They are pretty nice if I should say so. If anyone know of any other websites that I can order some Post cards from. Please leave in the comment box.

Well since I was away for the weekend..I wonder what I got in my mailbox??? Well you all have a happy mail week and talk to you soon!
