Day #242

Good me. I sent a nice thank you note to our hostess for New Year's Eve. Also wrote a letter to someone new who wrote as a result of reading this blog (and thank you, Anna, for the nice things you wrote!). I also wrote short letters to each of my 11 Compassion children, including a picture of Buddy, the puppy I'm bottle feeding. But those were sent electronically, through Compassion!

I love the cute little puppy in the postcard from the Netherlands--I was her very first post-crossing card. Also was very happy to receive a letter from Elvis-fan, Denise in North Carolina!

Day #228

I got a book of these old fashioned Santa cards, and I'm enjoying sending them out. This was one post-crossing card and one to a penpal....and then a letter to a penpal. I love the envelope!

I have such clever friends. I loved the "inspired" card from Kimi and the great "heritage songster" envelope that Marian made. Also a postcrossing card from the Netherlands and one from Jenny.

Day #224

Today I wrote my last letter to Soldier Amanda, who is coming home soon, and answered a Swap Bot letter. This was a getting to know you letter to someone on Swap-Bot. We could not possibly be more different, so it will be interesting to see where (if anywhere) this goes.

I also sent Amanda a Christmas card.

And I wrote countless Christmas cards to soldiers through the Holiday Mail for Heroes through the Red Cross, who will pass them out to hospitalized soldiers who need a bit of cheering up. I'll send them all in a flat rate envelope on Monday.

I received a nice letter from Esther in Indonesia, a post-crossing card, and a letter from a penpal in North Carolina, who sent a couple of postcards from her state.

Day #206

This seems to have been animal envelope day...I really liked these three envelopes

Each of the envelopes (animal and other) went to pen pals today, so I did a lot of writing.

Too bad the fall leaf kind of crumbled on the postcard from Melanie, but it was a nice idea. Also two introductory snail mails which I am looking forward to answering!
