Day #295

I was catching up on stuff that had been recorded on our DVR while we were at Easter dinner last night, so I only got a postcard and a letter ready to go out this morning.

The postcard went to a school which joined post-crossing to get a view of the world.  I thought that this old schoolhouse in Old Sacramento would be interesting for them.

I also wrote a letter to my sponsored child in the Philippines, but that gets sent by e-mail through Compassion, Int'l.

There was a great bunch of incoming mail.

Two great post-crossing cards, from Spain and Finland (including one of the great Inge Look cards) and a wonderful Swap-Bot card from Perth (Western Australia).  Then there were three penpal letters, and one Swap Bot letter from someone with whom, I think it's fair to say, I have absolutely nothing in common.  But that's the breaks when you enter into a random swap.  Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.

Day #288

All post cards going out today, including three from a set of Titanic cards, looking forward to the upcoming 100th anniversary.

 

Incoming from Donna and Shelley (who included some fun stationery for me to use), and a postcard from Slovenia

Day #261

One out and one in today. I really liked the envelope, going to Donna. (I don't know who the kids are; this was a page from a newspaper insert.)

This is a Valentine's Day card and brief note from Sheila.

Day #258

Just one letter written today.

I'm kind of stymied because I still don't have a working printer, so I had to hand write. I know I should just hand write a bunch, but my handwritten letters bore even me. But for short notes they are OK. I liked the little Valentine picture on the envelope, though.

Of course no incoming because the post office refuses to deliver mail on Sunday. Harumph!

Day #257

I got several letters mailed off today, including one Post-crossing card. Not sure how many I will get out in the next few days, since I am presently without access to a printer. If I'm lucky, we will get my new printer installed and I'll be back in business again.

I received my first Postcrossing card from Malta today, and a letter from Donna in Oklahoma.

Day #238

Actually wrote quite a lot this morning... a Christmas card to a friend in Australia, a postcrossing card and replies to 3 pen pal letters. And then I baked more cookies!

Good mail too...The postcrossing card is unusual because it came from a GROUP, so no message but a whole bunch of signatures. There was also a great letter from The Pen Thief (who writes wonderful letters), a LWA pan pal and a letter from Fred in the Philippines.

Day #207

I wrote two penpal letters today, and sent off a list of 10 quirks.

Only one incoming, but it was much appreciated. This is from Theresa, my 4 year old sponsored child in Ghana. On the back was a tracing of her hand, which seems so tiny!
