Snail Mail Challenge Concluded


February has been full of mail, both incoming and outgoing.    
I want to share the mail from the last few days of the challenge.  



Outgoing Mail:





Incoming Mail:

A gator in the swamp.  :)
From Penne M.
I love the stamps she included!
I took them out of the tiny envelope
to show you.

Gorgeous hummingbird from Rift


 I sent a Birthday postcard to Papa Visione
for his 88th birthday,
and daughter Gina Visione
sent this to me!

 This cinderella stamp was on the back!

She had hoped for 88 birthday cards,
but received 103 to give her dad for his 88th birthday!

I can't believe she is replying to everyone of us--
Such good mail, too!

And I showed you Jack & Ginger's invitation
to the Critter Dinner yesterday.

 Best parts of this challenge:

I made some new friends,
corresponded with blog friends
(from this blog and those at Bayou Quilts),
and reconnected with an old friend!

  2. It sounds like your letter writing month was a big success. :-) You make me want to start writing letters again. I need patient pen pals if I do. Very patient pen pals. Haha

    1. You are right--each one is like a gift. Some, like Gina's have little goodies inside, but the envelopes and postcards are gifts in and of themselves!
