St. Patrick's Day Mail

 I don't think that this above one was specifically St. Patty's day themed, but I can't remember.  I just went with green.

And of course there's nothing better to use for this holiday than the "Go Green" stamps!

 I sealed this envelope with a used one.

Recently I got a 1 inch hole punch and I had a lot of fun with it making this envelope.  First I did a little watercolor on the envelope for a background, then I looked through many magazines for different shades of green.  I wanted to just glue everything down, but in the end I used some packaging tape to secure it all.  Some of the types of paper just didn't want to stick.

And above is the finished product.  I actually still haven't sent this one out yet.  I'm still writing the letter. So I didn't want to ruin the surprise as to who it's to, even though I don't think she reads my blog.


Soon Clay and I will be heading off to South Boston to see the parade! I'm very excited. We missed it last year. Just completely forgot.  And then after that we'll be going to a game night at one of Clay's co-workers apartments.  (He works at a game and puzzle store.)  But I'll be paying for all this fun tomorrow morning when I get up super early to do work.

St. Patty's Day

Hello all.

So, you might not know but here in Boston today is an official holiday.   But not officially for St. Patrick's Day.  Nope. Technically we have the holiday for Evacuation Day, celebrating when the British left Boston during the Revolutionary War.  But of course this is just a big excuse.  :-D

Sadly, it did mean that I didn't get any mail today.

A couple people commented on how much mail I get.  Although I admit I do get tons of mail, for which I am super grateful... it may not be as much as you think.  I don't think I've received a single piece of "good mail" this week.  That is a bit unusual, but not crazy.  The big posting I put up I received over 3 or 4 weeks.

You have to send mail to get mail!
Speaking of which, feel free to write to me if you don't already. I'll write back though it might not be super prompt. ;-D

Right now I'm sitting on the sofa using Clay's laptop and listening to Paul Simon while Clay sits next to me preparing dinner.  Garlic smells so dang good.

I'll post some photos soon of St. Patrick's Day mail that I made recently... I'm too lazy right now.


Happy St. Patty's!

Love, Winnie's Girl
