Three Year Anniversary

My three year anniversary of blogging passed me by a little while ago (Sept. 18th).  I'm really happy about my choice to blog and to keep at it through these three years.  When I first started I didn't have a clear idea what it was going to be about.  My first few posts were just about various things that I was interested in... horses for one!  I'm really happy how this has evolved into a mail blog and I've delved deeper into the wonderful world of mailart.

Also, since it's a special sort of occasion, I am having a giveaway.

Three winners for my three years.
The package will include some notecards, some handmade envelopes, and some artistamps designed by yours truly.

To enter simply comment on this posting and share something interesting!
If you are not one of my penpals (i.e. I don't already have your address) please leave an email address so I can contact you if you win.

I will randomly choose the 3 winners a week from today on Monday, September 30th.

And the winner is...

Laura!

Please send me your address at jouaient at gmail.com so I can send you the prize!

:-)

Thanks to everyone else for participating!

(and don't forget Mother's Day coming up! Send some postal love!)

50 Followers Give-Away coming up!

Hey everybody,

I just reached 50 followers today so I'm going to have a giveaway to celebrate!


More info to come soon.
In the mean time...

 stop and smell the roses. :-D

And the winner is...

Felicia in Canada!

And everyone else who entered will receive a small "consolation prize" since there were only 4 people total.

I have said this before... I think there is a link between cat lovers and letter writers. All four entries listed cats as one of their loves!

Not too long ago I found these two lovely books at Goodwill. I thought I would share the lovely cat illustrations with you now...
so cute!
