Friday Mailday Funday

This has been a pretty shoddy mail week for me... until today!
This might have actually been a good thing because it was a super busy week for me, being my first week back in school and teaching. Now that it's Friday I have time to answer the mail too!

So many beautiful things:


a little card from my mom, a letter & goodies from Patty of JustLetterRip (such a great name for a mail blog by the way), a letter and zines from Taradactyl of APurpleRat and a letter from my good friend Kijjit the Fox.

Tara's letter & 2 zines, Toto & the TV

letter from Patty and stationery goodies

Kijjit's drawing & poem included in the letter

cute card from my mom


Also,
here is an idea I had for displaying letters. 
I had a photo that was quite small so it was hard to find a frame that fit perfectly.
So I decided to use a larger frame and use little notes my mom sent me as a background.
The photo is of my mom's parents on their wedding day.
My grandparents died when I was very young, but my mom tells me that my grandmother was a great letter writer.

Sorry for the weird angle, it was the only way I could get the photo without the flash blinding it.


Happy Mailing and Happy Weekend!!!

Mom's Birthday Card

Sent to my wonderful mom for her June birthday






For my birthday my parents gave me an awesome new camera. I'm still figuring it out though. It has lots of settings and I'm trying to find the best one for mail art!
