The day I wrote 9 letters

I do write a lot of letters, but 9 heading out on one day is prolific even for me. This is what I did with my spring break.



These babies all headed out on March 19, so yeah, I'm behind on this happy blog... but I think it's apropo of the timing of snail mail... you just gotta wait for it, and that's part of the joy. Plus, these letters have already arrived by now (I hope!); I hate to ruin the surprise of letting recipients know exactly what their letter is going to look like before it hits their hot little hands.

More Emily with black cats

Another beloved Emily the Strange fold-and-mail, Emily's Black Mail from Chronicle Books. I love the cute-yet-dark feel, plus the black cats.

My own feisty kitty, Magic, is featured with jack-o-lantern on the photo stamp.

I sent this in response to a lovely item I got from a fellow fountain pen user, who had seen me both on The Fountain Pen Network and sendsomething.net. What a fun surprise! Unexpected mail is its own special joy.

Emily the Strange sendsomething

This puppy went out through Sendsomething.net, to a fellow bat enthusiast. I included a bat stamp from the pollinators series, and bat stickers on the back. You may not be able to tell from the photo above, but it's sprayed with glimmer mist. It was one of the gold colors - antique brass or gold, I think.

write - lick - fold- stamp - nap

Love it.

Words to live by.
