Catwoman's Credo

I'm a little over-proud of myself for the suggestive placement of this Credo / In God We Trust stamp.

This is Catwoman fold and mail stationery by Chronicle Books.



Top open, slit top and sides - preferably with claws.

Claw retractor

Here's another of the designs from the Catwoman fold-and-mails by Chronicle Books. I have left it unlinked here because I do believe they're now discontinued. But I've still got a lot of 'em, so they'll keep hitting the mail routes.



I just love her hippity-hop whipwork. Badass.

Yellow Catwoman fold and mail

A few of my correspondents have commented on how sexy these Catwoman fold and mails are. I guess they are kind of edgy. This set is by Chronicle Books, although I haven't been able to find it on their website so I believe it may be discontinued.



She keeps Batman and Robin in line, that Catwoman does.

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.

Catwoman fold and mail

Here's one of the designs from the Catwoman fold and mail by Chronicle books. I can't find it on their website now, so perhaps it's out of print now. (Good thing I stocked up.)

The recipient commented on how sexy it was... and I replied that this is one of the more "tame" designs!



I'm really digging this new Poe stamp, too.

I can't believe my luck!!

The other day I was wondering around in my favorite el cheapo super-discount store, when I hit the jackpot in the stationery aisle -- a whole slew of Chronicle Books fold and mails on sale! These puppies retail for at least $8, but they were only a dollar a piece. Of course I bought out most of their stock. I got 5 (FIVE, people!!) Wallace and Gromit, 2 Catwoman, 2 Pink Panther, plus an Opus and a Mutts. Zowie. I have plenty of fold and mails now! Also picked up some cute notepads, too - not Chronicle Books, unfortunately, and the paper is not as fountain-pen friendly as I'd like (just in the little notepads; the fold-and-mail paper is great for FPs), but hey - it's fun to match the Catwoman fold-and-mail with Catwoman notepaper.

For anyone who lives in Massachusetts or Rhode Island, I found these in an Ocean State Job Lot. The various stores often have similar stock, so maybe you'll find some in a Job Lot near you!
