Oooh! Cooler today! Today's high is supposed to be 82--downright fall weather for here. Still no fall color in the trees, but it felt good to be outside, drinking my coffee, and planning my day this morning.
I ordered myself a new Kindle which should arrive today. My current Kindle is acting weird and fear of being without anything to read was causing anxiety. Most of my books now are ebooks from NetGalley--so I need a reliable reader.
Outgoing Mail
Chrissy sent me the postcard below to send on to someone else.
I sent it to Suzie in New Orleans.
The grands will get actual letters instead of postcards this week.
Each letter contains a little banner with pumpkins, ghosts, and a bat.

| I always try to get a cat on B.E.'s mail. And there is my new Snail Mail stamp. |
 |
| On Mila's, I used a small fabric piece with El FanFarron (braggart, showoff) from a 2012 fabric collection, but I've cut so many of these Loteria card pieces that at some point I cut off the designer's name. |

| The skeleton and washi tape on Max's are from Tim Holtz collections. And I love the vintage postage stamps. |
Lucky grands to get such fun mail! I am sure they watch the post closely. Your new Snail Mail stamp is more fun.
ReplyDeleteLucky me that I have such fun making their mail! I'm really pleased with my new stamp. :)
DeleteWe've had it unusually warm for the time of year this week. Not at all Halloween-like!
ReplyDeleteWhile some areas don't think 82 is all that cool, it is for our area. :)
DeleteThe grans are sure to be excited about their letters! And, thank you for linking up the rubber stamp. I've been looking for a stamp for my studio stuff so I'll have to check those out!
ReplyDeleteI looked at several online shops for custom stamps, and The Stampin Place had a reasonable price and a cute snail design. I'm very pleased with it!
DeleteWhat prized collections of snail mail your grandchildren will have! Love the vintage stamps, too. I'm so happy it's a bit cooler. I saw it is snowing in Colorado, so I'm appreciating our more moderate fall weather. SIL Patty's in Alex so she's probably glad to miss the season's first snow. I would be.
ReplyDeleteThe movie monster stamps and the Sleepy Hollow stamps make a good team to get almost perfect postage. We are almost half-way through Oct. It is time for cooler weather! Is Dave with Patty, or did he stay home for the first snow?
DeleteOh!...Like magic, this morning that crazy blogger/google problem is fixed after 3 days of being a nobody recognizeable! I love your creepy fun Halloween mail! Awesome mail art and terrific postage stamps! So perfect. That cartoon at the end is so funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie! Halloween mail is my favorite kind for decorating--so much fun. :) I love the gorgeous Halloween quilt you made for your daughter. What a great gift!
DeleteThis post was such fun! Love the cartoon!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are some really good Halloween cartoons! Halloween characters lend themselves to good jokes. :)
