Good Mail

before you read this, just think about what it would be like to type all this up & add photos and then watch it delete before you eyes... yes that was my morning.

How can I not brag about my good mail this week? I love running to my mailbox and discovering treasures and love wrapped up in envelopes. I have sent a plethora of good mail this week in very odd packaging that I hope will make it through the mail and not get sent back and it has been wonderful to think of the smiling faces when they find what is inside.
I really want to start taking photos of what I send to remind myself, I have said that to Jill 100 times and still I get too excited and package it in the mailbox with out any photos.
I am a total padded envelope recycler(not a real word). As some of you may have found out. My goals is to resend any padded envelope that gets sent to me, so I know that I am keeping the good mail cycle flowing. If I ever have any envelopes laying around, I know it is time to pass on the goodness.
Here is some tangible generosity I found this week.

A darling black and Pink card from Heather S. She had knit me a scarf this Christmas, and i had finally sent her a thank you and then she sent me a thank you for my thank you. She is the very nice gymboree hunter of the shirt months ago in Arizona. She is an original Pink Christmas gal from 2006.

My mom sent this thank you card that was pretty funny and I loved seeing that she has her own good mail labels from Jill.
Jill, sent a thank you for some attire for Whitney and it reminded me that, that was some of the most exciting mail I sent all year. I love sending something and just thinking of what they will think when it arrives on their doorstep.

Ms. New Home owner Amy W had a birthday recently and can now wrap herself up in ribbon and bows and she wrote me a thank you to tell me so!

Liz also had a birthday and wrote a nice thank you. I have not see Liz for over 6 years and I was amazed recently at her memory of when I had my gal bladder taken out. You have a quite a memory my friend.
Mindy shared her favorite Easter treat! My kids asked what is in there, I totally lied and said, "oh Nothing!" thanks Mindy.
In my love for stamps, Amanda S. sent this package covered with old doll stamps. These are some of my mom's favorites as mine too. Where did you find them? I love using many stamps on the front of packages. I am afraid she may have over stamped, but loved how many there were on there. On the good mail blog, there is a link to calculate your postage.
If you send mail regularly I strongly suggest a home scale. I use mine every day!

She sent a great jump rope that Annie Kate will wear out for sure. a darling notebook and the best! glitter eggs! girl did you make these? i love the idea of glitter plastic eggs. Thanks so much for your Easter wishes and I know you will be having fun at your house. She is so CREATIVE. Have you seen her scrapbook room?

Julie sent me a Superman plate that is PINK! I don't know if I really am superman but the plate will give me a reminder that I can do my best! She knows i am not fan of cell phones and so gave me a cell phone charm to give me a hard time. Julie, if i find my cell phone I will put it on there just for you! The card she made was such a great idea with tying the card shut on the side. thanks for my fun pink package!
she has also recently posted the "how to" make the roll recipe to teach your children about the Resurrection. this is a great Easter Sunday activity.


Later in the week my mom sent a fun package for Sally Jane's birthday which is tomorrow. She threw in a few things for me. Oh i am so lucky. I really can't post everything because you may become insanely jealous... hee hee, but here is a sampling. These cute spring boxes.



this stuff is liquid gold at our house. Mom where did you find this. we have been out for weeks!


and I loved that she passed on a book Jill sent her, she read and paid if forward by sending it to me. I am also thrilled about Sarah's quilt.

I also got a letter back from the Stake Presiden't wife who spoke at our R.S. conference. I had sent her a note with a self address envelope wondering if she would copy down a quote I was not quick enough to write down. She sent me a wonderful letter with the quote.

"through the power of the Spirit, we catch a spark from the awakened memories of the immortal soul, which lights up our whole being as with the gory of our former home."
