One of my big goals for 2020 is to send at least one piece of snail mail out every week. Keeping track of my progress here on the blog will help keep me accountable and I’ll also get to share with you some small stationery businesses. Maybe it will even encourage you to join in on the fun!
WEEK 9 (Feb 24 – Mar 1)
WEEK 10 (Mar 2-8)
Week 10 was a blur of sickness through our house, but I did manage to mail a birthday card to my cousin. This card is from Glass Half Full Studio and I added a little party confetti from Knot&Bow too.
WEEK 11 (Mar 9-15)
I sent a sympathy card for a middle school friend who just lost her mother. Her mom was always so kind to me and I know she will be missed by many. I debated buying a specialized sympathy card, but ultimately went with another floral watercolor from Cafe Notes + Company (and blank on the inside) because I wanted to get it mailed out quickly.
WEEK 12 (Mar 16-22)
Starting this week, the pandemic had us stick close to home, but that didn’t stop me from sending some mail! My dad and my brother were both sent cards from 1canoe2; they weren’t specifically birthday cards, but I love me a punny joke. I also sent out a little package to a dear friend nearing the end of her fifth pregnancy! The card is from Alexa Z Design. With the kids home from school, I sent along a fun book that the boys no longer read. I made the envelope from 12″x12″ scrapbook paper that I’ve had for years. (#frugalaccomplishment!) I unearthed this envelope maker from my craft stash and now I’m hooked! I want to make envelopes from everything.
WEEK 13 (Mar 23-29)
This was a tricky week in snail mail because I ran out of postage stamps! I ordered more on the USPS website, but in the meantime decided to use up more of my Birds of Land, Sea, and Sky postcard stash (and thankfully had some postcard stamps leftover too). Three postcards went out to grandparents and a sweet blog reader.
