Last Minute Snail Mail

My sister sent out an amazing Christmas letter, and I know it's only a matter of days before I receive Dad's. I cannot let these two carry the Seibold tradition alone this year. So I "whipped up" this bad boy the other night instead of doing the dishes.

I think it was worth it...and hopefully by the time this post goes live these letters and my cards will be well on their way out into the world.

I believe in snail mail.

New Favourite Pen Pal

I have a pen pal! Hi Nicole!

It is in her honour that I picked up some sweet note cards on sale at Chapters the other day. We write each other notes, and send along a sweet gift. So far I have received a cute pair of tiny earrings (now where are those darn things...) and a great friendship bracelet!

I love Happy Mail of any kind, and these quick notes are a refreshing and inspiring addition to the routine of my week.

Now if I could only convince BFF that he likes getting little presents from me...

Does anyone else want to be my pen pal?

Happy Mail!

I love getting fun stuff in the mail! Too bad it usually means I had to spend some money to get it!

 I got this sweet package in the mail the other day, one of my last online shopping sprees before my self-imposed ban. I ordered these slick pens. The name of the game is "The 7 Year Pen". They have hi-larious little drawings on the side, and they are a really nice pen! Oh, and they are supposed to last forever! Or for seven years, whichever comes first. I bought Bacon, Geeky Glasses & "Need Coffee" with a little skull. Coffee already found himself a new home, as did one of those swank coffee ephemera magnets.

What I really wanted to talk about in this here post is the sweet freebies I got with my package! I love it when companies do this. A surprise "thanks!" for choosing to do business with us. I got a nice card ("I've got a sweet tooth for you"), that lovely "My Stache" postcard and a sticker about beans & rice.

And this awesome kitty button. I think this one is right up Dude's alley!

For this I will proudly promote their little site! Everyone check out Seltzer Goods. I recommend their Seven Year pens. And those magnets are very heavy duty, if you like that sort of quality in your magnets.

I think that when I get back I might put together some Happy Mail packages myself, and send them off in to the world. I hand-delivered one just before I left, and made sure to leave it as a surprise. We'll see what happens there.

Have you ever received any Happy Mail?

Have you ever sent any?

Maybe it's about time you got on that...
