There's a lot of love in this card. It's for my mailman. He retired after being my mailman for practically my whole life. When I was a kid I used to go out and chat with him all the time. When it snowed, I made little snowmen on the top of the mailbox for him. He even came to see me in my high school play. And since I bought my house a mile from my parents, he's been my mailman for my adult years too. Now his wife is my mailman. I live in kind of a magical place. LOL!
His retirement card had to use the faux postage technique and the stamps needed to have fish, because I used to tell him all my fishing stories when I was younger. So I found these fish stickers. But I also found this pillow to inspire my background. Tied my "package" all up with twine and had to add a tag with hearts and a thank you.
