Well, Dawn, this was a great idea for a challenge and now I've got one more in my stash. I love this mailbox image from Paper Bag Studios. It was stamped with Tim Holtz DI, the post in Walnut Stain and the box in Pumice Stone. I cut the door opening and stuffed the thanks tag in.
I am thankful for happy mail days. I had two this week, one a REAL letter and card from my bud, RbD. I sat down with a cup of tea and slowly read her recent news. It was a gift. And the other was a package from that ad...you know the one...it's right over your left shoulder as you are reading this...Addicted to Rubber Stamps...I happened to click on the box (a few weeks ago) and what do you know, some stamps I've wanted for quite a while were on sale!!! Well, the box came today and on the front in big prints was: Here's your goodies...now isn't that something, announcing to the world you've got stuff!!!
Thanks for stopping by, I'd love to know what you think! Hope your weekend's all you want it to be.

There's nothing to beat real mail in the post - and it sounds as if you had the best of both worlds with new stamps and a real live old-fashioned letter. My uncle (who was the only music reviewer for the paper here to still be turning in hand-written reviews when everyone else had advanced beyond typewriters to computers) maintains that a letter has to be hand-written to be a real letter. Personally I am happy even to get a printed one. I know that as I tend to write long rambling ones my writing (if I'm writing in work) deteriorates as the pages go on, so I suspect my correspondents might prefer a printed one! I feel sad for my uncle that he can't write properly any more as his Parkinsons has got so much worse.
p.s - love the dimension to your mail-box.

It is so fun to get that happy snail mail that you can hold in your hand. There's just something really special about that. Love this great mailbox.
