~End-of-Week Mail Bag ~

I'm absolutely loving all of the Halloween inspired mail!  What did you do on the 31st to mark this occasion?

 

Mail in from: Germany; India; The Netherlands;  US - California; Colorado; Georgia; Louisiana; North Carolina; Pennsylvania; Washington; West Virginia.  Where are you writing to and receiving from lately?

 

Working On: "Project Correspondence Catch-up!"  I have gotten shamefully behind with replies.  It is time to get pen to paper and have the outbound mail happening again.  What are you working on?

~ End-of-Week Mail Bag ~

Can you believe it is almost the end of October - Already??  Argh!  

Mid-week has very quickly turned into End-of-week in a blink of an eye.  You know how that goes.

The mailbox continues to be busy with an abundance of wonderful, colorful, beautiful cards/letters/inserts and gifties!! Isn't it fun to see the Autumn and Halloween inspired mail too? I can't help but smile with each and every envelope arrival.

The snailmailer and i are are fans of Project Runway.   We have been recapping/commenting, etc on each weekly episode.  The finale has concluded.  As you can see from above - her colorful and creative mail was more than we can say for the designer's creations this time around.  Ba-bye Season 10!  Hello All-Stars!  We are chomping at the bit in anticipation of season 2 and its colorful designers.  We are very hopeful for an exciting, colorful and print-filled season.  Come on designers - Make It Work!

~ Mid-Week Mail Bag ~

The past two weeks have been very good for the mail bag.  So nice to hear from new and old pen friends as well as some long lost pen friends too.  Needless to say, I'm deep into the pile of mail, working on replies.

What are you working on?

~ Autumn Goodness ~

Autumn - what is not to love about this time of year?  This is my absolute favorite season and has been for as long as I can recall.

Autumn means enjoying:
 Crisp mornings and evenings
 Cooler, mild days
 Beautiful tree colors
 Weekend adventures of long drives and picnic lunches in the country
 Trips to the mountains for fresh from-the-farm apples and pumpkins
 Sipping on fresh apple cider - warmed or chilled
 Attending Fall & Craft Festivals
 Indulging in Festival Foods such as:
  caramel apples
  fried pies
  corn dogs
  kettle corn
More cooking and baking efforts
Wearing favorite sweaters and cooler weather clothing

To Do List:
Setting up the hot cocoa tray to include :
           container of mini marshmallows
           containers of  homemade and store bought hot cocoa selections
           special mugs
           ensuring the fridge contains whipped cream
Putting up Autumn Door Decor
Planting mums in containers for the front porch
The beginning of endless leaf raking and bagging
Purging closets and dressers of not worn, no longer liked, wanted or needed items
 into donation bags
Changing out seasonal clothing.
      
One thing I have been doing this year with my collection of correspondence items is to group and use by theme or season.   I've picked out all the traditional fall colors and items such as pumpkins, apples and leaves, etc.  My intention is to primarily use these items for all of my corresponding in October and November.  While Autumn does start in September, true Autumn for me starts October 1st.  I would like to know if you do theme mailings or select certain types or styles of stationery, note cards, etc for specific seasons or times of the year.
