Snail Mail Monday - #4

For this week's snail mail monday I decided to pick a friend of mine who just moved into a new house...and I am on a wrap-around address label kick so it worked out perfectly!

I whipped up some labels (they are about 5"x1"...just incase you were wondering!), and managed to fit 14 of them to a page!  Then I printed them out onto sticker paper (known to some as full page label paper)

Then I cut them up, and put them in this perfect little tin!  I ordered a ton of these tins awhile back and I am so glad I did...I never seem to have enough packaging items!

I hope that she likes them as much as I do!

And as promised a picture of what they look like once they are on the envelope!

 Look familiar??? hahaha, I am loving the bakers twine too...the only problem is now I think that I need every colour!

I can't believe there has been a month of snail mail mondays already!!! Time sure flies :)

Snail Mail Monday - #3

Okay so a super easy idea for today...my husband is home from work right now so I seem to have less spare time!

All you need to do ahead of time is pick of a pack of pop rocks...I mean who doesn't love pop rocks!

When you are ready to put it all together (by "all" I mean the label and the pack hahaha), just print the label...cut it out...

and tape it on! I love it!

These fit PERFECTLY into a little card!  Write your person a little note and send it off, sure to make someone's day!

Here is the label for you.  All you have to do is double click it - then right click it - save as picture.  Make sure that you put it into a word document to print it out or you will end up with a full page label!

Has anyone else sent a snail mail monday?  I would LOVE to hear about it!

Snail Mail Monday - #2

Since we are coming up on St. Patricks day I thought that I would come up with something simple, sparkly and green!

Here is the line-up...

The first thing I did was draw out 2 clovers...one bigger than the other. I drew mine out on sticker paper.

Then I cut them out, peeled off the backs, and stuck them to the green felt...WAY easier than using paper and having to pin it!

Then I cut out two of each and glued them together.

I put and alligator clip on the back...

and a rhinestone on the front!!!

These could be clipped on like a broach, clipped into your hair, or anything else that you can imagine up!

I packaged it up and mailed it off to two of my favorite gals!  I am not showing the envelope because the only thing fancy about it is the names and I would have to blur it out anyways!!!

Snail Mail Monday - #1

So this is it...the first day of Snail Mail Mondays.  After I posted that I was going to do this I could NOT fall asleep...I was up forever thinking about things that I could mail in an attempt to make someone's day!

Here is the first one...

I burnt a CD that I think a friend of mine will love, and wrote her a little note (I blanked out the names involved because she may or may not read this blog!!!)

I picked out a piece of double sided scrapbook paper, placed the CD in the middle and traced around it

Then I cut the corners out

I free handed (I am sure you can tell), the square edges into rounded edges, and then scored on the black lines

The edge pieces then folded up nicely...

I taped them down

and BAM...all ready to mail off!

Snail Mail Monday

The weather here has been CRAP lately...we are talking -32ish Celsius for what feels like weeks!!!  I have not been out of the house, or my sweats in days!  Last night before bed I decided that I was going to embrace the look good feel good philosophy, so I dyed my hair, and was getting ready to paint my toenails when one of the boys woke up.  I was up ALL night with sick kiddos...one of them took the 11-3 shift, and another one took the 3-9 shift, thank goodness the other one didn't take a shift...needless to say, I stayed in my sweats...dirty sweats, all day...again (well usually they are not dirty, that was special for today! hahaha)

 Also, my husband left for work on Tuesday, he is going to be gone for two weeks, and the fellas and I are missing him like CRAZY. I drove to Starbucks today (because they can make most things better), and their debit/credit machines were down so they were only taking cash...WHO HAS CASH THESE DAYS?!?!?!  On the way home I stopped to pick up the mail and as I was getting out of the vehicle I dropped the mail key in the snow, grrr.  SO basically a day beyond saving...but then, when I got the mail, there it was, a postcard!!!  Totally made my day...and it wasn't even for me hahaha!

Okay so I hope I haven't lost anyone with all my whining, I promise I am done!  I am now snuggled up on my cuddle chair with a tea, a cupcake (who am I kidding there are two cupcakes), my mac, and my new idea for a feature!!!

Starting this monday I am going to send a piece of mail, with some sort of special treat, to a special person!  Who doesn't LOVE good mail!!!

So be sure to check back Monday and see whats going out for this week's snail mail monday!!!

And if you have any ideas for fun things to send let me know!!!
