mail

A pile of outgoing mail :-) I haven't sent out much mail lately and have been rather slow replying to people >_> This is only some of what I sent out, it was too much to fit nicely in the photo haha.


I bought some red grid tissue paper from an oppy recently because it reminded me of math grid paper, and I made some envelopes. I like how you can see the confetti inside :-) However I'm not sure how well it will survive in the mail so I put an address on the postcard inside and as an afterthought added some washi tape to the corners. I should stop being so cheap and buy some of those lovely glassine envelopes that look so pretty filled with colourful goodies.

      It's a load of fun! And it made it safely through the post so I will definitely be making more with tissue paper :-D

    This mail you sent out looks lovely. You are so creative. Your pen pals must be thrilled to get mail from you. I am grateful just to get a letter with a stamp on! I have just started following your blog and you are inspiring me to get back into letter writing and mail art (as well as purchasing a cactus). Thank you (rosetintedcrafting.co.uk)

    Beautiful. I love when the packaging is equally as exciting and fun as what's inside. It makes the small gift such an experience.

      thanks :-) And I agree- I spend way more time decorating the envelope than writing the actual letter :-P
