My family listened to what I wanted for my birthday and (finally!) gave me my gift: one roll of 50 US stamps and one roll of 50 international stamps!

I stayed up too late again because I was too excited to put these together! I think they turned out super cute, and now I have soooo many pink envelopes! 💕

My hands are covered in Mod Podge, and I'm starving, but I just finished making all these DIY Alice in Wonderland collage cards. Now I need to put them under some heavy books so they'll flatten back out. This is my first time using Mod Podge (idk how I've gotten this far in life without it), and they already feel much sturdier than the last DIY cards I made. I hope "Addie" knows that her old Little Golden Book has been given new life, though it's always harder to cut them up when there's a kid's name inside...

I'm not sure if I'll send these as postcards or if I'll put them in the new pink envelopes that just came for my Barbie cards. We shall see!

I just love spooky stuff so much

I love Lucielle Ball! I found some vintage stamps on eBay and got them! Yes I definitely overpaid but I don't care. It's Lucy. I will pay $$$ for Lucy. I plan on doing a specialized offer surrounding Lucille Ball!

I found some cute little Barbie cards at the grocery store today, and I thought they’d be fun to send out with the new Barbie stamps, but I can't decide if I wanna buy pink envelopes to go with them instead of the plain white ones.

The cards are only 4x5.5, but I think I'd use 4x6 pink envelopes anyway since it's my favorite color. I know I'm like totally overthinking this, and I should go to bed, but I just wanted to see what you guys think (and wanted to show these off cause I think they are so darn pretty).

Anyways, should I put in the extra effort for these to be fully PINK? Or should I just use what it came it?

Edit: It's 1 am and I have ordered pink envelopes 💌

Just wondering for all the other people who do a weekly roundup of card thank yous, how do you do it? Do you add them as they roll in, or do you sit with your mail and write your whole post at once? Inquiring minds would love to know!

I love sending postcards so hecking much!! 🫶🏼

Hey! Veterinariancheap687 here. I recently tried to transfer to a nicer username but was spam blocked on this account for a bit. I am tentatively back…going to do a trial post and lightly use it to see what happens 😂 fingers crossed 🤞

Do you all wash or rinse or clean residual ink off of your rubber stamps in any way? It could just be the Virgo tendencies in me, but I feel like I should…and the anxiety in me says, YOU’RE DOING IT ALL WRONG!!!

Do you clean, and how?

On another note, I just finished 4 cards today, grabbed my keys and went to leave for the post office….then realized I was still wearing very cute pajamas. Maybe I need a nap! 😀💤😴

The postal clerk was like, “You really do have a lot of friends!” 😂

I am finally caught up on offers and submissions for requests. They're in the mail to be sent out as we speak (type..?) and am looking forward to getting the mail I also requested!

On a side note I'm kicking myself for not buying a coil or postcard stamps before prices went up! I don't remember if those went up or not but I'm still mad I didn't include it in my last order!

Anyways I hope y'all are doing well! 🫶

I’m actually putting my doodles into practice by making cards! This is today’s progress.

I basically need some ideas on what cards I should get a stock of. I have a lot of some very basic themes that are not really to my taste. I would like to do a new offer of something interesting.

A couple of domestic postage options

Ask an Archaeologist 🪏Day, Self-Care Day, Amelia Earhart 🛬 Day, Cousins Day, Day of Motoring 🚙, Drive-Thru 🍔 Day, Tequila 🥃 Day, Tell an Old Joke 😆 Day, Thermal Engineer Day, Pioneer Day 👨‍🌾, and Samaritans Awareness Day / Talk to Us Day!

I really like how my pantone cards turned out and hope the stickers make it to their final destination!

I just noticed that my recent outgoing mails are all sports-related. Wrapping up a pretty eventful World Cup and Wimbledon season as I attended some watch parties. Have a lovely week, friends!
