Mail Tags Received...


As promised this post is about the Snail Mail Tags I received in return after my mailing out some.  You can read my previous post here or merely scroll down.  I was thrilled with the returned tags I received.  This top photo shows the ripped open mail from Annie of FreezeFrame blog.  Don't you love her beautiful wax seal on the envelope?  I certainly do! 


Here are the contents of her ever creative mail.  Not only did Annie fill out my mail tag I sent her she in turn sent me a tag to fill out and send back to her (which I did but didn't keep any photo of).  I was quite impressed with her artsy style of answers.


This is Annie's returned tag she sent me .  I love how she cleverly used Washi tape and letters to answer.  It makes for a very fun read.  Thank you so very much for playing along Annie!


Now this beautiful butterfly card is from my friend Theresa P (with no blog).  I have shared lots of wonderful cards and goodies Theresa has created and gifted to me over the years.  I adore her attention to details and the many layers of texture she achieves. 


This is the tag I sent out to Theresa.  Not very creative but I like the cheerful yellow paint chip and the grape sticker just seemed to be the right size and look.


This is a terrible photo I took...photography does not hold my interest long enough to practice and learn the skills it requires!  At least you can see Theresa answered my questions and mailed it back to me.  She also included a new tag for me to answer.  I did so and mailed it without a photo.  Thank you so very much Theresa and you know how much I love your creative style. 
I suppose people could go on and on and mail tags back and forth forever but I am happy with my initial questions and answers.  This is a good way to get to know someone...maybe a pen pal.  I will definitely be ready for National Letter Writing Month this April and my newest pen pal.  Meanwhile I have mailed out several more of my Snail Mail Tags so we shall see if any come back to me.
The rain came and we got over six (6) inches in just two days!  We had a bit of hail this morning and are now awaiting the next storm tonight which is to have lots more rain and lower snow.  Our pond is full to the top and overflowing just the proper way Mr. C designed it to do.  No photo right now as it is also full of mud from the bogs that are flooded.  The annual frog convention should be really happy.  I think you can almost hear them from here.  I love to listen to the tunes they croak.  Ribbit...
I think I better get out my Easter decorations and enjoy them for a little while.  As fast as the days are zooming by, Easter will be over before I get my eggs boiled.   Wait for me Easter Bunny...
Embracing Creative Bliss each and every day...even if I don't have time to spend in my creative heaven I still get such bliss from everyday things...drops of rain, bulb flowers blooming, frogs singing, meeting interesting people and of course following each of you and what you are doing.

  6. The mail tag was quite the fun bit of out of the ordinary mail art. RAIN, OH GLORIOUS RAIN!...and snow too. So badly needed. We are so lucky to be getting as much as we are getting after the past 4 years of hardly nothing at all. We used to live on several acres with a huge natural pond and the froggies came every year and there were so many and they were so loud and went on and on and on with their "chatter" for two weeks straight. LoL

  17. Hi Sherry. Its been a while since I have gone to any blogs. I have been crazy busy. Love the idea of mailing out tags with questions. A lot of crafters are making pocket letters and in one of the pockets they include info about themselves. Its a really cute idea. I did make one for a swap but it was Disney themed. Next month we are also swapping a pocket letter themed with Disney princesses. So fun.
    Glad you are getting rain. We have been super dry here in Florida. I bet it will rain this weekend. LOL. In a way I hope it does, we need it. Crafty hugs, Ana
