It's finally here!
the first day of
National Letter Writing Month!!!
No one is in trouble for sending out mail early.... however, since Saturday, i have gotten 24 pieces of mail! Wow. That's what I get for not having one specific pen pal and having 138 pen pals, one Phanton Postal Person, one Wild Card player, 17 mystery writers and 2 wild and crazy happy cardmakers to write to!
Above and below is a pic of all 24 pieces. They are all fabulous! I did get a very large board that is used to wrap fabric on in stores from Joy.... i took two pics so you could see both sides. It's HUGE. Down to the smallest piece of mail, a courage chicken from little Diane ( i kinda love it alot!)
I have alot of mail to answer... so be patient and hang in there
The two pics above and below are from a mother and daughter team playing for the first time this year. I think mom is a fabulous photographer and daughter loves getting her mail! So happy to have Meghan and Jennifer playing this year!
the picture below is just the beautiful cards that
meghan and jennifer received on this first day of mail
below is some happy mail for

Melindagot all the beautiful mail below here
and that sums up our first day of mail that folks
sent me pictures of already. Stay tuned for more up close and personal pics as I get them and some features on some of our letter writers and their blogs.
leave a comment or two please!
the letter writers would love your feedback
Nice array of mail for the first day! I think the postal service gave extra special rush delivery!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!! I got one piece Saturday and one piece today!
ReplyDeleteOff to a wonderful Happy Mail beginning. I am awed by the creativity of some of this mail. Whew! The bar is pretty high. I think I will do the limbo and go low and lean (well not with this body!). Lindsay you are such a wonderful CHEERLEADER for us all. Thank You Dear!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Lindsay, and great photo selections. I'm so excited to be participating for my second year. Now if I could only figure out how to get my photos to my COMPUTER and not just have them posted from my phone. this new DESKTOP runs both Windows OS AND MAC OS (and all my pics are now in iPhoto, which i'm not familiar with) - so no more photo access via my windows OS. i'm rather lost ... but YOU BLOG LIKE CRAZY, girl. love it! - Davi

ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome blog post!! I have gotten 3 pieces of mail so far!! Yeeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post, Lindsay! Meghan and I are very grateful for our participation in NLWM this year. We look forward to checking our mailbox to see the beautiful letters sent to us by pen pals across the nation/world. It really is a wonderful feeling to step away from technology for a while, sit in a quiet corner, and create with your hands. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!
ReplyDeleteLove April! So much fun, the mail just takes over your life for a month. HAPPY!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my fifth year of being a part of Lindsay's wonderful NLWM. so much fun with the giving and receiving. Along with making new friends and learning new crafting tricks.
