DIY & Mail Goodies Giveaway

If you remember, for Christmas, I got a postcard stamp from Hobby Lobby, which apparently everyone loved! Well, I used it for the first time to make my letter into a postcard.

Choose your envelope and your picture (I used a magazine). Cut out the picture in two pieces to match the envelope, so that you can both see the picture and use the flap.

Glue it on. Now you have the picture part of the “postcard”.

Flip it over and stamp. Then fill it out to mail just like you would any other letter.

Finally, put cute things in it, of course. 😉

And that brings me to my first giveaway full of mail goodies!

In case you haven’t figured it out, I like mail, haha! Since everyone seemed to love the postcard stamp, I have one of those.

A large ink pad in black. It’s archival quality, waterproof, acid free, all that good stuff.

Random postcards & notecards. There are like 15 postcards and 5 notecards here.

And I’m also including some other mail related surprises in the package.

  • val gould

    Im a follower and I like short and sweet notes! alot!

  • For now short and sweet is the way to go for me (postcards are perfect!). I do like long letters because there is so much more in them- you can get to know each other better. Great giveaway! Maybe I’ll do one when I have my own two arms again, lol.

  • Oh my gosh! This has got to be the cutest giveaway in the history of giveaways. I just love that stamp! 🙂

    I personally like short and sweet notes. It’s so much fun to send random ‘thinking of you’ surprises.

  • I’m already following you on Google and I’ve just became a fan on Facebook. As a snail mail fan I prefer long letters.

  • I’m following via Google & Facebook.

    I really love to send silly personal letters to my friends, especially those who live far enough away that we rarely see each other. A personal letter is way better than an e-mail.

  • I found you through Comment Love Sunday on Blog Lovin’!

    This giveaway is rad! That stamp is so cool!

    I always get postcards, but I prefer long letters! I think it’s because I miss them! With all this technology around, what is there left to write about? I think since my blog talks about my life that a letter would just be redundant! But I still love them!

    Glad I found your way cute blog!

    i liked you on facebook, followed you on twitter (and retweeted) and added on google connect.
    🙂 I like long letters talking about music, books and generally stuff that we both like as well our different experiences. but i love postcards too, since they are nice to collect, and the messages are short and sweet. 🙂

  • I’m following you via Google connect.

    I love short and sweet notes, cause they make me smile. I miss getting long letters (and my penpal days, for that matter).

  • Hey! Fantastic giveaway 🙂
    I love receiving any kind of letters but I especially love when people let you into their life. I find it so fascinating that we can be so personal with strangers.
    I mostly write about my life but it really depends on who I’m writing to.
    I definitely prefer longer letters to shorter ones.

  • I just subscribed to your blog via bloglovin. I like to read short and sweet letters from friends but from a close friend nothing is better than a long note about serious things on notebook paper. I think it takes me back to middle school days.

  • I’m following you through Google Friend!! 🙂 I would love to be able to make my own postcards – especially out of photographs I take!

    I like any kind of letter – but I think it’s great to receive a perfect little note; it can brighten your day in just a sentence!

  • I LOVE writing letters. I probably write around three a week because I not only like to share my life with people, I like to make them feel special and connected to the past somehow by the tradition of post.

    I write looong letters. I am probably wordy, but I just like to tell people about my thoughts and happenings in my life, and ask them lots of questions. I think that paper and pen allows me to think more clearly than anything else, and I hope my friends receive something non-surface-y and hug-like when they open the envelope.
