Monday's Mail Madness

Monday is always crazy as far as mail goes! I don't go to the post office on Saturday (unless I have a tutu order that needs to be mailed), so I have Saturday and Sunday to get LOTS of stuff together (swaps, giveaways, coupon packages, etc) and then Monday I mail everything off.

Today, I'm mailing off two of my coupon swaps, about 6 packages of business cards (doing a swap with some other women on Etsy), 6 soaps, two tutus



a patchwork scarf, and a random selection of coupons to a friend.

Whew. This trip is going to be fun, fun, fun!

I have been doing well with being more "green" when mailing things. If I had a sewing machine, I'd probably ditch tape all together (on the envelopes, at least).. but I don't, so I am still using tape. However, I've been using all recycled bags, boxes, etc to mail things out in. I have done this for my personal things, have not done it for the business stuff yet. Recycled packaging doesn't always look the best, so I've been afraid to try it with the business. Opinions???

I will post again later. Off to the post office...

I just had to!

Okay, so I TRY (really try!) not to post twice in the same day.. but I just had to post this!! I just got a ton of mail and wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent me something (even if it was required for a swap lol) and I need to give a shout-out to

David Gallagher -- Any Three Words

He made this metal coin for me and Rachel! Rach says there used to be machines like this at the skating rink, where you could make your own. She used to collect them. I guess I'm not quite old enough to know about them lol. But anyway, we sent a donation to him via paypal and I just wanted to let everyone know about what he does!! He will print these coins for anyone, you just have to put in the order! It's FREE... but I think it would be decent only if you sent at least a small donation to him. :)



It says "RACHEL PLUS SADIE EQUALS LOVE". Sweet, huh?

I also got my love letter from Michelle at The Muse Factory. It cracked me up! I'm going to upload it if I get her permission.. it's hilarious. Though I tore the paper a little trying to figure out how to get the seal off. Woops! Rach is going to get a kick out of it as well. Oh, and she signed it "BYE TURD" ... haha that was the best part!!
