NMD

I coined a new acronym, which I am rather happy about--even though I've decided it has a negative connotation. That acronym is:

NMD

// meaning: NO MAIL DAY.

These past few days, I have received no mail. Which is terribly unsatisfiying. But I am sure that mail is on its way and shall arrive in my hands soon.
Until then, my mail is M.I.A. and my NMD continues! Haha!

Have a beautiful day,

Outgoing

Let's just say that today wasn't a fabulous mail day. In terms of incoming, that is.
Outgoing was all the rage -- I made a fair few letters and postcards, which I can't wait to send on Monday morning, bright and early.

Today was a lovely day outside, but I--regretfully--did not spend it as such. Instead, I slept in until noon and then had a luxurious breakfast, and then wrote letters to a few of the lovely people I've been thinking of as of late.
I didn't go to the beach. I didn't continue my tan lines. I didn't write a rap song. And I didn't remodel my future-bedroom.
I just wrote letters.

And it felt great.

 

For more information on the piece to Mr. Bill, see my next post.

Now, I'm off for a run.

Time to get out of the house.

Incoming

I keep having such wonderful mail-days that each one supersedes the previous one as "the best mail day". Today was no exception. I only received two letters today, but two that I have been waiting for a long time to receive.

The first was from J., a penpal from Australia:

And the second was from another J., although this one within the United States. Very glad it arrived!

In terms of outgoing, I am sending a letter to my friend B., back in Australia in the hope that his reply this time won't get lost in the mail.

 

 

I utilised both the new paper tape, and the new stamps for this "going green" piece!

What did you send out today?
Looking forward to hearing from you readers out there a little more often as I am now able to reply to your comments in a much quicker manner!

Cheers--

Incoming

Coming back to a pile of mail, as I have said before, is one of the best feelings.
Yesterday was extra special, as I received four letters from four of the most important people in my life. And each of their letters was absolutely gorgeous. I love that kind of mail day.
You don't need a lot of letters to have a good mail day--just some special letters from some very special people.

From my dear friend, the wonderful T.;

From my dear friend, the gorgeous A.;

From my dear friend, the lovely B.;

From my dear friend, the super-duper J.;

Love this kind of mail.
Wish people all over the world were sending more of it.
