MSM - Still Experimenting with Dots

Hello, hello!
I have still been making small projects here and there.  I have continued to experiment with security envelopes and dots.  Here are some of my other ones that I have created.

Circles in circles  - I did a few of these.

Watching sci-fi made this happen

Keep playing with paper and I will meet some of you in the mail!

This Week Brings . . .

Hello all!
I hope your summers are going well.  The cicada are singing here which according to the old farmers means our first frost will follow in 6 weeks.  I do not think they are right in this area, but its a saying and probably right up north. 
Anyway, what have I been up to this week.  Well I was camped out in the living room with the kitties while the hardwood floors I uncovered were finished!

BEFORE

There was a different carpet in each room and the hallway.  You can't see it, but this carpet is very very dated.

AFTER

Amazing that they covered these beautiful hardwood floors!

Also many folks that I correspond with ask about Lily, the foster cat.  She's doing well.  She's only lost a pound, but we are working on it.

 

I hope this finds you all enjoying the summer!

USPS to ship alcohol

In my efforts to get out the door early this AM, I heard the news that the USPS PostMaster General is wanting to get the bill through that would allow them to ship alcohol for flat rates. 
I would love this!  I sure hope it goes through as I have often thought of sending wine to my friends but the daunting task (more inconvenient than daunting) of finding a shipper has limited me. 
Here's the link

And as an FYI the bill has already been passed in the Senate in 2012.

Send William and Katherine a Congrats!

Hello!
I know I have not been posting much, but I saw this come across the Postcrossing Facebook fan page and I had to pass it along!
I am a royal watcher- from afar, nothing too sketchy, and I think I may have to send a card of congratulations to Prince William and Katherine.  Here is the link that will give you more details on the subject if you too are a little overly involved in watching the British monarchy's affairs. http://www.monarchist.ca/en/williamandkate/congratulations

Addendum:
One of my co-workers pointed out this was originally posted as a congrats for the nuptials.  I suppose it will work as a congrats on the baby too, right? 

Enjoy and have a great day!

MIA - Where oh Where did the Snailmailer go?

Hello all! 
I hope this finds each and every one of you doing well!
I know some of you have noticed my lack of blogging and while this is something I want to correct, the near future holds much craziness.  Recently, I started working at another facility to help out on top of my day job, gardening, yard work, and dealing with family issues that continue to demand a lot of my thoughts.

One of today's labor of love!  Home canned tomatoes

Until things settle, I will count the Make Something Monday Projects that I wanted to post, and when the season slows, I hope to be back and show them. I am also going to open postings up to my mail friends and you.  If you have an idea or have always wanted to try blogging without committing to a blog, consider contacting me.  I will still control content, but I have long learned collaboration yields more than a one woman show. My email is thesnailmailer(at)gmail
Let me know and until the next post, please be safe and happy!
