TEN WAYS TO MAKE YOUR MAIL MORE FUN!
1. Think of repetitive patterns. I used a rubber stamp to create lucky penny postcards.
2. Paint on the back of postcards. I like short words like Yes and OK.
3. Write (or type!) on unusual items: doilies, Christmas cracker tissue crowns, placemats from diners, maps, coasters, streamers.

4. Use vintage stamps to make up the correct amount of postage to send a letter. Combine stamps with similar themes or colors for a pretty collage on your envelope. Or repeat the same stamp until you have enough postage.
5. Air mail envelopes. Use them. Often. (With Superman stamps if possible!)
6. Take large sheets of printed paper or gift wrap and cut it down to make your own stationery and envelopes.

7. Learn to marble paper. Then write on these beauties.
8. Stitch hearts around sweet messages.
9. Carefully turn an air mail envelope inside out. Glue it together. Love that those hidden patterns are no longer hidden.

10. Tuck something like an old photograph or a child’s drawing inside. Little surprises are the best surprises.
