I went to the Post Office nearest my eldest son's school to post these two packages ...
AND the lady working there said
"Oh I love these envelopes with drawings on. They are so much fun!"
Success!

Happy Mail Success ...
Continued from my earlier post today ...
I went to the Post Office nearest my eldest son's school to post these two packages ...

And there's two more ...
I had another go last night...
I finished colouring and doodling one envelope that is not yet been allocated a recipient; and I also doodled on two more that I knew were going out today.
And I addressed these using my Berol Calligraphy pen - it's been a long long time since I used that!
They are not brilliant I admit it! However it's giving me enjoyment to create them and I can only get better!

Stationery with an "e"!
I love stationery!
All of it ... notepaper, cards, envelopes, notelets, notebooks, notepads, journals, tags, postcards, washi tape .... all of it!
I am a Independent Phoenix Trader - hence the "Phoenix" part in the name. This is an absolutely fantastic job to have! I love all the products and I get to sell them. (I also get to use them myself which is just a nice cherry on top!)
Does anyone else love stationery as much as I do? Did you know that you could work alongside me as part of my team? I would love to have you along for the stationery (ha ha!) ride! If this sparks a little interest in you then please do contact me (with no obligation at all).
It is brilliant as it can totally fit into your life - you can do as much or as little as you wish - but remembering the more you put in the more you get out!
Okay ... now let me tell you something else that I've recently "discovered"! I guess I always knew it was about but never really looked into it that much.
I am talking about decorated envelopes ... mail art ... illustrated envelopes! Oh my! I was on Pinterest the other day and stumbled across some pins showing it ... and that was it ... I spent (wasted?) almost a whole day on it!
Do go and have a nosey and hopefully you'll agree with me!
You see one of the other things I like to do is draw. I have been sadly neglecting that past-time recently. So ... I have picked up my pencil and pens and I am having a go! It is early days and I am experimenting with different ideas and colours. My first attempt went out in the mail today to a very good friend of mine.
What do you think? I thought I'd try something bright and happy. I rather like the fact of the colourful and artistic (hopefully!) envelopes going through the mailing system and maybe bringing a smile or two from the Post Workers and the recipient too!
Oh and before I forget one of my pet hates is STATIONERY being spelt wrong! An extremely easy way to remember that stationery has an e for envelope in it which is apt considering envelopes are an essential part of stationery!
Anyway, moan over ... and here's to Happy Mail!!!!
