TH - A post card from the days of snail mail

It was very exciting back in the day getting a 

personal letter in the mail.

I wish that I had kept them all but I did find this

gem, again, hidden in my photo box and from Nana.

 I loved writing letters, but all my aunts that would

correspond with me are no longer with us.

Quite sad all the way around.

 My gram wrote to me as well, we wrote to each other everyday.

And I can't tell you how much that meant when we

moved from PA to FL -

sooooo homesick. I wish I'd come across

one of her letters but alas.....

So I'm so glad I got to read this post card again and and also

get to showcase this as letter writing

seems to be a dead art.

Sad.

Turkey ribbons

I must apologize for the photo quality and since these 

bad boys have been mailed - this is it.

So shock upon shock 

I didn't have a turkey stamp, sticker or die cut.

No clue how that happened so I stopped by HL and picked

up the one and only turkey stamp they had.

Another shock, (I know they're coming fast) they didn't have

turkey stickers either. 

Also I shocker I only have 2 granddaughters yet I 

ended up with more girly colors on the turkeys.

I used water color pencils to color them in because

I was totally out of control and a danger 

to all stamped turkeys using regular watercolors.

Anyhoo, if you follow Ashi (Soaphousemama) you know

I jacked these fun ribbons from her.

I wanted to change up doing the cards and I also

had the presence of mind to add

a Zot on the back to they can either wear them or 

stick them somewhere.

I totally used a bunch of scraps too.

And I used punches though I did cut the banners

by hand.

Each one has their name on it by MAMBI alphas.

Keeping in touch with the grands

with snail mail.

Sometimes the old school technology works best.
