Treasures in the Mail

This is my first blog post on this site that I am sharing with my hubby. You see, it was my bright-idea to take on this challenge (aren't all bright-ideas mine, though?) and Troy did the hard task of getting it in blog form. So far, I've been having a good time encouraging my kids to make things to send, taking photos of said kids in various setting and poses to send, and receiving small treasures back in the mail!



Recently, I received a beautiful pair of earrings in the mail. It was for my birthday and it made me feel very special. Now, there are certain things that I worry about sending in the mail. Money is one of them, gift cards another, and small precious treasures certainly make the list. How easy it would be to lose such a thing in the mail! What with all the sorters and bins and fingers that help our mail get to where it's going. But, nevertheless, we send these tokens of love anyway. I also received some silly bandz in the mail for the kids (I suppose). And I got to thinking. What are some other things that we can send along with our letters? What's the strangest thing that we've received with our letters? How can we ensure that our treasures make it to their destinations?

  1. I'm glad to hear the earring made it to you in the way they were meant too. I sent kara some as well for her birthday, and her's did not make it in one piece. It's good to know that little treasures may not always make it to the destination. IN order to maximize the potential of gift giving through mail, one should look into all sorts of different ways to send a little card. A padded envelope would have done the trick to insure undamaged delivery I'm sure!
