November Monthly Mailers

As you may know, I love blog exchanges, pen pals, etc.  I have been doing a few and I just found a new one I love called Monthly Mailers over at Creating a Great Today.  Pretty much you sign up and get a partner and then mail them a letter filled with inspiration for the month.  Simple but sweet.  I thought it sounded fun so I signed up for the first time last month.

For the month of November I received a lovely note filled with quotes from Jessie in Europe.  I know she's in Europe because her address said APO AE which is military for American in Europe or something.  When we lived overseas in Italy and England we had the same address.  She sent the cutest card and envelope filled with amazing quotes.  [UPDATE: Actually I was wrong - she's in Kuwait, so not Europe at all...I guess they don't have a different postal code for the Middle East]

I LOVE quotes so it was nice receiving such uplifting ones.  I wish she had mentioned something small about herself or her blog so I could learn a little more about her, but no worries - the card was amazing. 

There was actually a bit of a mix-up because I received a card about certified mail being delivered to my house and thought it was her.  It is super hard to get certified mail because someone has to be home to sign for it and no one ever is.  I emailed her to see if it was her letter but she didn't think it was.  A few days later her letter showed up, so it wasn't her.  And I still have no idea who sent me a certified letter and I think it's going to be returned because I haven't received it yet and they return it after 15 days.  Hope it wasn't too important....

Thanks for the beautiful letter Jessie and thanks for hosting the Monthly Mailers Sarah!  If you want to join Monthly Mailers - sign up here!
