Getting mail – Tiny Prints giveaway

Pin It

There is nothing that excites me quite so much as a hand addressed envelope in my mailbox, Dear Reader. I don’t care if the envelope contains a card, a letter, a newspaper clipping, or a quick note, the fact that someone cared enough to write a note, affix a stamp, and mail it really warms my heart.

I know I’m not the only person who feels this way. My Grandma puts our postcards and notes on her refrigerator. They stay on there until they fall apart.

Cards and letters make people feel good. They show that you care. They inspire people to pay it forward and do nice things for others.

In the past, I have usually picked up a pack of 12 generic but nice cards for each major holiday of the year – Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I always wrote a little note inside, and I mailed the cards to all of the important people in my life.

Last Valentine’s Day, I put paint on Grace’s little hand and made hand prints inside every one of my cards. Those were really cute, but they were a lot work. A lot of work. It took seven people to get her tiny prints on the cards.

This year, I’m sending Tiny Prints of another sort. These were much easier, and they are going to be just as treasured as last year’s Valentines.

That’s my current favorite card, minus the bottom part where it lists my personal information. How cute is that? I also loved these ones:

Receiving “real” mail inspires me, so I submitted this post to Monday’s Muse
