"Excuse me Maam, I am going to need to see your ID."
"Who me? I'm not a day over 21." (Fingers crossed behind my back with a mischievous smirk.)
No, it's not that kind of carded. It's the good kind, if you like mail. Who doesn't love going to the mailbox and getting a random card or note from a friend? I felt the love last fall when my husband and I were doing field work in Idaho. By far it was the most mail I have received in years. I can not stop thinking about how much fun it was and how special I felt. Now, I want you to experience "Good Mail" loven.
Why did I highlight "Good Mail".... It is all part of the plan. One of the people responsible for my mailbox glee has an Etsy shop where she sells "Good Mail" stickers. Examples:
$7.99 for 60 stickers....math is not my forte, but I think that comes to about .13 a sticker. ***This is a special price for us so let Jill know it is for the "I Love Being Carder".*** Free Shipping!***
Why "Good Mail" stickers? Well, this is a great way to identify our GANG. You know it's our way of throwing signs. ;D
For a month or so, I will collect the names of those interested. Then, I will create an invite only blog, for privacy due to personal information. Two things will happen....Every other week (that is once every two weeks) you will receive a name, example 1-50 people...1 sends a card to 2, 2 sends a card to 3, 3 to 4.... Then the next month 1 will send a card to 3, 2 to 4..... Don't worry, each month I will give FULL detail. Then ONE lucky person will be carded by all of us. Can you imagine how cool it will be to get 50+ cards in the mail? What will you write in the card? Anything you want, but I will also provide a question for you to answer, kind of like an ice breaker. Ex. What is your idea of a perfect vacation?
What do you think? Do you like mail? Do you want to be involved? One person every two weeks, is that good? Leave a comment and I will communicate with you through email/blog. SO, Leave me you email address, please!
*Try to order your "GOOD MAIL" stickers so you have them when we get started. If you can not or do not want to use the Good Mail stickers...I understand, just make sure to write "Good Mail" on the outside of the card. Have fun, make the card or buy them...it is your call. Ohhh, I am so excited!
To get things rolling I am having a give-a-way....STAMPS of course. 2 winners will win a booklet of stamps. Winners announced when the contest starts.
Hey...spread the word. The more the merrier.
One more super fun thing to talk about... Congrats to Monkeys ARDently In Sinc who said...
I have a hate-love relationship with Valentine's day. I hate it, because it reminds me of the year I was separated from my husband (he was deployed). Then every year after, I try to ignore it, but in the secret recesses of my heart, I want the heart chocolates and the dozen roses, and the lovey-dovey things that go along with the holiday. Argh!
She is the winner of The Good Smelling Valentine's gift-a-way! Thank you, you and you.( Yes, I mean you!) I will have another contest this week, Yippy~Zippy!
Grab the button...share the swap with your blog buddies.

Hey there :) I finally found the website again! I have gotten 3 good mail letters, but haven't sent any out myself! I either ever got the info for the blog or list, or if I did, I lost it/forgot about it.
Could you send it to me again?
I would love to participate if this is still running.
Nothing brings a smile faster than some "good mail" in your mailbox. SnailMail Fun! :)

Hi,
I keep coming to this website[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url]annonandon.blogspot.com really contains lot of useful information. Frankly speaking we really do not pay attention towards our health. In plain english I must warn you that, you are not serious about your health. Recent Scientific Research shows that closely 80% of all USA grownups are either fat or weighty[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] Hence if you're one of these citizens, you're not alone. In fact, most of us need to lose a few pounds once in a while to get sexy and perfect six pack abs. Now the question is how you are planning to have quick weight loss? You can easily lose with with little effort. If you improve some of your daily diet habbits then, its like piece of cake to quickly lose weight.
About me: I am writer of [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]Quick weight loss tips[/url]. I am also mentor who can help you lose weight quickly. If you do not want to go under hard training program than you may also try [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/acai-berry-for-quick-weight-loss]Acai Berry[/url] or [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/colon-cleanse-for-weight-loss]Colon Cleansing[/url] for effortless weight loss.
This looks like a lot of fun and I can sure tell there are plenty of people interested in participating. I am not a big fan of snail mail unless it is something personal like a greeting card or letter from a friend. Usually all I ever get is junk or advertisements. Have fun with this!
