Snail-Mail
I LOVE receiving things in the mail (minus all the junk of course.) There is nothing quite like a letter or card from a friend or family member. Taking time to actually send something via snail-mail takes time and energy, not to mention at least $.41 (although that's soon to change.) I've got a friend of mine (Hi Robyn) who is the queen of snail-mail. She's so great, she remembers anniversaries/birthdays and pretty much any important day ever. I love receiving cards from her because I know she cares. One of my New Year's goals was to write/craft more cards this year. So far I've been doing pretty well and hope to contine this throughout the entire year. I know my family who are out of state especially like receiving things-it keeps them connected. If you have not hand-written a note lately, I would encourage you to do so...it's quite theraputic. Who cares if you don't like your handwriting...your recipient sure won't. They will be so thrilled to receive it, they will totally overlook any typos too (at least that's what I like to tell myself anyway...)
Just a funny shot to wish everyone a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY (yes...my DH will do just about anything-I LOVE this man!)

that first picture is awesome..i love the texture and i like your watermark too..it looks great. i love getting mail, don't get it very often but i love when i do!! it's so much fun! i love to send cards out too for birthdays..i spent probably 30 minutes making a card for my friend yesterday..man! that's a long time!
I just have to say, I think it's so wonderful..the relationship you and your hubby seem to have. Only a man that loves you would jump infront of a camera..no matter what!
Beautiful photo. The first one, that is - ha! I, too, think that taking the time to remember ahead of time and send a card snail mail means so much.
I love getting "snail mail" to!! Infact I just wrote out a few letters this morning. There is something special about an actual letter or card coming for you. Great idea and love both your shots today!
these are both great! I love cards too... I probably don't send out enough though. thanks for challenging me to do more!
Thanks for the nice compliment. I certainly do enjoy sending out and receiving cards via snail mail!!!!
Cool texture on the first one. By the way, postage rates are going up. It's not too late to snap up some of those "Forever" stamps. Your husband is such a good sport, and I love how the photo of him turned out!
my dh would never do that and let me post it ..lol.. Happy v-day!
Let me be the first to say that your hand-crafted cards and absolutely beautiful and the extra special touch does not go unnoticed. And I like William already...can't wait to meet you guys!!
That was one of my new year goals too, but I haven't been very goo dabout following up! Love the texture in these photos. Your husband is such a trooper!
Beautiful photos! I love getting mail too, even if it is mostly junk mail!. Just hearing the mail man at the box makes me happy :) I had to lol at your DH, what a fun shot, and such a good spot too!!
That first photo is amazing! I love everything about it! I also think the last photo is so funny! You should frame that one! I lOVE it! I wanted to thank you for all of your wonderful words of encouragement...

love the stamps. great job. and your dh is stinkin' hilarious! what a fun, fun picture! you should have that made into stamps to send your valentines next year!
I love the textures on these and the DOF on the stamps photo. And your DH is funny. I sent my dad a snail mail Valentine.
I totally agree, and I think I may just take you up on your advice and stop neglecting my out of state family members! Thanks for the inspiration.
I LOVE your stamp photo, very creative and the texture is awesome!
The first shot with the texture and all is so cool. Now arent hubbys so fun.
LOL, I love your DH too, he looks like he's got such a great spirit! You're so right about sending regular mail. I need to make a point of doing it more often. I should grab some postcard stamps and send some from Hawaii, I'm sure they would brightened people's day. Thanks for the idea!
You are so right. My Granny loves it when i send her things in the mail. Thank you for the reminder. I think I love your DH also! LOL
Love the texture in that first one. I need to send more things because you are right it is great to get them. And that picture of your husband=amazing.
What a funny pic of your DH ;)!!!! He sure is a great guy!! I also love recieving mail but I'm terrible about sending it! Thanks for the challenge!
Snail mail is the best I love it... Love that first picture..
I love your first photo, it's so cool! I adore receiving mail, also not the junk and bill kind! I send notes and cards about once a week or so. I'm also a dork that cuts articles out that I think someone would like and mails them. That photo of your dh is so funny, he sounds like a great guy!
Great conversions! I love that first one. And your DH is so fun! I just loved yesterday's pics too! Love sleeping kiddoes!
Great photos and a great DH too...I will have to talk mine into some photos here soon.
I love the picture of your husband. He is quite the trooper to pose like that. It is such a fun picture and the conversion is great.
I adore snail mail too...
I just love your use of textures! That first photos is awesome! Something as benign as a stamp and you mak it look like a work of art! ..... Now, your DH photo is funny! I wish my DH would do that for me! LOL! Great guy!
Cards, writing by hand, what is that? Good on you for trying? Do they make fonts in my hand writing? Thanks for noticing my avatar - a change is as good as a holiday.
ROFLOL!! Love the last one and sooo agree with Michelle about the stamps for next year! What a hoot!!!
The stamp picture is gorgeous!!
LOL about the DH shot. Snail mail rocks. i love making cards to send people
I just love you DH, Heather! What a good sport and a FUN photo. I can see why you guys are together because you are both so fun!
I have to agree with you about letters. My grandma and I still right handwritten letters back and forth and it is so exciting when I see a card in the box!
