This is a cute card Pam made and sent me, so creative.
Elisa sent me one of her famous homemade bars of soap and a very nice note. Thanks!
Kristi (with yet another very cute personalized card) sent me a couple fun mix cd's she's made. Thanks! I've already loaded them into itunes.
Collette sent me a very nice note in this cute card, she knows how to write a great note.
My best friend from High School Betsy sent this cute card thanking us for the birthday present we sent her son for his first birthday. I think this is such a cute idea for a card, especially since they live in Michigan and I never get to see them. I'm missing him grow up and loved seeing this progression of pictures.
**Do you find yourself sending more notes now that you see them posted on all the different blogs all the time? Do you enjoy seeing what people get or not? I love seeing what everyone gets?**
P.S. These deliveries were from both yesterday and today--it's not that crazy around here.

I think that you have started a "good mail" epidemic, Jill. Someday your tombstone will read "the founder of good mail" -- years and years and years from now.
I do find that I send out more notes and more little packages, the lady in the post office knows me now.
I love seeing what people get in the mail and the generosity of others, generosity of more than just the tangilbe.
How can I get my silly little self involved in this Goody Mail phenomenon, huh! :P

I send way more cards now than I ever did before you introduced me to good mail. Especially to my parents and MIL. I like to see what others are getting- it gives me ideas and reminds me to finish things that I have in the works. I also just like to see all the giving and receiving out there.
How fun to get good mail. Ya, gotta love that you "founded" it.
In almost every aspect of my life I am forced to live vicariously through others, which is partially why I read the blogs of perfect strangers (such as yourself). For that reason, combined with my love of presents, I LOVE seeing all of the fun things that you and your friends exchange. I admire the generosity and love that is reflected in this great tradition. Don't stop!!
I love seeing everyone's thoughtfulness in action. And I think it does spur me on to do more for others, and just to think more about what I can do to lift someone's spirits. Thanks for sharing.
p.s. I just cannot believe that Owen is 1 already!
Dana (and anyone else yearning to be on the list), you can email me your address and birthday and I'll put you on the master address list. Also, you could start by sending things to people in your world (family and friends) here and there when you see little things you think they might like or that remind you of them. That's pretty much how it works.

Hi Jill. Yes, I do find myself looking for ways to send out some cheer more often. I haven't done it within the blogging world, but I have plans in mind in the future. In the meantime, my good mail or gift giving has gone to those who are struggling right now. Seems like there's a lot of that going on. Thanks for your example.
I love seeing what everyone gives and gets. But also a little sad that I have yet to send or receive any of my own. I guess I should dive in and send something great to someone I may never meet. Thanks for founding good mail. I am promising myself here and now (on your blog) that I will join the good mail club.
