Natasha sent me this personalized birthday card (she knows crocodiles give me the willies) a sheet of postage stamps (woohoo and I've already used them all) and a bag full of Sharpies in all different colors.
Amie gave me 2 Twix candy bars (she knows they're my favorite) and a tube of magical eyelash serum. I thought it was mascara at first, but then looked online and found out that it's full of nutrients and peptides and creates twice the volume of lashes. I can use the help.
Esther sent me a package full of various sizes of envelopes, if only I had a reason to use them...hee.
Kristi sent me (hello, 8 pound package to mail!) a set of her favorite 425 thread count King Sized sheets! This is luxury she enjoys and thought I would too, um yes please! She also sent this package of cute, little magnetic picture frames. I think I'm going to put quotes in them and hang them on the fridge.
Laurie B., Becca and Melinda all went in on this thoughtfully, genius gift for me. It came in a big box from Target (this is what the UPS man brought earlier in the week) and caused me to squeal as I opened it. Now I have shave ice technology at home! I just need to accommodate more ice trays in my freezer to keep up with the demand.
Patsy sent me these fun flip-flop note cards, some Bath & Body goodies, a tissue tote (I always carry mini tissues with me) and some cute clips.
Melinda (in addition to going in on the ice shaver) sent me one of her awesome, homemade birthday banners! How festive is this?
Shannon sent me an odd-shaped package complete with her own touch of whimsy with her good mail label wearing a birthday hat, I love details like this!
The odd-shaped gift she sent was this very cool, monogrammed mug (with some ice breaker mints inside), darling return address labels and a cute notebook.
My sister-in-law Amy sent me a nice birthday card that arrived on my actual birthday (so nice) even though we'd already celebrated my birthday as a family the weekend before.
This is the note that was on the box of donuts Claudia's cousin dropped off for Claudia. That was such a nice thing for Claudia to arrange and her cousin to do for me. I thought it was funny that it was addressed to "Missy" and from "Missy" since that's what we call each other.
Kim Sue sent me a package of her awesome Italian Photo Cards. I love these! Even though I make photo cards all the time, they're not fancy and cool like hers. I was thrilled to receive these.
Denise sent me a Sonic Gift Card (woohoo) along with a very enjoyable card. I'm always happy to have gift cards to anywhere really, but I LOVE having a Sonic gift card especially. I am there every other day for a bag of ice and every Creative Friday to get Michelle's drink and my cup of ice, plus random visits for slushies with the kids.
This was written on Denise's envelope, another fun detail.
Laurie M. sent me this nice birthday card.
Heather did it again, she gave me another generous birthday gift, this time a certificate to Bath & Body Works. I just wish it wasn't so hard to choose what I want!
My sister-in-law Daniela (and family) sent this birthday card.
Kacey sent me this nice card and some postage stamps (woohoo and already gone!).
As Landon carried this present in from the mailbox he said, "Hey mom, did you make some labels for a girl named Wende?" I thought that was funny since I AM THE GIRL who makes the good mail labels, but I was very happy to see that she had 3 of them on this package. Her gift was a set of these very cute cupcake cards she makes, now I'm stocked for birthdays for awhile.
A friend from Church gave me a nice card and a bottle of lotion.
Ann sent me a nice card with a very festive envelope.
Becca (in addition to going in on the ice shaver) sent me a delicious (yes it's gone already) chocolate bar, some foot cream and a lip gloss.I hope I haven't forgotten anything, I'll add it if I did. I really appreciate all of this generosity and good mail loving!
**Isn't the ice shaver a genius idea?

Wow, that was quite the haul you got!
Okay- I just have to say that it is SO funnY that wende & I both sent you the same birthday card..ha.. we are in the same card club :)
What a great amount of Good Mail Birthday goodness!!! woo HOoooo!!
I love it!
First of all, I must say how impressed I am that you documented each and every piece of Good Mail from your adoring fans! Now that's blogging dedication for sure.
Yes, crocodiles do in fact give me the willies, and I adore colorful Sharpies.
That is some seriously good birthday mail! I love that you got postage, and the ice shaver is SO thoughtful and genius -- I wish I'd thought of it myself!
What great Birthday mail! I have never received postage, but have to say that I think that is a great gift....something that is always needed right?!
And I just have to tell you that the Enormous Lash is FANTASTIC! I have been using it for about 6 weeks now and I can tell a big difference! It took about a month to really notice, but my eyelashes just seem "better". A little longer, a little thicker, and my mascara just seems to go on better (you know the days when you just have a "good eye day"?) All of our cousins and aunts have been using it for a while now and they say that the two month mark is when you can really see the big difference.....and they all look great! I think it just makes your eyelashes healthier or something, keeps them from falling out etc. I am so glad Amie gave you one, I hope you love it!
Oh my gosh. So fun. I want the eyelash stuff and the banner Melinda made is awesome! I'm glad you like the ice shaver. I use mine everyday, multiple times. When you trn the knob to the real-fine setting you get a nice cup of shaved ice. Target sells the syrups to make the shaved ice - get them now (not in the food section) while they're selling them for summer!
Since you are just posting bday posts now, I don't feel so bad( yes I do, I am totally guilt prone) that I will not get your present in the mail until after the state holiday schmoliday tomorrow. Didn't I come see you last 24th?
How great to receive so many surprises and treasures...I love just having a gift card because it is so fun to imagine the possibilities!
Do you realize how blessed you are?!? You have so many sweet friends. Yesterday was my birthday and I got one card from my mother-in-law. That was it. You are one lucky girl!
None of that good mail was for me, yet I feel like I just hit the jackpot looking through all those great deliveries. Thanks for sharing!
I have two jars of colorful Sharpies, one of the regular tip and one of the thin tip. I love them!
You have some sweet friends that gave you those thoughtful gifts!
Fun to see all the birthday loot - to see how loved you are, what fun things you got to open, and to get gift ideas for the future. The ice shaver - how perfect!
you seriously got treated great on your birthday!!! i loved seeing all your birthday good mail :o)
love that you shared it all with us....I had fun enjoying it with you! I wish I knew who anonymous was because she seriously needs some good mail.
I can't imagine getting that much swag on my bday! How fun! Of course, I also am not nearly as good as you are about remembering others. I think that birthday banner is so darling and happy.
I'm glad you had a good birthday. I don't know anyone else who celebrates their day like you do.... fabulous.
