I got this fun, Halloween package from Linda and have been wearing these Halloween bootie socks in the office when my feet get cold. They're rather comfy and aren't something I would buy for myself.
Melanie sent me these awesome Paris magnets and a double dinosaur sandwich cutter for Whitney. She LOVES it and has been making dino toast and dino sandwiches every day!
Rebekah sent me this amusing wall art that she made from one of my freezing flag-football self-portraits. I got a good laugh from this, and really appreciate her thoughtfulness and the statement because, I CAN do hard things!
Linda sent me a very nice thank you card (she really knows how to write a good note) for the birthday stationery I sent her.
Anita sent me a $10 Sonic gift card in this cute card to thank me for the stationery she won from one of my good mail posts. I was definitely blown away by this!
I like it when people write little notes on their envelopes they send, it's a bonus.
Missy Claudia has been in action with her cute notes.
Here's another one from Claudia.
And one more from her.
Lelly sent me this cute Halloween card.
Last night we received a tray full of these glorious homemade rolls. I "bought" these at our RS service auction in September and was very happy when the giver offered to bring them Sunday afternoon. I really have to learn how to make these!
I sent 5 cards today and have a bunch more in the works.

Comment Window Tidbit: I think I have about a 15 minute window for staying awake while reading, UNLESS it's in the middle of the night, then I seem to be wide awake and fidgety. Aargh!

The photo of the rolls is tortuous!!! Yum.
Isabelle is so excited to send off a letter to Whitney; I hope Whitney won't perceive her as a stalker.
I finally sent a few things last week... it had been months.
I love the Halloween package... I think I like these color coded.
I don't know that I get many notes on my envelopes but I seem to write them a lot. I just always have one more thing or feel the need to explain...
I do have a good roll recipe. Finally! I have been searching for something as good as Rhodes for years. I like to think I made it up but you know... it's all flour, water, and yeast so really how genius can it be.
Have you sent anything lately?
Yup. Nieces and nephews and kids.
Do you wear festive bootie socks?
Like you, when they're given to me.
Do you like notes on your envelopes?
I do like notes no matter where they're written.
Do you have a good roll recipe?
I do, but those of yours are simply beautiful.
I'm waiting for my paycheck to send some little things out, it so hard to wait....
I do enjoy festive bootie socks and I enjoy notes on my envelopes...
My aunt has a "good roll" recipe. I need to get that recipe one of these days.
What fun it must have been to come home to all that "good mail". Enjoy!
OH ROLLS....oh dear buttery, soft, fresh rolls. YUM. Yum. Yummmmm......
Brain coma. All I can do is think about warm carbs. I love rolls.
I am so glad that thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. PS I have an amazing a roll recipe. I'll try to find it and pass it your way.
Do you know that I actually feel like I have been to Paris now. You and Michelle take the most glorious photos. I feel like I was actually there. So THANKyou for that.
I can't tell you how pleased I am that you actually are wearing the booties. I love festive booties and wear them too. They're fun, yet serve a purpose!
I sent out lots and lots of good mail for Halloween...my favorite holiday! I'm on vacation now and need to pick up some fun stuff to send out but won't actually mail them out until I get home. I'm sure it would cost a pretty penny to mail out anything from Maui!
I've never made homemade rolls and don't have a recipe. Maybe that should be one of my goals for 2010!
What a great reception you had with all that fun "good mail." The rolls look devine. I wish I had a good recipe to share but I don't...better get one since the holidays are almost here.
I sent out my first Christmas gift today...not that I'm super duper organized or anything but I wanted my cousin to enjoy her gift all winter long:-)
I have not sent anything lately. Too much Halloween prep.
I love the halloween bootie socks. But like you, it's not something I spend money on for myself.
We have quite a few roll recipes for varied flavors. Think I need to make pumpkin rolls with our sugar pie pumpkins.
Like everyone else, the rolls had me at hello. I have serious issues with yeast and so I no longer attempt making bread products. I laughed because I "bought" rolls in our service auction too.
I try to always send something in the mail for birthdays and holidays. When I was 6 or 7 my primary teacher mailed me a card for my birthday and for each holiday. It made me feel so special to get something in the mail, a rarity for children as most mail was always for mom & dad. I knew if my primary teacher cared enough about me to mail me a card then she also cared about the things she taught me at church. That made such an impact on me that when I became a primary teacher I started doing the same thing for my little CTR 5's.
That is a TON of good mail! You are so blessed! Those rolls look amazing. I think I could put down about 4 of those without pausing... mmmmmm esp if they're warm!
I wear bootie socks but they're not festive. My feet are always cold!
I sent two notes last week but I need to get some more done. Thanks for the reminder.
I have a roll recipe that I like and they look very similar to those. They are called overnight rolls. I have not sent any good mail, the only mail a mailed latly was for a bill that couldn't be paid on the internet.
Those rolls look AMAZING. Seriously.
I hope you get some good reading in tonight--that is, before you go to bed for real for the night, not in the middle of the night. You know what I mean:)
The rolls look delicious- I wish I knew how to bake.
Those socks/slippers are another reason to LOVE fall!!
Missy Claudia has a gift.
And Melanie's Paris magnet with the postmark and the J- perfect!
Speaking of good mail, I came home to the most unexpected but so fun good mail from you today! Thanks so much!!! You are so thoughtful and clever. You made my day!
Those rolls really are glorious. I hope they tasted as scrumptious as they look.
Alright I would love to win some good mail! I love all the cute cards you get. I want to be better about sending mail. I will take your example.
I've only sent a couple things and have a couple more I need to finish. It is fun to send a goody in the mail.
Almost any homemade roll recipe is good to me. Homemade bread taunts me!
Middle of the night fidgeting is the worst. Hope it's better tonight.
This is so great! I love that you came home to good mail.
I love cozy socks of all kinds. We have that dinosaur cutter and Eva loves it! That postage magnet that Melanie made is pure genius.
I use the overnight roll recipe when I make rolls.
I did a kristy and sent my sister's b-day present in a fruit loops box! Her kids loved it (fruit loops in the mail..cool). I am going to send out some good mail to my running friends who do not live close to me:(
I would love to learn how to make rolls.
Those rolls! Oh, how I want to smear butter on them & pop them in my mouth. They look like ones my MIL makes...maybe it's a UT thing?
Wow, you get great mail! The service auction sounds like it has been a great thing for you, weeding and rolls. Fun!
I can smell those rolls from here. Dying!
I have a great roll recipe but I am still trying to figure out how to roll them up like this. I always make the circle too big and then they roll up to be giant rolls. You would think I could figure this one out!
My mom bought me festive socks for years and I still wear them sometimes.
I sent a few things for bdays last week before I left for my trip.
I've been neglecting to write a thank you card for a few weeks. You've given me the extra push I needed. I'll go do it right now.
Those rolls look so yummy!!
Rebekah is just plain brilliant.
Sadly, I have not sent anything lately. I need to get on this. I did receive two very thoughtful thank you notes after the primary program (one from Miss Claudia who always gives the sweetest heartfelt notes that TOTALLY make my day, or week....or month:)
I can't believe how good it made me feel to know that someone recognized the work and effort that went into the program and took a second to thank us. I am such a believer in thank you notes and good mail!
I a lurker that would love to get good mail!
SHHHhhhh I have a mail obession ~
Shelly
Thanks for taking me to France with you and Michele! I've enjoyed every minuted of it.
Sent out another batch of notes today - and bought darling Thanksgiving stamps! Have you seen them?
I love those socks- I've seen them at Target. I've gone through maybe three pair. I think it's because I wear them so much.
Love notes on my envelopes.
Have a great roll recipe...but not the patience to go along with it. Michelle's overnight one sounds interesting.
What a wonderful service you won!
Oh my goodness, what I wouldn't give for one, or five of those rolls right now! YUM!
I have been the worst about sending mail lately. I just found a stack of cards I had written, but never sent. I feel totally lame.
Those rolls!
the mail
the rolls
ahhhh....the goodness
Those rolls look divine. *she says as drooling commences*
I love making rolls and second Michelle's preference of my Aunt Millie's Overnight Rolls recipe. They look like the tempting ones in your photo.
I like to write extra little bonus messages on my envelopes, too!
I am more inclined to wear festive bootie slipper socks than I am festive socks in general.
I haven't sent any Good Mail in a long time. I feel like the lamest mother of college students because I didn't even send a Fall care package to the girls this year...
the wall art is so cute. i love it.
I have a pair of reindeer bootie socks just like yours that I love wearing around my apartment. They keep my feet both warm and protected from my constantly dirty kitchen floor.
