Kacey sent me a couple personalized notepads to celebrate the season, and I've already been putting them to good use.


Claudia sent me this cute note recently and labeled all the ornaments on the front, they say merry, work, simplicity, surrenderness, gratitude, love, service, open, faith, selfless.

I have been sending loads of packages for Christmas & I love that! Hooray for all your good mail & coupons- so nice- so great.

I do love a good roll of wrapping paper! some of it is so incredibly tacky- it's great to find something Just Right!

I have sent a couple of notes... but not enough.
I hope your last few days working before the HOliday break go smooth & headache free :)

i think the winter stamps are kinda lame this year. i still used them though.

i wrote 4 notes last night (one to you!)

i love the wrapping paper

i do not coupon though i do think it's kinda cool.

i love all the mail you receive, you have good friends.

Nikole said...

Glad you are avoiding the headaches. How's the teacher's lounge situation?

The only notes I've written lately are thank you notes.

I've always wanted to coupon but have heard it compared to a part time job. I don't have time for that! (I already have a part time job!)

tiffany said...

it's like a party in your mailbox!

Natasha said...

I ordered some of those winter stamps from usps online but they haven't arrived yet. I've been enjoying Kacey's notepads as well. She is always so generous! I haven't sent you a written thank you yet but I definitely owe you one for Eliot's notecards. I love them, they are perfect. It makes the daunting task of all the thank you notes I need to write (for meals, for baby gifts etc) more fun. You did a fabulous job with them!

Natasha said...

Oh I generally do not coupon because I don't purchase packaged type items that coupons are generally for. I wish they had produce coupons and bulk bin item (nuts, dried fruit, granola, yeast etc) coupons! I do use coupons for baby items though.

brooke said...

I have a fetish for polka dot wrapping paper.

Elizabeth said...

Ooh what's on your cleaning mix. I need some inspiration!

becca said...

Love the wrapping paper!! So cute!! And I have not seen those winter stamps...I should have gotten some to mail my christmas cards...oh well.

So glad you have figured out a way to avoid headaches!! What a blessing...and an EASY fix!!

Unknown said...

That's right, you have a couple of more til Christmas break. What a joy to have 2 weeks off...it should help ya catch up, no?

Melinda said...

That is so nice people have sent you their coupons!

I am so glad you like the wrapping paper. Polka dots make me happy.

I have a couple of thank you's I need to write.

Bugg's mama said...

Woah, you are so loved! Not a big shock, though. You're awesome!

Nikki said...

Your mix CD is awesome! Thanks again! :)

Sandy said...

I sent three notes to notable Primary kids last week. Still need to write three other thank you notes for gifts received.

I have some of the winter stamps. I love them, especially because they are Forever stamps and much nicer than the other Forever stamps. Did you know that they have a roll of Forever stamps with American flags and the Statue of Liberty? Got some of those too.

Gotta love those polka dots on the wrapping paper and the button on one of the cards you received. I love anything paper, so yes, I do have wrapping-paper envy!

jenn said...

I have wrapping paper envy over that paper! SO cute!

I do have those stamps!

I wouldn't know what to do with the coupons if I had them.

I love Claudia's ornament card.

Neighbor Jane Payne said...

Oh my yes I have been busy sending out good-mail.

That polka dot paper is darling. It reminds me a lot of Michelle, too.

Price Cream Parlor said...

I think that it is funny that polka dots always remind me of Michelle as well!

I have sent notes this week..Christmas cards. That counts, right?

The winter stamps are lame this year. What is up with that?

Love your good mail you received! Kristi is the best! So funny she went to get $2 bills to go with those coupons! Thoughtful!

My Mom was made fun of all the time in Africa on their mission because she was always telling the missionaries to drink more water. It cures a ton of issues for sure! Glad to hear it is working for your headaches!

Holly said...

What joyful blessings have made their way to you lately! :)

I need to get some winter-y stamps soon. I hate using the regular ones this time of year.

I do like thick wrapping paper with bold, fun prints but I hardly ever allow myself to buy it--so YAY for your surprise gift! I always end up buying the cheap multi-pack and hating it every year.

Congrats on all of your couponing-and for so many friends sending theirs your way. WooHOO!!

Glad drinking more water, earlier is helping keep the headaches at bay.

Liz said...

I sent out about 70 Christmas cards yesterday, plus two packages. I've got more to send out today. The only thing I don't like is the waiting in line. I bought some of those same winter stamps at Costco when I picked up my Christmas cards. Love the polka dot paper!! So cute!

Congrats on warding off the headaches! That is awesome!

Jeremy.Celeste said...

i can't believe all the good mail you receive. How fun to receive such fun mail. I love the polka dot wrapping paper. I wish I had some. I need some fun simple things like polka dots to make my all boy home feel a little more girlie. Ha.

Such a great that you are doing well with no headaches. It is so great. May you have a most Merry Christmas this Holiday season.

michelle said...

I love that people are sending you coupons! That's thoughtful. And I think the winter greenery stamps are lovely.

I looooooove wrapping paper. Especially with polka dots.

Bond Girl 007 said...

Oh my I was smitten by the wrapping paper in EMPORIOUM....I could pick at least two of their rollls.........one of these days!....

Doodle Bugs said...

I can honestly say that I have sent out a good bit of good mail the last few weeks- and I hope you enjoy your little "happy"!!

I love that black and white polka dot paper and had to talk myself out of buying that exact roll at Hobby Lobby. I have SO much wrapping paper- its pretty crazy! Hobby Lobby seriously has the BEST! I came home with 4 new rolls a few weeks ago. I have white paper with black dots- so I talked myself out of the black with white dots. It's precious for all occasions.

I NEED coupons!! And, I have been printing them off the internet this Christmas season before heading to any store!

Hope you have a joyful and Merry Christmas!!

Rebekah said...

yikes, i gave you coupon overload. sorry!
