Mini Mail

I received this letter a while back from the very talented Lea Redmond, post master of the World’s Smallest Post Office.

I know a lot of people have sent and received letters through her wonderful service, but this one was different….

Is that the world’s smallest secruity envelope?!! I might have squealed. Just a little.

So utterly adorable! I received the letter weeks ago, but was inspired to post about it today when I got an email about some of her newest projects. Just when you thought mini mail couldn’t get any cuter, here comes the World’s Smallest Package!

I want to get one just for the packaging! They’re only $10 each, so I might just order one for myself! Check out more of Lea’s work over at Leafcutter Designs.

Envelopes from Envelopes

Two things I’m digging today:

These mini envelope templates from JetPens which Jess from How About Orange made into mini envelopes using security pattern envelopes. Exactly what I would have done! We must be twins.

She’s having a $25 JetPens giveaway right now over at How About Orange and if I don’t hear that I’ve won by Friday, I’m buying them anyway!

I also love these mini envelopes Amy of The Sweets Blog by Amy Atlas picked up at the Martha Stewart Craft Sale. (What I wouldn’t give to go to that sale!)

Security Envelope Badges

As always, when I see something cool made out of security envelopes I think: “Why didn’t I think of that?!”

It’s Swap Time!

There’s still time to sign up for this year’s paper swap! I’m already getting ready:

For those of you who are participating, I’ve made a group on Flickr for you to share your photos of what you’re making/receiving. This year’s swap is shaping up to be a really good group and I can’t wait to see what shows up in my mailbox!

Security Stamp Postcards

Finally! Something actually turned out exactly how I wanted it to! This is what I had in my head when I made the security postage stamps:

For those of you doing the swap, this is what you’ll be getting from me (plus envelopes).

Security Envelope Postage Stamps

I think this turned out rather well considering I’ve never used a sticker maker before.

More to come….
