today I feel like a stalker.

Actually, this has been with me all week.
Stalking my email.
Stalking the mailbox.
Stalking the front door waiting for the UPS man to leave a package...

a special delivery dissected!

I finally got around to unpacking some of my stamp boxes! I didn't have a lot of time to get really re-acquainted with the collection but I did flip through some of the books and snap a couple of quick photos.

Just to get an idea of the magnitude of the collection...

the giant boxes and some of the guts...

Here are a few of my favorites:

Create.A.Swap

I participated in a create-a-swap a few weeks back...
And I've finally gotten around to posting some photos.

The rules were simple:
Create three things
Send them to your partner
Receive three handmade things

Here is what I received:



Spectacular, no?!
Thanks Abby for the awesome gifts!
And thanks to Cara for organizing it all.

sending sunshine to an unsuspecting stranger...

How amazing is this?
Just imagine:
one special day in which everyone gets a handwritten note, just because.
I found out about this grâce à Cara.
Check out her blog for a clip from the BBC about these mysterious letters.

The mail man came to visit today...

...and he brought me something really special.

They're even prettier in person.
Talk to Meg to get some of your very own.

Special Delivery

... Pretty much the best package ever.
