Postcards, postcards, so many postcards!

So, we sent a ton of postcards and then, just as they started rolling in, some super exciting life things happened, so they got put in a pile until I had time to sit down and register them. I remember saying this wasn't going to be a postcard blog, but it's leaning that way...stay tuned for an onslaught of postcard posts!

Friday = Fabulously Overflowing Mailbox!

I opened the mailbox today and was disappointed because it was STUFFED full of flyers. I pulled them out, leafed through them and tossed them in the recycling. And then, for whatever reason, I glanced back into the box and saw a happy little pile at the bottom…seven postcards! In one day! Amazing!
