I'm turning in to my mother. It happens to the best of us, right?
I started getting in to mailing cards after my mom gave me a few card kits. She does a monthly card club and thought it would be fun for me to make some. It was. I always love crafts that tell me exactly what to do :)
So then I had over 20 cards to send, and started to be the person who just sent a little cheer-you-up card at random times. One fact you can take throughout life: PEOPLE LOVE GETTING MAIL. Mail that is not bills, mail that has a little love tucked in, mail that has a hand written signature. Even if it just says, "Hey, I'm thinking of you!", it will always brighten someone's day.
Since moving to Texas, I have been sending even more mail to keep in touch with friends. I want them to know that I'm thinking about them. I also hosted my own SNAIL MAIL BIRTHDAY PARTY when I turned 25 in April. What the heck is that?! I made it up. Since it was a big birthday, and I was not able to celebrate with anyone {but my lovely husband}, I asked my friends to send me birthday cards. The most heartfelt, and the funniest card each got a gift sent back to them from Texas. Fun, right?!
You may have noticed that "letter writing" is starting to come back into popularity. It was listed number one on this list of "Things Everyone Should Start Making Time for Again" on Thought Catalog. People, I'm telling you, I'm ahead of the curve on this one.
And so are Beth & Britta, the sister owners of Snail Mail Designs. They design paper products of all kinds to be shipped world wide and then sent to lucky mailboxes to garner smiles.

Let's meet the ladies! Beth is the younger sister who loves anything outdoors; biking, running, rollerblading, etc. She also enjoyed her first attempt at gardening this year (jealous!). Britta loves reading, cooking, photography & playing outside with her daughter. My creative interview question was "If you could hop in an envelope and send yourself anywhere, where would you go?" Surprisingly, they both answered with the same destination. Australia. They said they have had the opportunity to work with several brides in Australia and every time they ship off their invitation orders, they consider hand-delivering them. The ocean, the accents, the people… Britta and her husband have also talked about traveling to New Zealand as well. With so much gorgeous scenery...I would love to go there as well!
