Ha! Newblets! Excellent term, I muse use that elsewhere...
Also, I must ask. Where did you find the post office? (the letter envelope is wonderful!)

They truly are!
(Your whole avatar right now is lovely, but the envelopes really caught my attention since I'm trying to do the yearly-pop-up-card before the end of the year right now, and envelop size is kind of key)

Oh, well, I feel like I need to have actual CORRESPONDENCE with my acquaintances at least once a year, you know? So they get SOMETHING in the mail that's interesting?
Only I never know what to say by the time I'm done writing that many letters.
The FIRST ones are okay. In fact, sometimes the first couple run on so many pages they need two stamps. But I can't just REPEAT everything, that would be no better than TYPING it! So by the time it comes to person #58 on the list, it's down to telegraph-sized missives, and that's just disgraceful.
So I needed some other focus.
So I started making pop-up cards. Now, *that's* interesting, and instead of the first ones being the best, usually I start getting inspired and they get more and more interesting as it goes, so the last few people have something maybe even more awesome than the first few.
But it's a lot of work, and that much postage does add up, so I don't do it that often.
Just once a year.
I've been procrastinating this year.... still on the first dozen. >.<
Anyhow, yeah. Envelopes! Have to carefully measure the envelopes before you start.

Fifty-eight, goodness! That's a lot of seasonal messages!

Er, no, there's a lot more than 58. It's just that the last couple dozen never got much of anything when I was trying to be all chatty.
(And I definitely do not do it seasonally! Four times a year would be far too much work. They get once a year and if they don't like it they can write to berate me about it, and I'll respond. :P )

If any of you like any of the halloween items from this year and you don't have them yet, let me know... I might have a few spares lying about... *looks at wardrobe* A few...

The items aren't in useffel so I don't know what the Halloween items are! But I know I have some of them...
And I meant seasonal as in, Season's greetings, which people usually only say at Christmas time, in the US at least.
