Just got some lovely goodies in the mail from Team Lunch and Marsattacks. Thank you so much!

I sent out one batch of cards earlier this week, and will have another batch going out within a day or so. Hooray for Goonmas! :3:

Today was a good day for goon mail! :neckbeard:

Got cards from, Vixenella & Alkaphanel, Fish on a Stick (who wrote my username in Japanese!), and RubySprinkles! And my boyfriend got a package from another goon with little presents in it for us!

We also got cards from when worlds collide (delightfully Canadian!), and Andaley the other day!

Now I feel bad because I've been slacking on the reply mail. I ran out of cards, and some of them are addressed but they're international and I haven't bought stamps yet. I'm sorry. I swear I'll send them out soon! :ohdearsass:



It's super festive on our wall though! I had to put up more string, and our roommate is getting a bit jealous. :3:

Sent out a batch of cards to my Canadian goons. I know it's a bit late, but I had nothing else to do today, so I thought I'd send out a few more. I'm counting on Canada Post to get them there in time!

If not, then the Christmas cheer will just have to spill over to Boxing Day this year!

Thank you tiddlez! Always nice to hear from a fellow Scottish goon.




And Eumenidy! Or Deumenidy? I can't tell. But thank you regardless. The text on the front may be a bit tricksy to read in this photograph, but it made me chuckle.





And last but certainly not least, WWC! This lovely goon sent me a bunch of cool things along with the card. Evidently she's a spiderman fan. Or she hates spiderman, which is why she sent all this to me. I liked the cool, hand-drawn-looking postcard best though. Not sure what the Wii promo thing was all about; quite random.





Thanks goons! And Merry Christmas back atcha!

Ha! Well, I have a policy to never send mail out without enclosing SOMETHING inside. What I have on hand varies, but I go to the dollar store when I can as well, so that I have things to put in. It's actually quite challenging to find things that are flat-ish and don't weigh too much, I have had things returned for insufficient postage before and when I went to resend them, it cost a bloody fortune because of the weight and thickness. I try and keep them trim so that I stretch my stamps further.

Spidey is ok :D I don't hate! The postcard is an oldie that I found, apparently they got some little Inuit kids to draw a winter scene for expo 86 or some poo poo like that. I thought they were so cute and funny, and a little bit odd. So into the goon mail pool they went!

The Wii thing is something I got from my old work before my job ended. Well, I used to work for my aunt in her marketing business and she's gone now, gently caress cancer. But she used to let me take weird stuff home that we manufactured like decals or ribbons or baseball caps or clothing or magnets. Numerous goons have gotten some stuff from the old biz over the years.

The Wii thing was to be added to the bottom of a button/pin for some promotion, which is why the sticky part is on the face and not the back. They had tons left over so I grabbed some, I always was on alert for video-gamey stuff. The round stickers some goons got (wish I had of grabbed more, grrrr) were also one of our old work's jobs. That'll be the last of the work trinkets, I haven't worked there since she died. My uncle's kept the business going but they can't afford me. I've been unemployed since, trying to figure out what to do with myself. It's been a really rough couple of years, but things will get better. :unsmith:

Yes yes that was me, you guessed correctly. Glad it made your day! That's the point of it all. :)

*edit- oh poo poo! I forgot... I sent out some more envelopes tonight to some more folks. I am a bit late so I'm doubtful that they'll get there before xmas, but as long as they're there before NYE I'll be happy. Had some family stuff come up but everyone who sent me something as well as a few others from the list has mail coming. Cheers.
