Who remembers the nursery rhyme about what little boys are made of?
Snips and snails and puppy dog tails. (What is a snip anyway???)
Well – not sure about a snip, but I thought a snail would be fun to paint in watercolor, and I had a little boy I needed to send a birthday “snail mail” card to.
It was fun to make a colorful snail for a very colorful little boy.
Don’t underestimate the power of snail mail….
Doesn’t it make your day when you receive a card or note in the mailbox? It is so rare anymore, but oh the joy – oh the appreciation we feel when we receive a handwritten – or better yet a handmade note or card. Right?
Want to do something EXTRAordinary? Send someone a handwritten “snail mail” note or card today? I guarantee you will make their day! 🙂
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

What a perfectcard for a little friend, Jodi! Sending notes on handmade cards truly makes my heart sing. It’s fun to think about each person the whole time I am making each card. (It feels like a little visit.) The ink is barely dry before I pop the card into an envelope and mail it off to someone special! ♡

All we seem to get in the mailbox are the monthly requests for money these days. I like your snail mail much better!

Great idea, Jodi. We have unfortunately moved away from the written word. It’s become a lost art. Hopefully not forever.
