Send/receive eclectic care packages

Dan, one of my best friends from college, works at a snack food company, Lesser Evil. For my birthday he sent me a whole CASE of my fave, cinnamon kettle corn!! Now I really need to send that box of coffee to him!

Okay so apparently a bunch of schools have finals THIS week (I’m looking at you, UVM and KSC)!! If I’m going to get care packages to friends I need to put everything together TONIGHT, or forget about it!!!

I’m working on something to send to Josh for finals week…

So the joke I referred to in the last entry is when someone calls at work, and asks if you’re busy, our two responses are “Oh no, I’m just coloring,” or “I’m just counting my paperclips.” (My personal favorite is “No!! I was sitting here waiting for your call!”)

Last week I got a package from Mom – a box of colored paperclips with the following instructions:
1. Sort paperclips by color.
2. Count each color.
3. Replace in box and shake.
4. Do again tomorrow.

love it love it love it

I found out we can mail packages from work, so I’m going to start putting together some fun outgoing packages soon!!

My family has a running joke about coloring at work, and I’m a big fan of color-coding, etc systems. I just started a new job, and I got a bubble envelope at work from my sister the other day. She sent me a package of highlighters!!! I absolutely loved it, and I really DO think of her every time I use them <3 <3 <3

I have tons of scraps of fabric and ribbon, as well as many other crafty materials, and I’ve started making mixed media postcards. Everything is glue-gunned down, so it’s “postally sound,” according to my mailcarrier :-D

Just a little sample of what I’m working on right now, these 4 are all mid-process.
