In case you missed it - the 2024 stamp designs have been announced - lots of good ones to come:
This envelope from Smash arrived in October. It reminds me of the previous robot series that she started. You can do a search on the blog for [robots] and see all kinds of fun stuff. I have been sending weekly envelopes to my grandkids and I knew that I would be stealing this idea. I had been sending them each an envelope, but found out that the two envelopes, mailed on the same day, seldom came on the same day. The second one of a set would arrive up to 3 days later. My solution is to put one envelope inside another - and save a stamp. Each kid will get to open something.
Here's the one I sent, inspired by Smash's. I happened to be walking through an apartment building when the mailman was filling the bank of mail boxes. I handed him the envelope and asked him if I could trust him to get it to its destination. Without missing a beat, he said, "Sure. I'll drive it over there right now." I love postal workers.
My grandkids are not keeping any of their mail - so I put very little time into them -- I like this idea enough that I might redo it - and approximate Smash's work a little better.
