FEB from Liz and Grace

 

I've probably said this before, Liz fills up all the space on her envelopes which makes me want to give that a try. I like the way the address is clear and scanner friendly.

Below, I like that casual, graceful line around the edge. I have a bunch of edge designs coming up.

Look closely at how Grace did the address. The street is clear block letters. Then she went back to script for the city/state - and the zip is easy to read. I have no idea if the tilt gives the scanner problems. Also, my address is nice and short. I'm curious what her envelopes look like if she has one of those really long addresses.

Starting today - I will be putting *no add on* in the title - and if I have time, I will come back and add on. If not, we can all enjoy the brevity and pay more attention to those to-do lists.

Something to add-on popped up. Clover sent me a photo of the back of her envelope from me - so I could see the style of postmark that is similar to the ones I call *poster-marks* because they are so large. It's not as gigantic as JeanR's.  I should measure the depth of the postmark and start placing all my stamps so that the cancel will just nip the top of the stamp. 

I really like the little mail truck - and the wavy lines off the back. The large, easy to read name and date is also nicely proportioned.

Here are the longest place names in the US - but their mail probably goes to larger cities to be processed. Indianapolis (12 letters) is the longest big city name that I can think of that would surly have its own mail processing plant. Googling led me to Colorado Springs with 15 letters. They might be close enough to Denver to not have a processing plant.
