Shaker clouds

August 24th: My mail was delivered really early around 10:30. I got 6 things in the mail.
A wish for sticker destash:
A pen pal letter:
A flat tag:
Another wish for sticker destash
I think I had 3 or 4 people grant my wish for sticker destash. I really don't need more stickers.
a wish for tea:

A blue crafting items swap
And an Etsy purchase. One of the videos I watch on Youtube, HappyMailQueen posted about buying these shakers from someone one Etsy, I fell in love with them and had to buy some myself.
I have no idea what I'll do with these, but I've been obsessed with them since I saw Karlene Moore haul them from Ali.
I also bought some cabochons:
Again, not sure what I'll do with them, but I'm also really loving resin pieces. The flatter ones on the bottom of the photo are actually a rubbery material.
And the extras I got:
Not sure what I'll do with any of it. The store is BeansandPeanuts
I spent the rest of the day getting stuff ready to mail and making things.
A wish for happy mail:
Again, I granted multiples. I found these punched envelopes I got at a garage sale and decided to share them.
Another happy mail wish:
And another one, these turned out to be a bit heavier than the other happy mail wishes I granted on Sunday.
I created another flip book with the prima paper pad. This was a show your work project for a new group.
I also created an explosion box with it. I was thinking about how wonderful it would be to make an explosion box with double sided paper, I'm pretty sure this is the first 12x12 paper pad I've gotten that's double sided. I'm still stuck on decorating the smallest box. I wanted to only decorate with the paper pad, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.
I also made some fall tags:
And made my own sticker destash, I ended up giving it to the youth department at the library. I was originally going to try and get rid of it on a reuse group on Facebook, but everytime I post something on there, it's like pulling teeth, I just get tired of trying to getting rid of stuff, people make it so hard to get them to pick it up. 
August 25th: I went to help a friend unpack some stuff for a rummage sale and got the first pick. I found a bunch of cute buttons: 
Some vintage jewelry, toys, and miscellaneous:
A lot of the jewelry I picked up to rip apart for crafting.
And a bunch more miscellaneous:
It was a fundraiser for a local nonprofit radio station, so I gave them $20.
I found this cool clock:
I did not buy it.
I also found this fun casserole dish with matching S&P shakers:
August 26: I got a wish granted of surprizamals:

I also got a wish granted of minion address labels. TOO cute.
I found these really cute pictures in a book at work:

And a monkey:
August 27: I got a Dollar Tree tag:
And a happy mail request:
August 28: I went to a couple garage sales and found this great sign while I was out.
The first sale:
Some Halloween stuff, tape, and whales from Finding Dory.
The second sale:
A few rolls of washi and yarn.
Found my You Matter box when I got home:
I think this is the best month yet. Not only do I love almost everything in the box, but I think I'll also use most of it. 
June was great, too, but I don't think I'll really use anything that came in that one. July there were a couple things I liked, one I used.
This month, I really like the mask, the worry monster, the t-shirt, the hand sanitizer holder and the magnet. The other thing is called a cootie key, you're supposed to use it instead of using your hands to push buttons. I was a bit disappointed when I realized there wasn't actually hand sanitizer in the holder. I kinda don't want to go anywhere to buy some to put in it.
I'm trying to decide if I should renew it next month. The first few boxes weren't that great. I don't know. 
I also received a personal swap of purple octopus address labels. Also wicked cute.
