End of the month

November 28: We were a little short, so I worked an extra shift. It wasn't as busy as I wanted it to be. Found my Advent Calendar Pocket Letter when I got home:
Second set:
Third set:

 I put together a few RAKs to go out, one for girly glam items:
One for stickers:
One for tag inserts:
A snowman happy mail tag:
A Santa tag:
I talked myself out of a few things online. Also decided not to do Small Business Saturday, I need to stop spending money. Though I realized I've been so distracted with getting swaps out, I hadn't actually shopped for me for Christmas.
November 29: I put together a private stuffed stocking swap:

I made a coffee mini pocket letter:
A winter pocket letter:
A Send Me Something Red:
I slept in until 8, it felt nice. I started my laundry and got it done about 11:30. I watched the original Halloween Saturday night, I didn't find it that good or that creepy. I watched the newer (2018) today, I liked it. It might have been because the girls' kicked ass at the end.
November 30: Started reading The Man who Ate Everything, I like it. I went out to the post office and spent way too much money. I got a lot of mail today.
A Random Act of Kindness of a handmade ornament.
It's so sweet.
A wish for happy mail:
Not much I'll use.
A fall flip book:
And the goodies:
Another wish for happy mail and something gnome:
Those gnomes are wicked cute.
A sticky notes swap:
Unlike my other partner, she sent a lot of great sticky notes.
A wish for something vintage:
I love these.
A wish for sticker destash:
Not too impressed with this one.
I received 74 pieces of mail for the month of December. It totally helps to get through all the crap that's happening right now. What I really want for Christmas is some peace and quiet, the child that lives above me is very loud, and jumps and runs a lot. Sometimes it feels like they are bouncing right on top of my head. It's totally driving me crazy.

Elephant Unicorn

November 25: I like day shifts, we are much busier and my shift goes wicked fast. I didn't find mail when I got home, so I put a few things together to get out. A wish for something gnome:
A letter B tag:
A wish for happy mail:
A wish for cute sticky notes:
A wish for something galaxy:
My family's plan is to have food from a local place (not Thanksgiving fare), so my mom picked it up today and delivered it. It smelled so good cause I hadn't gotten to lunch yet, I wanted to eat it right them. I compromised and ate the fries because those don't usually heat back up very well.
 November 26: a nice boring day. Slept until 7 and read a book. Had lunch, had a zoom meeting for Thanksgiving and just as I was getting annoyed with what my parents and brother were talking about, it closed. Apparently it wasn't supposed to, but I was very appreciative that it did. Spent the rest of the day watching TV it was great.
November 27: Normally, I buy the Peachy Cheap grab bag, but when I got online, shortly after 8, it was already sold out. I kinda wanted to go shopping. Got a few things ready to be mailed. A wish for happy mail:

A silly pen:
A Christmas surprise:
And a Christmas ornament:
I found 10 items waiting for me when I checked the mail:
A few free cards from Hallmark:
A wish for happy mail:
I really like the bird card and the panda sticker.
A sticky notes swap:
I'm a little disappointed in this one, we were supposed to send 5 different kinds. To me, those 3 page flags are one kind.
A 50 loose stickers tag:
This was from the 2nd group I joined, I'm kinda over this tag, every one always cuts up kids' stickers and sends them.
Another wish for happy mail:
Again, loving the stickers.
A Christmas card:
This is the first from this swap, I should have 8 more coming.
A wish for 6x9 envelopes:
I had to hunt down my notes for this one, as the person didn't include a note.
A pocket letter:
A destash tag:
And an order I made from 5 Below last week:
All the blind bags from that order:
Getting that order made me feel like I did go shopping.

Bird pocket letter

November 21: Another boring day, I tried a flavored tuna and it was gross. I'm trying to eat healthier and I thought flavored tuna would make it easier to have protein. I don't like the taste of tuna, and the flavoring does not cover up the taste. I watched a few movies: The First Purge, the remake of Carrie and tried to watch Party Hard, Die Young. The last two were horrible. The remake of Carrie had Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie and Julianne Moore as her mother. They did not work for their roles. It was like Carrie was enjoying the state she was in after getting the pig's blood poured on her. I like in the original she was in a catatonic state. 
I got a wish for happy mail:
The stickers and sticky notes are wicked cute.
Also a wish for something Hello Kitty:
It's a very nice sticker book.
November 22: I finished Manual for Survival and got my laundry done. I also put together a few things to mail.
A sticky notes swap: 
A sloth, llama and unicorn tag:
A wish for sugar skulls:
A surprise:
A wish for happy mail:
Another wish for happy mail:
A wish for colored pencils:
A pen pack tag:
November 23: I signed up for an extra shift at work, we're a bit short this week. We started curbside pick-ups on the 22nd. It was fun, I kept busy my entire shift. It will be interesting to see if I do tomorrow. Night's are slow. I stopped at the post office on my way home and the grocery store. I'm not so sure I want to go to the grocery store on Wednesday, I feel it will be really busy. I got 6 things in the mail.
A wish for a Christmas ornament:

It's very glittery.
A Christmas ornament tag X2
I really like these, they are cute.
A bird pocket letter:
The other side:
And all the goodies that came with it.
Lots of nice things.
A sticky notes tag:
A Winner Takes All:
of memo sheets.
And a mashup tag:
We had to send something Hello Kitty, something with glitter, something pink and something handmade.
November 24: was basically a lazy day, it was rainy and cold all day. Found a few things in my mailbox. A wish for happy mail:
In this new group, the happy mail is always more exciting than the other group. Basically we can send whatever we want.
A wish for a sticker bomb:
A wish for octopus ephemera:
Wicked cute.
Winter ATCs:
I love it when people use eyelash yarn in their art.
A crafting swap:
It kinda felt like a destash swap when I opened the envelope.
A pen pal swap:
We had to send an embellished tag, a handmade embellishment, a decorated paper clip and a washi sample. Also, a pen pal letter.
Work was slow. We were a little busy in the 5-6 hours and then it tapered off to where we had 2 people in the last hour. I was kinda hoping it wouldn't be so slow.
