Lots of mail

March 18: work was super slow, it was pretty windy out and did not feel the temperatures it was. I put together a cute pen tag:

A rainbow tag:

I had originally had some gemstone stickers, but they were so bumpy in the envelope, I was afraid it would have to go as a parcel, so I switched to these stickers.
Found a wish for tea in the mail:

And another wish for tea:

March 19: Finished a book I've been reading since December, it's 488 pages, the longest book I've read so far this year. I was getting to a point where I was just done, but I was so far in I needed to finish it.
 My friend never got back to me about hanging out on Thurs or Fri, it's so annoying, she's the one person who I swear is busier since the pandemic. I told her when I'm free, I'm done trying. 
I received a wish for something yellow and tea:

I'm excited to try this tea.
Another wish for something yellow:

Not sure how much of this I'll use.
March 20: Blogger rearranged my pictures so these are backwards. I received a wish for something kawaii:

I'll be passing it on to someone else, I don't do coloring books.
I finished decorating an embellishment box for a friend. 

It started out as a 12 pack of Hatchimals, clear glittery pink plastic on the top and purple plastic on the bottom. I covered the top in a vintage dresser scarf and the bottom in an olive green fabric. I decorated it a bit and filled it up with fun, I hope she likes it.
I put together a Random Act of Kindness for happy mail:

And another one for happy mail:

And one for gnomes:

This person has asked for gnomes and specifically St. Patrick's Day gnomes in the past, I figured I'd send her some Easter gnomes as a surprise. I had 3 of the wooden yellow gnomes, one I bought myself and two that came in a package, so I totally had to share with her.
I received a wish for happy mail and something yellow:

I love those stickers on the left side, they're so beautiful.
Another wish for something yellow:

This is the 3rd yellow thing I haven't liked. I seem to like more of the stuff people scrounge out of their stash vs store bought things.
I received a wish for something kawaii and happy mail:

So many fun stickers.
I received a butterfly tag:

I really like those stickers in the middle.
And a silly tag:

Not interested in these, they will be passed on.
March 21: laundry took extra long this week, the washer did something weird and I had to run it for another cycle. I put together a color swap:

We are to send at least 10 items in the colors of blue, purple and orange. I thought for sure I'd have a hard time finding orange (or at least orange that wasn't pumpkins), but I had a harder time finding purple.

I put together a flower swap:

Again at least 10 items.
Made a Y card:

I kinda wish I had yellow ink.
Made a couple ATCs for a wish.

I really like the butterflies in the jar.
Mom called while I was putting things together and asked if I had looked into getting a vaccine, I'm trying, it's not so easy to find an appointment, plus I don't have a vehicle, so there's that and I'm still on call for jury duty, so can't really plan anything for this week. She always seems surprised when I tell her I've researched things, sometimes it's easier to just say no, I haven't researched, but then she mentions all the things I've already looked it. We talked about Easter a bit, I bought some plastic eggs last week and I want to put things other than chocolate in them.
March 22: I put together a wish of something kawaii:

I was going to send the coloring book, but I didn't feel like paying the postage. I spent the day worrying about jury duty. I did go to the post office, so I had that taken care of if I had to go in. I know worrying about it doesn't help anything, but I can't help it. 
I received a green swap:

Why do people do this? Buy holiday stuff after the holiday and send it out? You can tell they shopped at the Dollar Tree, I find it very hard to believe you couldn't find 5 green items without buying stuff from a holiday that has passed. I like the lip balm.
A wish for tea:

My tea container is getting kinda full.
A wish for happy mail:

I like the stickers and Please Deliver to labels.
A St. Patrick's Day pocket letter:

Only they sent a mini pocket letter instead of a pocket letter. Very disappointing.
A Random Act of Kindness:

Nice variety, unfortunately I'll probably pass most of it on.
An embellishment box:

I love these, I'm not so great at them, but the most interesting things come in them. This one has a handmade tiny banner, pom pom paperclips, mini tassels, stick pins, and resin charms.
I received my Secret Sister package.

They nicely wrapped some things for me.

I'm not a patient person and opened it all. I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I did say I liked octopuses, colored gel pens, avocado themed things and sloths. Another package that mainly came from Dollar Tree, and they had to pick a religious piece of chocolate? I wonder if I'm just wound up from being so stressed about jury duty.
I put together a bunny tag:

I was going to make something and then found the sign.
A flowers tag:

Thankfully, I do not have to report for jury duty. I can move on to other stressful things to worry about like getting a vaccine, and all the fun conversations I'm going to have with people this week about wearing their masks correctly at work.

Bunnies

March 15: I put together a wish for something galaxy:

I finished a couple rainbow themed Artist Trading Cards:

I also made a bunny pocket letter:

I picked up these cute bunny erasers at Dollar Tree a couple weeks ago, they are wicked cute.

I put together a Random Act of Kindness for travel ephemera:

And a rainbow tag:

I put together a swap package:

The person I was sending to, didn't really say what they liked, so I kinda went with a spring themed package.
I received a replacement book in the mail:

I had ordered this book a few weeks ago, the one I got had pictures for a different book but had the stickers for this book.
I received a pocket letter:

I kinda freaked out a little thinking I had missed mailing something out, especially when I saw the mailed date (3/12), turns out the person just mailed it 3 days late.
I received a flat item tag:

I love the stickers.
I also received a clover tag:

 March 16: Blogger rearranged my photos again. I received a Dollar Tree item in the mail:

It was for the face mask, which I don't use, so I passed it on to a coworker.
And a wish for happy mail:

I put together an embellishment box with some packaging I had gotten from some toys. 

It's from a 12 pack of hatchimals. I love the egg carton theme, thought it would be fun to make an embellishment box with it. After I filled it, I shook it, but there is space between the eggs, so things mix up very easily. I decided it wasn't something that could be mailed.
I put together a craft kit tag:

A favorite color of yellow tag:

An Easter basket filler tag:

My friend and I went to lunch at Pizza Ranch and then a couple places shopping afterwards. I was not very impressed with Pizza Ranch, they had their buffet open, but all the seating was also available, and there weren't very many pizzas out, maybe 4 when we got there about 11:30. It was ok, but I won't be going back any time soon. I learned that I had received my tax refund already and kinda wanted to spend it.
We went to Walmart:

I picked up a cute bunny filled with eggs, I want to fill the eggs with something fun, not candy, a mini calendar, a Cutetitos, some bubble mailers and a notebook. I ended up spending only $24, that's a pretty cheap trip to Walmart for me.
We also stopped at an Asian food store:

custard buns, chocolate filled biscuits and taro bubble cakes?. All very good. Work was pretty slow, Tuesdays generally are.
March 17: wore about as much green as I could (ok not quite, I could have worn a green skirt), wore my olive green leggings, a black skirt, a St. Patrick's day Tee and a glass bracelet. Work was pretty busy, lots of things going on, I wonder if tomorrow will be as busy. I was going to only buy green things at the store as a challenge, but I was too tired, I need to invest in some better footwear. 
I found a wish of tea in the mail:

I found more money in my bank account when I got home. I really want to spend money now. At least I don't have to worry too much about money right now. I'm still going to try to not spend as much.
