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.
