Celebrating Seven Years!

Today is my 7th wedding anniversary! 

We are celebrating in true parent-style, vacationing with our children, eating pancakes and sandwiches at the local diners, my husband currently stretched out on the sofa to nap while the girls craft and I quickly hop on the computer. 

No romantic, candlelight dinners for us, or a night dancing on the town...but right now I wouldn't have it any other way!

A Happy Mother's Day

My wish to everyone who IS a mother, who HAS a mother, or who has their own special memories OF a mother is a very Happy Mothers' Day!

I am having the extra pleasure of spending Mothers' Day in Ocean City, New Jersey, on vacation with the two little girls who make me a mommy, and the man who made it all possible.

Monday marks our 7-year-anniversary.  But those are images for my next post...

A Mailbox Mystery

I recently discovered the delightful, upbeat blog of Mary England, called Lust for Life.

Mary is a 20-something, mail-art loving, positive-energy giving blogger who lives near Baltimore, not far down the road from me.

She recently gave away some Hallmark postcard packs she found while thrift shopping, and I was lucky enough to win one of them.

Because Mary loves mail art, just like I do, her package to me was lots of fun:

I think the very best part was her Moo card, which listed her name as "Mary England, Life Enthusiast"...how great is that!?!

And the postcards were very sweet:

Now here comes the mystery:  The envelope arrived with the bottom slit open; however, it did not appear that anything had slipped out.  Included in the contents were a handful of photos that looked like they were taken at a prom in the 1980s; the back of the photos, however, said that they were developed at WalMart just this month.

When I asked Mary about where she got them, she didn't know anything about them!!

Now, could it be possible that someone opened my mail to put something into the envelope, rather than to take something out?  Is this some sort of mail prank? 

A mailbox mystery, to be sure.

I still haven't heard from Bonnie, the winner of my recent giveaway. If I haven't heard from her by Sunday, May 20, I will be drawing for a new winner from the original entries.
