Sunday afternoon we put our Christmas letter inside the Christmas Cards and we sealed them all up. Monday I went to buy stamps, the cards had so much fru fru that they were heavy and needed more postage.
I bought one post office out of extra postage stamps and had to go to another post office to buy the rest of them...attach them and send them off in the mail.
I can cross a couple of things off my list. I also mailed my far away cousins old photos of their family members. Yes it would have been fun to visit my cousins in Tennessee, Kansas, Alaska and Florida...but that was not happening.
My brothers have picked up their old photos, my sister still has a box full here.
I figured I was all done with that project WHEN my baby brother announced that he found another box or two of photographs while searching for some sewing material for Mom in her storage unit. He said I will be busy next Summer.
Seems like that movie Ground Hog Day except with me and photographs.

Did you label the photos somehow? If so, what did you use & how did you do it?
ReplyDeleteWow, good news travels from your house. That’s a bunch of mailings.
ReplyDeleteWe had some snow and now it is pretty cold. 9 degrees this morning, which is fine but I'm not quite used to the cold yet!
ReplyDeleteGround hog day with photos!
My brother inherited all of my dad's slides and finally gave up after days and months of sorting and scanning.
I bet the Post Office was happy to see you! LOL!
Oh my goodness, there must have been a lot of photos taken over the years.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your letters and cards in the mail. I have yet to start and I only have a short list.
You are so organized and disciplined. I admire that because you are a blessing to many - - those receiving cards, ornaments, and other things you create with your hands! You don't waste a minute God has given you. Plus you are smart to rest when your body needs it so you can do the things you love later.
ReplyDeleteThank you once again for sharing your days with us!
My Christmas cards should be ready to pick up today, so I probably should get the address labels printed. And a short letter needs to be written. I don't send out as many as many folks.
ReplyDeleteSallysmom, Yes I label the original photo on the back with a Generals Scribe all photo pencil from Creative Memories.
ReplyDeleteI just watched Ground Hog Day for the first time. I understand about old photos turning up forever! I sure hope yours have names and dates on them!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a blessing to your entire family for all the work you have done with these precious keepsakes.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've gotten a lot done already. Our cards went out on Friday. That's a relief, although I do still have to sign the ones for the mailbox at church. It's a great way to save postage! I do still have to mail a package to our Montana kids. I better get on the ball and get that done this week.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Wow, that's a lot of cards! Ground hog day 😄
ReplyDeleteAt least it's a fun project - I love looking through old photos!
ReplyDeleteI’m so far behind this year thanks to my nagging back pain. I doubt I’ll put many decorations out or mail too many cards.
ReplyDeleteStamps are insanely expensive. Your Christmas cards are true/over-the-top amazing gift to all to receive them!
ReplyDeleteWow! You got your cards out already--whoohoo!
ReplyDeleteTwo more boxes of photos--OMGoodness! Yes, you will be busy still. It really must feel like Groundhog Day! :)
Thanks for the email.
You are lucky to have all those photos. Good on you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteYou and FG are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI guess we'd better figure out what we want to do about Christmas cards/letters.
The Santas went up this morning!
My Goodness. You send out more Christmas cards than anyone else that I know of. Good for you 💚💚💚
ReplyDeleteI have spent the last few days doing Christmas Cards, I do send out quiet a lot by some peoples standards and not many by other peoples standards.
ReplyDeleteWe won't have Christmas visitors this year so we will share all of our things with our blogger friends. That gives us time to get all our cherished decorations up. Ground hog day, yes it is. I hope people know how much time is involved in all of that. May brothers say they want nothing but I bet if I send things they really would like them. Take care, your north migration must be coming soon.
ReplyDeleteEverything has already been said, but I'll add my own WOW to the others. Congratulations on getting all that done already, and nobody could make as much get done as you!
ReplyDeleteWow.....your cards are on their way. What a great job to get done....sorry it cost you more this year. You and far guy are a couple of awesome souls! Now you can look forward to going through all the pictures your brother found at your Mom's....but maybe not til next summer?
ReplyDeleteYou can cross that off your list - Yeah! It sounds like the post office needs a better supplypp~ that is crazy. More pics, I bet those boxes of pictures keep popping up.
ReplyDeleteThe Ground Hog day analogy is funny! Your family is so lucky to have you doing all that work. I have a 2nd cousin that did that in our family but won't share it because she said she paid for Ancestry and she did all the work. I would have donated had I known but with her attitude...I'll pass. LOL!
