In The Mood to Mail

I think I may have mentioned that I'm a recovering perfectionist. I often have an overwhelming desire to send the perfect piece of mail and/or the most amazing care package in the history of care packages! I confess I have "pinned" unbelievably awesome snail mail ideas and "blow 'em away" package examples in the hopes of recreating something like that myself.  But these projects usually require me to buy new supplies and package ingredients, making a special trip, and spending more money to do so.  Therefore, more often than not... I don't send anything. (Boo)

If there is one thing I know for certain it's this...the package or mail you do send is way better than the so called "perfect" package that simply remains an idea.  I'd been wanting to send the elder Murphy Brother another care package.  I'd carefully collected my thoughts and ideas for the perfect package.  But before I knew it, he was telling me about midterms coming up!! I decided to scrap the perfect package plan and send an actual package right away!! I wrote him an encouraging letter (I feel that the words you write are the best part of any snail mail! They can last forever!) and added a few little candy treats (with clever pun tags), a "lucky" pencil for writing midterms and a little bit of money (every college student's favorite item!).  I packaged everything up in a padded envelope I had in my snail mail stash and headed to the post office. In no time at all my actual package was actually mailed! Magic! 

Go postal, everybody...whenever the mood strikes! (He who hesitates sends no mailbox magic!)

XOXO Mrs. Murphy
