Neither Snow Nor Rain Nor… Prolonged Blog Post Droughts…

What’s up, mailbox mates? Did you forget about ol’ Mrs. Murphy? Well, I’m still here and I’m still making mailbox magic! That’s one of my favorite things about snailmail as a hobby, it’s always a welcome surprise to receive some actual “Good Mail” in the mailbox no matter how long it’s been in between letters. In that same spirit I hope you, dear postal pals, are pleasantly surprised to have a new blog post from Mrs. Murphy. ☺️

Much has been happening in Murphy-ville!!  The most wonderful event has been the addition of another grandchild! Mr. and Mrs. Murphy-Boy-Wonder have added a bouncing baby boy to the family! Mr. (Papa) Murphy and I are overjoyed! This grandparent gig is the best! Mini Murphy was born at the beginning of summer and I’ve already sent him some snailmail. Yay! 🥳 

Another exciting event has been the Murphy Move! With all of these Nextgen Murphys in the works, Papa and Granny Murphy wanted to be ACAP (as close as possible! 🤗)!!

Sorting, purging, organizing and packing is probably good medicine for everyone every 20 years or so, right? 🤪 We are definitely downsizing and trying to dispose of unnecessary stuff and clutter to the best of our ability. I have NOT however gotten rid of any SSA (Snailmail Supplies and Accoutrements)! Another perk of snailmail as a hobby…few, small, flat, easily packable supplies are needed for unlimited results!! (Everyone knows the best part of any mailbox magic is the words that you write!!) ✍️ 

Moving is always bittersweet. One looks forward to a new adventure, a fresh start in a new home and town. But it is with great sorrow that one moves away from dear friends and neighbors. 😢 Once again, snailmail is the answer! Not only can we create delightful snailmail to make our creative hearts soar, the letters (hopefully) will connect us with our former friends and neighbors and bring them joy. Winning! 🥳 📬 🐌 And if you’re really lucky they will write you back! 😉 

So don’t let snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night (or even really long hiatuses 😑) keep you from sending some snailmail!! It’s always magic!! 

XOXO

Mrs. Murphy ❤️
