Out Going Mail & Christmas Cards

Posted on November 23, 2023 by debbieosborn

More outgoing mail with postcrossing cards and a pen pal letter with one of my new stationery designs.

I am glad to be sending a postcard from a museum I went to in Ipswich UK (bottom right). It’s a small museum packed with history. The Ipswich Museum is worth a visit if you are in the area!

I have also managed to give time to my Christmas cards and get them done early. This meant I’m gladly giving time to send my greetings rather than getting stressed about them and they are all ready to put in the mail box. 🙂

So more happy mail to be sent out, always a good thing!

Letter Writing Sets

Posted on November 6, 2023 by debbieosborn

I’m happy to be making and sending out two of my handmade letter writing sets that are available in my shop. I love making them as much as I do using them myself so it’s extra special when someone likes them enough to buy them.

First outgoing Mail of November

Posted on November 2, 2023 by debbieosborn

Well, I’ve been in my new house since mid July and I’m gradually getting organised and getting mailing done.
This image shows some postcrossing cards going out to Turkey and Germany, a Fakenham town postcard and a Norwich city flag. I am happy to be sending letters to my loyal penpals Susanne in Switzerland and Natalie here in the UK.

August Outgoing Mail

Posted on August 10, 2023 by debbieosborn

More outgoing mail for August.

Postcards going out to Yuzu in Taiwan and Frederike in Germany. Frederike asked for a bird postcard so I am sending a postcard with a photo that my husband took of a Rook.

I’m also sending return mail to Susan in the USA. What beautiful stamps she had stuck on my letter! I have written to her on my Echinacea design writing paper.

Out Going Mail

Posted on August 5, 2023August 5, 2023 by debbieosborn

I’ve been super busy with unpacking after moving but still able to make a little mail. I’ve also been notified by Postcrossing that I’ve been a member for 12 years, wow!

Two letters going out to my penpals in Giovinazzo and Palazzolo in Italy.

Plus two postcrossing cards with images of Fakenham, going to Ota in Czech Rep. and Mariela in Germany. The Stamps are the first definatives to be released with the Kings head on them, and I’ve also added on both some of my own faux postage.

House Move

Posted on July 26, 2023July 26, 2023 by debbieosborn

After moving house and not blogging for a while I’m happy to be writing from my new home and sharing my first two postcrossing cards to my new address. Hurrah! I’m very excited as this house also a letter box that comes straight into the house, so my post drops onto the door mat.

These cards were both sent from Germany, from Heke and Johannette.

I’ve decided to share stamps as well as the actual mail because I also love the stamps and it will help me enjoy them more.

The coronation of King Charles III

Posted on May 2, 2023 by debbieosborn

I have created some faux postage to commemorate the coronation of King Charles III to send out on my mail during the month of May. I can’t say I’m a royalist, but I do resect our Royal Family and what they stand for.

I have used a crown design that I produced previously, just because I like it and am happy with how the stamps have turned out. I am also pleased to have finally worked out how to get the perforations in the right place!

Colourful Mail

Posted on August 2, 2022 by debbieosborn

Colourful mail leaving my house the last few days. Mixed Postcrossing postcards, pen pals and mailart.

I’m very happy to be sending out such a mixture of mail and knowing such lovely people to send my mail to. I always have my thinking cap on so that I can encourage, bless or make people laugh.

Postage Stamp Perforator

Posted on July 14, 2022 by debbieosborn

Wow, at last, a proper perforator! I am so pleased with this purchase. It can only perforate up to 15cm but I’m still so happy 🙂 I had designed these stamps celebrating the women’s Euros in anticipation of my parcel.
