This year I'm having fun adding a strip of decorative tape to the bottom of each envelope that I send. There are so many cute patterns and styles of tape available right now.
Receiving mail is fun, too. I've already received a number of cards, but today I want to show you one of my favorites so far from this year. It's Santa Kitty! This card did not come through the mail; my friend gave it to me in person. The card accompanied this gift of a reindeer mug and a box of tea. The name of the tea--"sweet cinnamon spice"--describes its flavor perfectly. It's a roobois herbal tea, and I can definitely recommend it to all you tea lovers out there.

I totally agree about mail and it is so sad that my son's generation is not going to have lovely letters to look back on like we do because they really don't seem to have the need to send snail mail. He does still send a card to my Mum because he knows she loves to get mail. I tried to resurrect my love of letter writing this year and started out with such eagerness and wrote letters to my friends and family only to get an email or instant message in return except one... a very good friend of my Dad whom I have known since I was 11 years old (and I am 60 in a few weeks) who wrote back to me and we have continued with letters between us every couple of months and he must be in his 80s so is old school enough to still appreciate a handwritten letter. Happy T day and keep sending that mail with its lovely colourful strip (I am so stealing that idea from today)!! hugs Annette
I don't get snail mail anymore and rarely send it, and most people I know are the same. I guess maybe if I sent some, I'd get some? ;) I love your idea of adding that decorative flourish. Sweet. Happy T Tuesday!
Oh I too LOVE getting and sending cards and mail! I have also used the tapes along an envie on different occasions:) Adorable kitty card and mug. Happy T day!
That tape will be a big hit with the postal people. They seem to like mail that is decorated. I want some cardinal postage stamps. Wish I'd known about them when I was at the PO last week. I'm sure the cards were festive, and I also love sending and receiving cards this time of year.
Bleubeard adores Santa kitty. He gives it two paws up, and I give two thumbs up to the friend who gave you the tea and reindeer mug.
Thanks for sharing your Christmas mail, your mug, and that lovely sounding tea with us for T this Tuesday.
What a cute kitty! Love it! That was kind of your friend. A lovely present and a packet of very nice tea. It would be the sort of thing I like drinking.
We are having really lovely weather here. I'm sitting on the terrace baking in the sun and have had to come in as I can't see the screen very well!(Indoors it is cold mind! Tonight we will light the fire).
Happy T-day and have a good week,

Love the idea of the tapes on the envelop. Great kitty card, I have a Christmas pullover with a Christmas cat and dog on it.... Enjoy your new tea! Have a good week, take care and happy T day, hugs, Valerie
You have a wonderful variety of festive stamps! I am not good at sending out cards...it is usually what falls by the wayside when we get too busy. Love the idea of the tape decorating the envelope-fun and colorful! happy T day!
The tape border is a lovely touch! I wish people still sent mail...I always enjoyed having penpals when I was a kid, but I bet they do that by email, too! It is such a nice touch to pick a special stamp for each card, too. Make mine Elvis!
I too love letters and cards and...well, mail! ;) Just got into the washi tapes this past year and they are so fun! I use them as extra assurance in holding the envelope closed. Sweet gift!
Happy T-Day! :)
Wow! What a fabulous choice of stamps! Great idea to add tape !Happy T day! Chrisx
