postcard writers need stamps.

Ms. Farran's class in Brooklyn, NY is need of stamps!

You can help her and her class out by donating to a great cause. You can choose any amount to donate and help her buy stamps for her class to send their monthly postcards to family!

Her Project: Each month her students send a handmade postcard to a family member or friend telling them about what they are learning in school. They share what they learned while strengthening their writing skills. They get the opportunity to surprise their friends and family with mail!

They are running low on stamps and currently have 46 cent stamps. The postal rate is changing and are in need of some stamps to make up for the 3 cent change. THey are also in need of more first rate stamps as well as international stamps for students who want to write to relatives overseas.

Help this teacher out by donating here!

What a great project! I hope these kids always keep writing!

advent day 2.

This weekend I worked on getting all of my christmas cards done and ready to mail!

And today, my advent activity was to mail out all of my Christmas Cards!

I decided to hit up the post office on my way this morning and drop them all off. I always hope that I am the first card of the holiday season that people receive!

Have you gotten your cards done and ready to mail yet?

o christmas tree.

This year Zach and I decided to do a very untraditional Christmas Tree!

I put up 24 red envelopes on our wall in the shape of a tree! It not only serves the function of our Christmas Tree but also our Advent Calendar this year! I have filled each envelope with fun holiday activities for us to do each day!

letter writing goodies.

I hit the jackpot with letter writing goodies while I was out shopping with my mom last weekend! IF you are out and about you should stop by Target and Michaels! They have some great things for a good price to add to your collection.

The Target dollar section has so many great things right now! I picked up two packs of the kraft label stickers, some kraft letter stickers and some robot stickers! I can't wait to use them all on some letter

I then hit the jack pot at Michaels! A lot of the stuff I got was on sale, so that is always a plus! I picked up a label maker and a pack of green and pink tape refills, a cute paper pad to use for mail tags in my letters, a pack of kraft mini envelopes, a pack of multi-colored letter stickers, and two cute donuts to put in letters!
