The Young One made some Halloween cards for friends that go on a weekly Dungeons and Dragons quest.She hand-lettered the envelopes with bone shaped letters and used the Dragon stamps coordinating colors with the color of each players dice.
Even though she mailed the letters a couple of days before Halloween, recipients received their cards on 10. November. Two envelopes were being delivered to Massachusetts and the remainder were going to Ohio. The motto of the USPS is "we deliver for you" just not always on your schedule.
Beautiful lettering, you baby has inherited her Mom's talent! Post here often takes a long time these days, their service gets worse to balance out the rise in prices! Valerie
ReplyDeleteShe did a great job
DeleteThe quote is obviously not true if it took that long to get to another spot in Massachusetts. usually it can make it here from NH to MA in a day or 2. Huh! Maybe they were thrown by the black envelopes. Happy Monday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt was probably the hand-lettering and the scanning system didn't know what to do. The envelope would then sit and wait for a human to read and sort.
DeleteWhat a shame they didn't arrive in a timely fashion, but what a fun envelope that would be to get in the mail whenever it arrived!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was a little disappointing, but well received when the did arrive.
DeleteBeautiful! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? Great job Young One! :D
ReplyDeleteOnly when she does something good. Bad habits/traits come from Himself's side of the family. That's what my dad always said. =^,.^=
DeleteReally sad after all the thought she put into these cards. I wonder if anyone got the color connection of the dragon stamps, too. It took four days to get a letter and my updated password from my local PBS channel and they are no more than 9 blocks away. If I'd known, I would have gone there and even saved them a postage stamp.
ReplyDeleteI think the players would have recognized their dice colors. Yeah, sometimes it would be faster to hand deliver.
DeleteThat is so cool! Looks fantastic!!! She did a great job!
