Monet and Me

are admiring some of the happy mail that has arrived.


All the way from Scotland, Tiggy sent a beautiful card she printed on her Letterpress printer. It makes me want to go to her Wee Hoosie to learn how to use the printing press.

For those interested in stamps, Royal Mail issued a stamp with the Three Wisemen. Tiggy also added some fun stamps on the front: a Christmas tree with red mittens and a Gothic letter C, her first initial and mine


on the back, a cheery reindeer


Cardinals on the return address stamp was a dead giveaway to the card from blog buddy, Finnbadger from Envelope 100



Finnbadger used the Winter Landscapes stamps. Kudos to the post office where you mailed your cards, Finn. A very nice and clear Christmas tree postmark.

I just loved the postcard you sent me of the Nativity scene.


My Christmas pageant is more crowded and I don't have any alligators. To those wondering, Godzilla isn't immolating the scene. He's using his atomic ray to warm the stable.


Robin, another blogger bud, usually makes her own Christmas cards. She said when she showed her designs to her family, they told her the designs were "wildly un-PC or downright offensive". I would have liked to have judged for myself. I do love the card you chose. Just wait until you see what I wrote inside your card! 😹

Thank you all for brightening my mailbox.

  1. Your Christmas pageant is always fun to see. I'm glad Godzilla is keeping it warm because it's cold today. Stay warm.

  4. Great to see the clear post mark on mine, and glad you enjoyed the card. Can I join you on a trip to Annie and hopefully use Tiggy's press?

    1. Yes,a trip to Scotland would be fun to have Tiggy teach us how to use the Letterpress.
