Just a short snapper. (I love saying that.)
I've always had pen pals but lately I've been meeting some new and VERY interesting people that are also into the postal arts.
I do have some cute stationery but I usually prefer making something up on my own. Lately I've been using things that would normally go in the garbage or recycling bin, making them a little prettier, and giving them a second life by mailing them to

Me: Yeah.... by the way, don't play him for money. That's a free tip.

Love Shelley!
