I love Good Mail. I love sending it. I love receiving it. I love the whole idea of going to the mailbox and finding something other than a bill or junk mail. I think Good Mail can make a not so great day a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S day and make someone smile just knowing that they were in some one's heart and thoughts long enough to make the effort to let that person know. Good Mail is a REALLY good thing.
The mailman really delivered this past week. He brought Good Mail THREE times!!! Twice for me and once for Jordan. Yep it was a good week! AND I was even able to get some Good Mail sent off to a few people on my Good Mail list...by the way...are YOU on MY Good Mail list?
The first little bit of Good Mail I received was a really beautiful perfume bottle from my sweet friend Chrissy (private blog, sorry). She knows that I love and collect unique perfume bottles so she said when she saw this one in a store while on vacation last month she thought of me and bought it...cool huh?

I really wish it photographed as lovely as it truly is.
I tried a few different settings on my camera
this one I took with my finger over the flash,it turned out too cool not to share
Thank you so much Chrissy. The perfume bottle is so beautiful and adds something really special to my collection. Your kindness is very much appreciated! Then I received a really sweet note from Amy. This was the first time she has sent out Good Mail and she talked about it on her blog. It really is a good feeling to send it, isn't it Amy? Thank you So much for the lovely letter and the beautiful picture of the pansy you sent. Your daughter is quite the photog.
Jordan received a package from SuperHotMama's daughter S. Those two girlies have been exchanging Good Mail for a while now and J loooooves it. Anyone else with a teenage daughter interested in exchanging Good Mail with Jordan let me know. She would love to add to her Good Mail list too.
S put together a fun package of babysitting helps for J.
along with babysitter notes, a planner and a form for parents to fill out was a pack of hot sauce from Taco Bell.
This had J perplexed. "What do you think the hot sauce is for?"
Big Daddy suggested it was for punishing a "biter" or a "sassy mouth"J was not liking his ideas...but she thought about it...
...then she said, "well maybe. It might work to put a little hot
sauce on a sassy tongue. Unless they like things spicy like me
then, it's like party time for the naughty kid. I would have
to talk to their parents and find out how they handle that stuff."
So do tell SuperHotMama...the hot sauce was for what? Were you just trying to make us think?!? It was most def a conversation starter...AND it had us laughing at the craZy guesses!
J loved her Good Mail and said,
"S is so cool. This is perfect for my babysitting business!"
Good Mail...I am LOVING it. Join the fun. Get on MY list. Start sending Good Mail of you own and feel the love! It really does make my heart smile...I want all of you to feel that too!

I MUST know what the hotsauce is for!!!!!!!
I want to love Good Mail, but as it is, I just feel guilty because I am NEVER organized enough to reciprocate. I know. I am so SO lame.
Your Good Mail is awesome though. And it totally fits with the way I think of you. Generous and super fun!!
I LOVE good mail!!! Thanks for sharing!
That's so cute that your daughter is involved. Kids love penpals.
You are awesome! How do I get on that list?
And hot sauce- likely- I totally use it in my house. Has not happened often, really, I think only twice per child (not the baby yet) and Llll-oooo--nnn--gggg time in betweens (we only tip the bottle to our finger and place our finger on the tongue - milk and bread are always sitting right there)!!
Wow, how cool are those pictures and I'm glad you got some great Happy mail! :)
I love getting anything, non bill related in the mail. It's just like Christmas!
It's true how fun it is to send good mail! I sent my first good mail a couple weeks ago and loved it!
Hot sauce.. hmmm...
Good mail rocks!
Heeheehee! It was the message on the sauce... I think it said, "Make a wish." So, of course, I thought of you! Glad you enjoyed the fun package!
i was gonna say, it had to be the message on the packet. :)
Lovely perfume bottle indeed. That is great to receive good mail and send one out too. What a great idea!

Beautiful perfume bottle! Oooo Good Mail...I'm jealous of that pansy photo, they are soo pretty!
I remember the babysitting days. The only difference to having your own kids...you can return the kids to their parents! I still loved it though, it was fun. I bet Jordan will do great at her babysitting biz!
How fun. Love the perfume bottle.
Alright now you have us all curious...make sure to tell us what the hot sauce was for when you find out. Your daughter is adorable...and yes GOOD MAIL is such a lift to the spirit!

Oh wow, I missed a lot!
We all came down with the pukey flu this last week, and it has put our house out.of.commission.
I had some serious catch up to do and my reader is in the triple digits too.
Beautiful perfume bottle, and yay for good mail!
I think I want to participate in the give-a-way...but have to read more about it first. :)
Happy PSF! And Halloween!
I totally love your idea of good mail!!! I'd never heard of it before... and it rocks! That would totally make me actually want to go pick up my mail, instead of leaving it there for about a week and then FORCING myself to go, lol.
So how can I get on your list?
=0D
Hooray for good mail! I love getting fun mail, too.
Happy Halloween!
Good mail sure sounds like a great idea to me. We all like getting things in the mail besides bills I couldn't agree with you more! What great surprises you got. :)
Hey, that whole "visit the person before you" is a good idea.
I am totally down for being part of this Good Mail club. I sent you my addy already, just making sure you remember me! (Oh, and gimmie some directions on how this thing works too.)
*excited for our little project!*
Had never heard of this. Sounds fun! And, loved the pics :).
Happy Halloween!
I haven't heard of this either...how FUN!!! The perfume bottle is way too cool!
~melody~
Oh and Happy Halloweeeeen!
I haven't been by in so long! Your daughter keeps getting more and more beautiful.
Great babysitting kit!
Gotta love the positives. There is so much negativity in the world today. What a great way to spread happiness.
That is such a neat list. I need to check it out.
And I vote biter....it's crossed my mind.
Loved the pics. Your daughter is so grown up. Having a babysitting biz is a great idea at her age. Love the good mail idea.
YAY for good mail. I have that phone message note pad that i leave for our sitters. Looks like J is on her way to being a great babysitter.
awesome! good mail is FABULOUS! i am seriously feeling some guilt. i totally owe you some good mail. hold out a little longer. it will be WORTH the WAIT!
the longer it takes me the guiltier i'll feel the better it will be.
i love good mail! thank you for the good mail you sent to me {i blogged about it the other day}
and
hot sauce??? wow....that would make me "think", too!!!!
What fun good mail. The perfume bottle rocks! It's so rad.
I got some good mail last week! From you! And it was right up my alley. On the fridge for my lists as we "speak." Thank you sooooo much! I guess I didn't even know you had my address. Is there a database or something? I included your good mail in a post I wrote yesterday. It made me very happy, and I really needed it!
Ooo I have something like that! I didn't realize it was a perfume bottle!
Hi there! Stopping by from SITS...how have I not come here before?? LoveloveLOVE everything about your blog! I'm debating joining the swap---I so want to, but know things are b-u-s-y in the next few weeks...but what a fun idea! And I love the GoodMail encouragement. Who doesn't like to get good mail??
Awwww...I get good-mail-envy everytime I read about you getting some. I know I should get on the list, but I know I would SUCK at returning the favour, and that's just not fair!
But how awesome that J is getting in on this love-action too. How cool!!
Wish I was the private Chrissy to take credit for such a sweet good mail package. But I am the worst good mail blogger out here. I love the bottle it looks so cool.
J would be the best babysitter!!!! I would so call her if we lived close.
i just got my good mail from you!! thanks for the pop rocks!!!! I have something to send you!!! I'm going to send it out this week!!
