Outgoing Mail March 14: The Small Stuff

These Christmas cards are part of the swap-bot "Christmas Cards in March" swap. I think Christmas cards are fun any time of year!


This postcard goes to Brett for the "I Traveled Here..." postcard swap on swap-bot. Funny, this was the first time I've had a male swap-bot partner!
