I know it's easy to compare me to Mary Poppins. We have the same name, carry extra-large bags, and fly on umbrellas, but that's not all. I'm sure you're familiar with the song "Spoonful Of Sugar", but what I bet you didn't know is that Mary Poppins doesn't take any...
Happy Monday, my dears! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and that you've been sending out more mail than me! I can't believe how little I've sent out in the past two weeks. It's kind of upsetting. I got very sidetracked with holiday cards, which are really the only...
Last week, I got a plain white envelope in my PO Box. There was no return address and my address was typed, and while this may sound uninteresting, it stood out the most in my bundle of colorful postcards and envelopes. I opened it before I got home, and was extremely...
I mentioned that the Postal Museum in DC is hosting a snail mail social on the second Thursday of every month, and since it's December, this month's was holiday themed! Lots of people came, some with their own cards to decorate and some ready to make cards from...

Did you know that today is Gingerbread House Day? Have you made one yet this year? You can pick up a kit at most craft and department stores, although, I would like to advise you to look closely at what comes in your kit. Charlotte and I had a great time putting ours...
Hey! Is your ground covered in snow? Lots of places got snow this week, including Baltimore! I hope you're staying warm. Are you working on your holiday cards? If you've got an extra, you can trade it in for a zine! If you're in the DC area, join us for a holiday card...
Every month, I host an event in the community, and this month I asked people to join me in Mount Vernon in a tacky sweater for a photoshoot. Thanks to Jason, Ashley, Munchel, and my dad for meeting me and being such good sports! We had a good time, even though it was...
Last month, I was on a guerrilla kindness mission. I walked around the Inner Harbor slapping stickers on poles, leaving goody bags and notes for strangers to find. Months before that day, I had started carrying around a self addressed/stamped bubble mailer with a...
On Tuesday, my friend, Brian, posted a link he found on NPR that reminded him of me. First, I looked at the pictures, like I usually do, and then I saw "Baltimore"! I realized that this intensely wonderful hopscotch crosswalk was in my city! I threw shoes on and got...
