Above you see a picture of the boxes which recently were mailed from my home. Nothing uniform about 'em. In fact, I think my husband was quite embarrassed hauling the potty chair box into the Post Office! But hey, those boxes are what we had on hand. And we got a good laugh out of it. (The potty box was headed to a family with three little ones, so I knew they would understand.)
This is the way my in-laws have ALWAYS mailed things...letters, boxes...you name it! (This box was covered front AND back.) My husband's side of the family has a few avid stamp collectors who well, collect great stamps! Imagine my surprise when I opened up one of my magazines (Which one? Uhm...Country Living maybe?) and saw them suggest the same thing!
Oh and a note to the Postal Service - not ONE of the stamps had been cancelled on the above pictured package. NOW what am I supposed to do? Re-use them or trash em? Moral dilemma. *smiles*

My daughter's birthday invitation last year was mailed out in a similar fashion...
So, this is the way we post things around here. It's good to take a common task, such as mailing a letter, and add a twist to make it fun! Be silly by using a diaper box to mail something to your brother or stick a page full of 2 cent stamps on an envelope. Yes, there are times to be very tasteful and send packages full of tactfulness. But hey...lighten up a little and enjoy a basic task for a change.
