World’s Tiniest Tomato
Posted by: inkytrails on: August 16, 2009
This is my husband, Terry, with our tiny wonder — we think this could be the worlds smallest tomato. It’s long gone, but he just picked another tiny yellow tomato yesterday.. never knew they’d grow this tiny! Grin!

As the Beatles sang, “Hope is All We Need”….
In today’s economy that is certainly true! But this is a fantastic way for pals to help the USA regain some HOPE!
I do hope you will take the time to read this, and then REMEMBER…..
Write HOPE on your envelopes!

I was so honored to get this postal stamp recently…. thought I’d share it with you!
Thanks to Madeleine Brauer for sending her letter (and thanks to Lesley Sjardin, her New Zealand pal, for sending Madeleine to me!)
Sometimes, often times, its the very small things in life that make life so worth living.. making your heart jump for joy!
Anna Brooker Mail Art
Posted by: inkytrails on: February 28, 2009
I just uploaded a 2007 video of me showing off a very cool Mail Art piece I got from Anna Brooker in England.
Yes, its a few years old, the video isn’t great and that’s why I never shared it online… but I decided, today, it’s better to share it with other pals, so they can also do COOL mail art — instead of waiting until I like a video of me.. grin! (that won’t likely happen).
Postal Stamps on Letters
Posted by: inkytrails on: February 25, 2009
Sometimes the simplest things in life, give us pleasure….
Lotsa Stamps on Your Letters!
Just printed and stuffed some Kids Pen Pal Lists to mail this morning. Felicity from England is going out today… so I put SIX coloful USA stamps on hers!
A pink rose, American flag, blue bird, apple, Santa, Uncle Sam… fun fun! Kids get excited opening their snail mail, but imagine a little girl in England getting something bright and colorful!
I never use all the “old” stamps I have… I use the postal machine, much easier, but I thought this little girl might get a real kick (her mom too) seeing all the USA stamps!
I know *I* do when I get mail that someone stuck a few different ones on it!
Happy Writing!
p.s. Wish the photo were better, but I need to get ready for work… and couldn’t resist reminding you to look for pretty, cute colorful stamps as they DO add to the snail mail excitement!
