Celebrate PAO Challenge - Edited

I am behind on this... but I'll still be creating and sending ATCs to you all

I have some ideas and now need to get some extra time to sit and create! That's also why I've opted not to be in the recent card swaps... I just reached the brick wall with trying to actually create. But I'm getting there!!

[Monica]

Have you all gotten mine yet?

[paddlegal]

Monica, yes! Love the “cancelled” and of course the hands warmed by coffee is perfect. So I have yours, Pat and Pam’s. Sorry I didn’t comment as they’ve come in.

I am curious if anyone has received mine? I sent them out on January 29.

[Monica]

I swear I got yours, Farley, but I can't lay hands on them at the moment.

I have Monica's and Debi's ATCs today!

Monica's 2020 reminds me of that old song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off!"

Nothing yet here, Farley.

[paddlegal]

Oh that worries me since I sent them 1/29.

I have Monica's, thank you.

On a side note, Greg mailed a check for lawn mower repair early in December. There was some back and forth between Greg and the shop about payment. Stop payment was put in place for lost check, and new check submitted. The LOST check arrived at lawn mower shop in early February. CRAZY mail. Dejoy wants to do away with 1st class mail, and raise postage costs. OH BOY...

You know, I'm guessing that a whole lot of the post office's revenue comes from all of those advertising bulk mail things that go out. I wish they'd do away with THAT rather than legit first class mail. I get so much unsolicited GARBAGE (including multiple copies of local/municipal magazines that I never opted in to), that I often miss important stuff in the pile. I'm sure I've even thrown away important stuff that got stuck in a pile of coupon mailers.

One would think that if they cut back on bulk rate stuff and concentrated on just doing a quality job with important mail, we could cut back on so much paper use, and mail delivery could be so much more efficient! I totally get that without all of the bulk rate or other types of mass mailings that the amount of staff may need to be reduced, and that's always unfortunate. But I fill up a full kitchen sized trash can with mail that goes straight from the mailbox to the bin, EVERY WEEK. Perhaps less mail would get lost if the postal system didn't have so much other clutter to deal with.


OK, back to ATCs.

[paddlegal]

Debi I got your super ATCs today. Love that blue glitter!

[nchoney]

That's a Bo Bunny glitter gel that I had never used before! It was nice to work with. I might find some more and start using it more.

So pretty Debi. Thank you.

[paddlegal]

Did ANYONE get my ATCs I sent out on January 29th, 2021? I mailed them at my PO directly. I know Monica thinks she got mine but I would love to know if anyone else got mine? If not I can at least post my two cards here to show you.

Please let me know. Thank you.

[nchoney]

I didn't get them. But today we got the valentine's card my mom-in-law mailed on Feb 5th and she lives 2 hours away. I bet your atc cards will be here soon!!

[Monica]

Farley, I've gone back through everything and I don't find any from you. I did get Debi's over the weekend.

[paddlegal]

I’m so bummed. I hope they eventually turn up before the 13th anniversary. So sorry.
