I can't believe that we have been going for only two months. There has been so much giving and receiving already. I have really enjoyed getting to know all of you through the mail. I have loved and appreciated everything I have received. I have really enjoyed visiting all of your blogs and seeing what you have sent each other. I think we have achieved the mission of Good Mail, to keep thoughtfulness alive through the mail!Thoughtfulness begets thoughtfulness and for that reason we have grown really fast over the last two months. I have decided to close the blog to new members at 50 members. If you have any family members or friends who are interested in joining, encourage them to do it soon. Also, there is no end to thoughtfulness and I don't own the corner on Good Mail. I think it is great to see ladies branch out and start their own Good Mail groups too.
Thank you all again. I can't even tell you how happy I am to open my mailbox and find a little something for me. It always makes my day. You ladies are the best.
Happy Blogging and Happy Good Mail!
You had the best idea ever. I love reading the stories and looking at all the pictures all over our little slice of Blogtopia.
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie :)
is there still time to join?
ReplyDeleteyeah! it finally posted my comment. please ignore my posting on the other blog....I think I figured it out.
ReplyDeleteTrish!
ReplyDeleteLong time no hear. Geez you are up early, woman.
Send me your snail mail and your b-day and I will put you on the list. We will be lucky to have you.
Well not so early. I hadn't adjusted the new blog yet to be set for Mountain time.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, good mail is great. Is there any way to find out if some one hasnt gotten any yet?
ReplyDeleteI have some cards ready to go and would like to send to some lonely mailbox.
Good Mail rocks and you've done an awesome job organizing it. THANK YOU ANNIE!
ReplyDeleteAnyone? Anyone?
ReplyDeleteRaise your hand if you haven't received any Good Mail yet.
I haven't, but I'm new to the list, so I can't expect miracles! :)
ReplyDeleteAnnie, you are awesome!
Call me slow.....are you closing your good mail list at 50 members or are you closing your "Anniethology" blog at 50 members?
ReplyDeleteKimber- I will be closing Good Mail Girls to new members after 50.
ReplyDeleteGetting closer...
OK.... what excactly is the good mail club? I am worried that if I joined I would be a disapointment..... because I am very forgetful.... and might forget to send something..... also, does everyone know each others addresses?
ReplyDeleteyay! that is cool. i'm glad to be a part of it. but, i have also decided that i really need to send good mail to my FAMILY members and friends as well as the good mail girls.
ReplyDeletei'm also with jean who asked if there is someone who hasn't gotten any. b/c i would love to send some to those girls too!
I do have to add here Annie that I have started a good mail list for personal contacts as well. I know women who are struggling and so when I go prepping for good mail, I prep for them as well. I love this concept!
ReplyDeleteDedee- I am so glad you are branching out as well and especially reaching out to women how need some support. When I close my Good Mail blog to new members, maybe I can refer them to you, if that is okay.
ReplyDeleteMom2princess-
ReplyDeleteGood Mail Girls is a list of names and addresses that I have collected from women from all over the blogosphere who want to reach out to each other through snail mail. We send each other cards, little goodies, recipes, feathers, whatever.
The idea behind Good Mail is keeping thoughtfulness alive through the mail. For me it's kinda like having my childhood penpal back, except I have 50 instead of one! There are no rules or quotas. It's about fun and thoughtfulness.
Since you are my cousin, you are an automatic-in if you want. E-mail me if you want to know more.
At first I was overwhelmed by all the stuff I got around my birthday. I know that sounds weird, but I understand that this is a reciprocal venture and I fretted about postage costs. I almost dropped out. But now things have settled down and I'm super happy with my 1-2 card a week pace.
ReplyDeleteSo, to you newbies, be warned, the Good Mail Girls really pay up at birthday time.
OK, you have finally convinced me to join ... hopefully I can be a good member. I am always worried about people expecting too much :) !!
ReplyDeleteI finally realized that I already have addresses for quite a few fellow bloggers so I just started sending stuff. It's so fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to join, but I can't figure out how.
ReplyDeleteSorry- lame.
Lisa@Madsenfamily.net.
Thanks-
Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Anymore takers?
ReplyDeleteNo, you're the best! Thanks for bringing this happiness into our lives. =)
ReplyDeleteThree cheers for good mail, Annie! O, heck make it Four Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI have been an early bird this summer. I get up at 5:45 for Turbo Kick Aerobics. Crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Birthdays. I did not consider that...
ReplyDeleteAnnie, you can put me back on the list. :)
Trish,did you change your e-mail? Write me with your new address.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should start a Canadian Good Mail blog. =)
