We have winners!

I don't know what those reasons were, but they were the most accurate. I sent 1,141 pieces of mail during 2012, and Michelle was only off by 32.  Congrats, Michelle!  I've got your address and will be sending a little packet of stationery items your way shortly.

 

Plus! as promised, I entered the number of entries into Random.org and it awarded the second packet of stationery stuff to Alegna101. I'll mail it out as soon as I get her address from her.

Thanks for playing, and especially for reading the blog!

2012 in mail, and a giveaway!

[crappy cell phone picture of some sent mail]

2012 was a record year for me in mail-sending terms. I know this because my OCD record-keeping lets me look back on my spreadsheet and see what I sent (and how much I spent on postage).

I also have piles and piles of excess stationery, and Dan and I are trying to start the new year off with less stuff and more space.

Let's play a game!

Guess how many pieces of mail I sent from January 1 to December 31 of 2012. Place your comment by January 21st at 12:01 AM Eastern time, and I'll give away two packets of assorted stationery -- lettersets, notecards, postcards, and the like from various brands and crafters -- to one person whose guess is the closest numerically (above or below the actual number is fine), and to one person whose name is drawn randomly. Be sure your comment somehow includes a way to contact you so I can get your address, if I don't already have it.

P.S. I'll give you a hint: I finished my first year of participating in MailArt365 in 2012.
