Gift Enclosed

This week, I told you about the Benevolent Postcard Society. Even if you aren't a member, I hope it inspires you to write a postcard on your next holiday or make one for a friend's birthday.

Next week, it will be August and I'll be mailing another postcard. I wonder who it'll be for? But I'm not wondering what postcard I'll be sending out. Wanna see?

Remember this box I made a few weeks ago?

I'm putting my postcard inside!

"What postcard requires a box?", you say?

Well, this one's three-dimensional!

Blah: an empty decorative tin that

used to hold a jar of the most luscious

dulce de leche from Argentina.

It's so cute, I had to find a new use for it!

You can open it two ways.

I printed out a blank vintage postcard.

Then removed the original label from the can

and replaced it with the postcard.

{I'll attach the real one with a more personal

message once I get my pen pal's name}

And I just had to tuck a gift inside:

Tada!: A set of jacks!

Enclosed also are the instructions on

how to play jacks... to refresh her memory

or to teach her how to play if it wasn't

a childhood game for her.

My postcard fits perfectly inside the box.

Who says postcards need to be flat?

I can't wait to mail it!

Please do something fun this weekend.

Enjoy everyone!
