52 Weeks of Mail: Week 7- Thank A Mail Carrier

Jolene

Week 7 of my 52 Weeks of Mail Challenge was inspired by the hard working mail carriers who help make snail mail even possible.  February 4th was Thank A Mailman Day, so I decided to leave a little love in our mailbox for our favorite mail carrier. 52 Weeks of Mail: Week 7- Thank a Mail Carrier 5

I found the galvanized metal envelope at Michaels.  I cut white card stock to fit inside the envelope.  I used red polka-dot washi tape and a black marker to write "Thank You!" on the washi tape.  On the backside of the note, I used a glue dot to attach a Caribou Coffee gift card.

That's how I said "thanks" to our mail carrier.  Did anyone else leave some goodies for their mailman or mail lady?
