You've Got Mail!

I love these cute little mailboxes because they tie romance and crafting together...two of my favorites!

Wouldn't it be fun to write your spouse a love note and put it inside a mini mailbox? Don't want to do a full love note....how about a series of mini love notes leading up to Valentine's Day? Each evening, put the flag up so they'll know that "they've got mail"!

Here are some embellished mailboxes that I think are ridiculously cute!

Is that scrapbook paper you think? I see the ribbon but the rest is a little hard to tell what it is

Cher said...

So very cute. I think my girls would love this more than my hubby. Where does one find these little mail boxes?

Hey those are my mailboxes! :) What a compliment to be featured.

And to answer some of the questions, yes it's scrapbook paper. And you can find the mailboxes at Target during this time of year (seen them 3 years running now) in the dollar section and on Oriental Trading year round.

OMGoodness!! I found you thru a post on Pinterest and had to post these to my board. I did link back to this post if that's ok. Thank you for your inspiration!!
