Mail Out
This week I started by sending my journal out for a trip through the mail.
It was a challenge getting it ready to go, because it was very thick.
Taped up, almost ready.
When it got back, I was actually disappointed. It hardly looked any different when it got back. So, I stripped off some of the tape and decided instead of throwing it away, to just stick it inside.
Nice cover after stripping.
Decided to leave the tape on the spine, for now. I’m sure the cover will come off again, later.
Funny that the taping and untaping did more damage than the postal trip itself.
Feeling a little “postal”? Go Wreck a Journal.

Gives new meaning to the phrase, “going postal”. I guess you live in an area with gentle post masters. This is one thing I haven’t done yet, I might wait until the end and see if the post office will accept it – wouldn’t that be funny it they won’t! I do see some proper damage this week even if it looks the same to you.
