Envelope-palooza!!!

Well, this is a very special post at Please Deliver To because I’m announcing my first giveaway! I’m not a huge proponent of the term “giveaway” because a typical giveaway has a single (or a few) winner(s) and you’re all winners in my eyes. Awwww…. all we need is a heart-to-heart conversation and this post will turn into an afterschool special. So I’m terming it an envelope-palooza. Which is a bit of a misnomer because palooza suggests something wild and adventurous, but who knows? The day is still young.

What is envelope-palooza?

I'm giving away one envelope of things that I think my fellow snail mailers would enjoy. Basically it's an envelope of fun! Here are the contents of the envelope:

Kawaii letter sets:



Two washi tape rolls (red flowers and blue flowers):

Handmade envelopes (made with love and some cursing along the way):


How can I win?

Leave me a comment with your email address by Thursday, July 19 for a chance to win! I'll use a scientifically sound method to pick the winner (ie: randomly, but I'll wear a lab coat to make sure it's all legit). Good luck! It's all elephant parades and contortionists when the envelope-palooza comes around!

One last thing: if you enter the envelope-palooza, it would be great if you could actually follow my blog or be a regular visitor/occasional commenter. It’s a bit of a pet peeve when people enter to get free things from blogs, but don’t actually follow or visit afterwards. Please be considerate, don’t be the person who swings by to get something free, just to disappear into the night without a word. Say hi, I'll be nice, I promise. Unless of course you're a zombie—then I'll have to introduce you to my friend, Mr. Axe. Otherwise, I'm sure glad you came by.

  2. Hah, luckily I'm one of your very early followers because I luuuurve the way you write. Even though I don't comment often I make sure to step by whenever you have a new article online.
    And - I'd love to win that goodie-bag! Those selfmade envelopes are beauties! Of course I also like the Washi Tape and the Kawaii letter sets.
    Is there any special occasion for why you're offering your first giveaway?
    Take care!

    1. Hi Caddi! Thanks for entering envelope-palooza! Honestly, the "special" occasion is just my own impatience. I was planning on waiting until I got to a nice round number of followers, say 50, but then I figured why wait? 50 followers might take months (if ever), so I just thought, why not now?! I wish I had a more exciting story, rather than this lame one, but that's the story morning glory! :)

    2. Well, you did have the round number of 40 and you are already three up, so it might happen that you gain 50 followers with the envelope-palooza! Wishing you good luck on that side (oh and good luck for me with being picked haha)

  4. Oh, I forgot about the e-mail address: funny enough, I don't have a problem with posting my snail mail address, but I don't like to have my e-mail address out in the internet... so I hope it's okay if the only "online" way for you to get in touch with me is posting a comment on my blog (www.postsuechtig.blogspot.de) :)

  16. Ooh, the handmade envelopes look lovely!

    I'd love to enter. I just today set up a new email, madwild24@gmail.com

    I do follow your blog, but not officially since I don't have a Blogger account. I have been reading your updates for a while though, and will continue to do so, so I hope that's satisfactory enough! I haven't left a comment before though as I usually don't have anything interesting to say :p.

    I love your blog though, the letters you send (and receive!) are always so pretty. I look forward to seeing who wins the giveaway :)

    1. Okay, apparently opening that google account today means I have a Blogger account attached to it. I don't entirely understand, but the general gist is that I think I can now follow you officially, or at least subscribe by email. Yay!

  38. Hi Laura,

    I followed! I just found you by way of The Missive Maven. I'm a new snail mailer still collecting stash and blog links (though I did send out six messages this week, either notecards or postcards.)

    I love your envelopes. I've been eyeing the western-style template at Jetpens for a couple of weeks now. One day I hope I'll be making envelopes as nice as yours.
