Snail Mail Review and Giveaway!!

Between email, Facebook and twitter, we don't really communicate by postal mail much anymore!  But Snail Mail Notes is here to help us regain this lost form of communication!!  Here is a little more about Snail Mail Notes from their founder Paula, found on their About Us page:

Photography has been a long-time hobby of mine. I am usually the person behind the camera with a group of friends or at a party.  I literally have copypaper boxes full of pictures I've taken over many years.

I also love the written word, whether I am reading it, writing it or sending it.  Some people collect angels or unicorns.  I seem to collect stationery. Greeting cards, note cards, writing paper.... I have a large collection in a container under my bed.

I began creating personal stationery for myself a few years ago, combining my love of photography and interest in writing.  Friends complimented my handiwork and I began creating cards as gifts, personalizing them when I could.   I gifted them to others, encouraging them to brighten someone's day with a handwritten note.
I have wanted to find an outlet for my creative passions for some time, and snail mail notes is the culmination of that search. 

Paula offers beautiful photography on single fold cards or small cards like the type you use for flowers! They are available with a message or without!! There are tons of designs to choose from!
I got to try out the Thank you cards!  The cards say thank you in english, french, spanish and other languages! Simple and elegant design that are perfect for any time you need to say thank you!! I also got a selection of the enclosure cards that are perfect if you don't have a card, or to stick in with a gift! Also great for flowers, or just a little note to say you are thinking of someone! I was so thrilled to receive such great note cards!!

Snail Mail Notes can even design a card! Check out the Commissioned work to see what else can be done! Any card you see on the site can be personalized! Use a picture from the site or use your own photo! Combine with a quote from you or a favorite scripture to create a one-of-a-kind greeting or gift!
