Missionaries love getting mail, and Haley has made it easy to send them something a cut above the usual.
Check out all the super cute stuff she has created to bright up your missionary's mail box.
The Snail's Mail!!!
For the Love of the Snails
My love for "snail mail" started about
three years ago while my (now) husband was in Italy for 2 years. During
this time, we were in the dreaded long distance relationship. He left
when I was 18 to serve a mission for our church. I know that this time
away was a crucial part of our relationship. I missed him, of course,
but knowing that we would marry when he returned kept me sane (well...as
sane as it gets).
I know, I know. Married at 20 years old? We must be crazy, right?! Let me tell you how we met. :) At the ripe age of 11, my parents moved my family from Las Vegas, Nevada to teeny, tiny Idaho Falls (of 60,000 people. Yeah, get a grip, Haley.). I remember driving through the town when we first moved there and passing the zoo. The camels were out near the road so the drivers could view them. These camels were the oldest, ugliest things I had ever seen, and their lumps looked like they were falling off their backs. I couldn't help thinking, "Where in the world have my parents taken us?!" I swore I'd die before I ever liked this town.
That was before I walked the halls of Sandcreek Middle School and met Chris. He had longish hair that kinda flipped out at the ends, and a really cute freckly nose. But let's get real, I was 11. It was a total crush. But a crush that never really ended.
Fast forward 10 years. I'm now 21, happily married to my middle school sweetheart for one year, and we've got 3 little pets. Our "babies" we like to call them. :)
During his mission, Chris wrote me a letter every week. A real, live, handwritten letter. With like...paper and a pen. We could email as well, and we did, but he could only email once a week too. So the rest of the time he would write letters.
Boy, did I love my mailbox more than I had ever loved it in my life.
I want my customers to be able to share that same feeling with someone they love and care about. The products that I sell here at The Snail's Mail are to help promote using a little more ink (pen ink, that is), and a little less technology when communicating with those that we associate with.
When is the last time you talked via snail mail? It's so much fun! And I know that your recipient will greatly appreciate the gesture.
Let's use a little more of our pens, and let these snails get some exercise.
