This is my mail week so far, how has your mail week going so far?

My mailbox was so happy on the day I received these envelopes

I love this blue color for an envelope

I messed up my lettering on this yellow envelope but I sent it on it’s way since the stamps was already affixed to the envelope. The one with the watermelon sticker made me crave watermelon yum, and it was one of those scented stickers hmmm smelled really good.

Love those shiny happy stars, they are so cute and I am almost all out of them too. I might have to try to find some more soon.

Swap I sent to Teresa H on swap bot, love the pink just love it. It was a cocoa with compliments swap two packets of yummy cocoa with a sweet compliment written on the package. The note card was made by Teresa H and I embellished it added some bling and off it went.

Cute cup cake sticker and my new cup cake mailing labels, I love cup cake anything 🙂

I am not going to visit the post office today, but I have two more letters to write and I will be all up to date. I will visit the post office again tomorrow and I hope that I will find at least one letter there that I can work on over the holiday weekend.

Till we meet again at the mailbox.

Went to the post box and what did I find? This is what was in my box!

I was tickled by those little spreaders and so were my kids. My husband made first dibs on the hazelnut chocolate square and I got the mint one. Yum mint is my favorite.

This is what I sent via the post office:

Cute vintage business cards and address labels, simple but I think they are pretty. The labels were adorable too puppy dogs and cut flowers with lady bugs. I like them so much bought a set of the stickers for my use as well.

On The Money Money – Financial Update Feb

LET US ALL APPLY FOR OUR SHARE OF THE STIMULUS...

I really need to do these update more often for our sake. Keeps me accountable to actually see it in writing, and also motivates me like nothing else can.

I have been using Mvelopes now for several months and I have not regretted for one minute signing up for it. Though I really need to use it more diligently in order to help me keep our food budget down. This is really for us one of the envelopes that is hard to keep down.

Our emergency fund is now at $3388.00 which is only 88.00 more than in January, hmmm I need to tweek something here. Need to make sure I am updating this more often. This needs to be improving on a regular basis and it is not improving right at this moment.

Here is a resource I used before I tried Mvelopes that worked for me that were FREE.

Excel Monthly Cash Flow Budget Sheet From It’s Your Money – I used this sheet for a long time and still have it, since I never know when I am going to want to go back to doing it without Mvelopes. It is a great resource to use so check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.

In the mean time I will behave and update finances regularly, when tell your money what to do there is less chance someone else will tell it what to do for you.

Have a great Monday!
