destroy ELGIN

Stop procrastinating- starting tomorrow.

 

Of course, one would never want to destroy Elgin, there would be no more DK, but it was amusing that it lined up that way. :D Have a bountifully creative weekend everyone!

Hey, DK! The contents of the envelope was worth every penny of the 20 cents postage due! I loved that the carrier left one of the old style envelopes, trusting me to drop it back in the box! I think the square-ness of the piece made it so that it could not go through the machine, that would account for the 20 cents... I had the same issue last week with a similar envelope I was sending to my cousin, except it was RETURNED to me for insufficient postage! There is NO consistancy in the policies of the USPS these days... LOL Could you read the bits as they were laid out? It was kind of comical, the way the contents mixed with the event. :D

Some rather lovely trashpo arrived for my cat, Purdie. I placed it next to her as she was sleeping (Purdie rarely collects her own post, preferring instead to be waited on hand and foot). Within seconds she was awake (hurrah, DK made her wake up at last!) and having a good old sniff of the intriguing, catnip covered art. I even caught her giving it a little lick, just to test its flavours.

Thank you DK, the queen of our house, Purdie, really enjoyed her mail, and has asked me to thank you on her behalf. And thank you for the wonderful extras you put in the envelope for me, the humble servant to enjoy too! ;D

stripey-love the penalty notice etc. I'd love to know all the ways to pay, since I already owe Lynn:)

Comment by DKeys on June 14, 2012 at 12:57am

That seriously arrived postage due??? I'm so sorry. It was a standard sized envelope! I don't get the USPS. Please send me a bill Lynn-glad you like everything and I'm amazed you fit everything on the scanner like that. Scanpo rules

I just opened the sweetest little packet of trash! Thank you, DK! It was like Christmas... all the ooohing and ahhhing! The following is my version of Scanpo Trashpo using what you sent and the addition from the USPS... More postage due Trashpo! Love it! :D

LOL Lynn--snotty tissue biopo--should come in a biohazard envelope:) I don't know if it's mean, but seeing your trash makes me feel better about our trash, which is actually under control at the moment. Thanks for posting Lynn. anyone else want to flaunt their trash? pretty please?
