Mailbox Monday for Week of August 15th

Every Monday, I love to share some of the neat things that I got in my mailbox the previous week and I encourage all of you to tell me about the special things you got too! These special things can be gifts you received, special greeting cards or giveaways you won on the web!

Shelly – Back in late May of this year I participated in a blogging campaign for ORKIN and my reward for the participation was this cool bug catching kit that I received. My 7 year old grand daughter loves going out to catch butterflies, moths, ladybugs and lightning bugs. Yes, we practice catch, observe and release! We are a no-kill family unless it’s nasty things like spiders, mosquitoes, bees and beetles. Ick!

In addition, my good friend Brian who lives up near Boston sent me a new magnet for my refrigerator featuring a Manatee! He was just down to Florida on vacation and last year we started sending each other refrigerator magnets to places we travel to. I just sent him one featuring the Wildwood beach last month and 2 weeks ago I sent him one from our trip up to Mount Pocono. Fun!!! The Pope magnet you see in the photo is one that he sent to me last year, so now they are side-by-side on my freezer.

So, what kind of goodies showed up your mailbox last week? Get any cool giveaway prizes, gifts, freebie samples, etc? Please…don’t mention the junk mail or bills, we all get way too many of those!
