Sometimes Care Packages Don't Make it to the Port in Time and totems

So, go figure, they changed the schedule again...So I scrambled and rushed to get a package in the mail...Not soon enough. I sent it on August 8 and the last tracking update says it arrived at USPS facility FPO, AP on August 12 but the ship has already left port and he never got this box. It's okay. There wasn't anything homemade in it so it's not like it will spoil.

 OK, so I didn't realize I was supposed to send him with a stuffy he could take around with him and sometimes take pictures of it in places to send to me. Haha! Some of his friends who have kids were sent with stuffies to do this with. I've also seen info on others' blogs calling these totems. He was telling me about it and then I got him one (this cute little baby malasada (click here to find out the amazingness behind malasadas)). I took her around a few places on the island and snapped some pictures.

Maybe I should have written, "Aloha"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I also invested in stamps. (I got them at walmart). Anything that looks like a really great drawing in black...is probably a stamp.

 This is a box we used to use to send each other packages last year. I started the plane when I found it as a die cut in some of my scrapbooking supplies. Under the question mark is the outline of California with a heart near Chico (where i lived last year). I was going to draw in his ship on a card placed over the CA but then, I had to send this box faster than expected so I just drew a question mark which is true because it's not like I know where the package is going.



There are secret messages under where the stars are. I wrote him a note on the outside (I put it in an envelope that tells him there are secret messages on the outside of the package. I didn't tell him that the stars make the locations of secret messages. I just put a star sticker near the note I made about there being secret messages on the outside of the package. Also, here's my trademark whale. I didn't have time to come up with a punny statement including the word whale, so I just drew one real quick.
