The Good Mailing List

On Friday I picked up my mail and there was a really big white envelope waiting for me. It was thick and I automatically assumed it must be a wedding invitaation.

But inside was this beautiful black invitation. I love printing. And this card has everything I really appreciate in a well designed card: clear embossing and stamped gold foil.

I have no idea how I got on this mailing list though.

A single ticket to this event is $900.00 Or I could be a co-sponsor and get a table for 10 for $90,000.00. I don't think I will be meeting Stanley Tucci. And I am sad to say I won't enjoy the dinner designed and prepared by Jamie Kennedy.

Happy Sunday Friends!
