AnchoredScraps October 2018 Letter Writing Blog Recap

Our October 2018 Letter Writing Blog Recap for AnchoredScraps begins with Cooper’s Halloween Greetings, details for requesting the 2018 Halloween Pictorial Postmark, and a reminder the October Letter Writing Challenge ends today!

Cooper Halloween 2018 Greetings

First, we have Cooper greeting us with his adorable Halloween costume. My sincere thanks to Pawville Surf City for the wonderful job they do with the sets and costumes.  We will be greeting our Trick-or-Treaters this evening as bumblebees. The bumblebee costume Cooper will be wearing was handed down from our beloved Cuddy.

2018 Halloween Pictorial Postmark

Next, with the magic of the USPS and Comstock, MI there is this 2018 Halloween Pictorial Postmark available for the next 30 days we can send off for in the mail.

The full instructions are found in the current Postal Bulletin 22505 from October 25th.

Think of it this way, you can get all of your Halloween cards together and send them off with this postmark and it will look deliberately sent this cool way!

Lastly,  I’m including the monthly recap.  This month was daily blog post numbers 1314 to 1344. In case you missed one of the posts below, or just wanting to go back and re-read a few, here you go. Enjoy!
