I had soooooo much fun making my eighth craft till Christmas - a Pretend and Play Mail Carrier Kit (actually two of them). The best part of this kit is that any of the pieces can be made for adult gifts or repurposed items. (I personally would love to receive a unique set of fabric stationery and postcards for my birthday next month - wink, wink, hint, hint!)
I'm finally wrapping up this craft with a post including all the links to the tutorials. Click on the words not the pictures. Enjoy!
Craft on!

What a fun activity for kids. This brings back such sweet memories of when I used to keep all my junk mail and when my little grand daughter would come for a visit I would give her "her" mail. She was always sooo excited to open it :o)
That is so adorable my kids would love that!
Are you kidding me? I LOVE THIS! I need to do this!
So sweet! Your kids are going to have a blast with that!
Is the set complete now? :o) Once again I love all these ideas...you are so crafty! Thanks for linking up at PonyTails&FishScales!

This is amazing! I can't wait to make one for my girls school room! Thanks so much for sharing!
I just finished a post office set for our 4 grandchildren. They are going to love playing with them. They each get their own mailbox. Each family gets a mailbag and plenty of envelopes, stationery, postcards and stamps to share.
I completed this project for my daughter for Christmas and we both love it! Your instructions were great and it came together with a couple of nights effort. I can't wait to try more of your projects. If you'd like to see mine, check it out here;

Sorry, I messed up the link portion (forgot the quotes) and didn't want to leave a junky looking comment on your blog, so hopefully this works better - original comment follows...
This is the cutest project ever! I'm definitely including a link on my blog - gift ideas for Christmas It would make a great gift idea for kids, or as you said, for adults! I wouldn't mind if I got a few of those fabric postcards myself!
I really appreciate this kind of your Christmas gift ideas that you shared to us. So simple yet easy to make it. Thank you for this.
