In My Mailbox - 9/6/9

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren :)

So, I was visiting family last weekend and didn't get a chance to post my mailbox loot.
What does that mean?

Do you guys like the pictures? It look a long time to get them all looking right (and I'm sure after I actually post some will still be a little wonky :) but I'm a very visual person and love seeing my pretty books looking back at me!
