Incoming mail, from Katzi

 

 

 

Over the past week I've been attacking my room with cleaning and organizing. These are some more photos from the other day that I didn't post. I filled up one of the containers that used to contain beads, that now contains all my snail mail goodies!

 



I also got one of the gifts wrapped for my friend, since it was hiding in my closet but I have no room for it now! I wrapped it with the tissue paper she used for my gift(s)!



Along with the post office run I made to get stamps, I also wrote mail to my maybe soon to be ex boyfriend? I have no idea what's going on with us, and he won't even try to fix anything with me.... but I like how cute it came out which is why I'm putting it on my blog.

 I wanted to try out the Washi tape from my previous post, and it works excellent! I love the scotch brand. This is an outgoing letter I wrote as a reply from Marian's incoming mail. I was too lazy to find my pretty stationary paper because I just finished moving everything around in my room. I also decorated the paper with cute lady bug puffy stickers, as well as neon dot stickers I bought @ Target a few weeks ago. I also included one of the hearts she sent me! I love how cute the mail came out, I just need to decorate her envelope and buy some stamps and then it's getting sent out!

June goodness

Fab ended up re-opening her website, The Postal Society! I'm very excited, I love the site, all the graphics I can tell she hand made, and it's all so cute. It's easy to join, and a great way to find pen pals all over the world, as well as join fun swaps and contests. I've been looking forward to the site to come back, because I feel like before it kind of just stopped abruptly.

For the month of June, the contest is to make a floral inspired envelope... with all my wedding magazines, I'm sure I can come up with something!

"April Showers..."

Today's title is, "April Showers". Today is the first day of April and I woke up to the pouring of rain! I'm so excited, I love rain.

Anyways, to start this blog off, again, I thought I would try to give a little update about what's been going on in my life that deals with snail mail. I feel like over the past few months I've lost correspondences but, also in those same months, I've gained new pen pals that I often hear from! Included is Katzi, Marian, Fab, and Carmen. Also, thanks to Fab, I now have 2 new pen pals that are from the UK! I actually got a really interesting envelope from one of them. The envelope, once opened, turned into the letter. I've never seen that before! ( Photo below. ) I feel so grateful to have people to write to! Sometimes I'm a little slow, because I need more stamps! Story of my life! But, now that I'm employed, that will change very soon. I have about 5 envelopes that need stamps as of now.

Stay tuned!

Valentine's and Snail Mail

Over at Fab's blog (http://wreckthisgirlsblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/are-you-looking-for-penpal-ii.html), I was recently featured on a post to find pen pals, and the emails started coming in! I have some potential people to start writing to, which means I can now start back up with Snail Mail Saturday! Below, is a photo showing outgoing mail for one of my new correspondences, with goodies excluded from the photo :x

I also started back with trying to get in the mode of taking digital photos when I'm out with my friends, since that was something I really enjoyed doing. My friend's birthday is coming up and trying to figure out which of these photos to use for her birthday card!!

Also, when it comes to Valentine's Day, I received these really pretty flowers (as you can tell from the outfits I chose for my friend, I'm a big advocate for flowers...)
