"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...)
