Mini Update 11~

>>I sent out my reply to Chantel!~ Yayy, though I didn't take a picture of it before I put it in the mail box >.<; I also sent a first letter to Merve in Turkey. So hopefully soon my mailbox should have some happy snail mail! Since I got back home I haven't received any new mail D: Which makes me sad, especially because tomorrow afternoon I'll be leaving for NYC/New Jersey for the weekend! But I'll be home to get the mail tomorrow :3 soooo hopefully there will be at least one letter waiting for me! Unless all the mail comes on Saturday when I won't be home -.-

>>I have a few washi tape rolls, but as I was finishing letters yesterday, I finished 3 rolls completely!! So now I have to find a time to go to the store for envelopes, paper and washi tape!

>>I ordered a sticker bag from a shop on Instagram, which will be sent out on Saturday so I'll get it later next week! :D I'm so excited!

>>A little off topic, but I ordered a few albums recently and those should be coming in the mail soon as well, next week I believe~

>>Some of my pen pals have their birthdays coming up soon, I'm thinking of ideas to send special mail to them, any ideas?

Outgoing mail 29 July 2014

The two parcels I sent out on the 28th~ But since it's 2am now and all the letters I have will be going out on the 29th, the name has the date of the 29th on it!

This letter is going to Justyna, I had her letter last to finish from the last post when I got 5 letters when I was away from home~
I finished it and it's all ready to go in the mailbox in the morning!

My reply to Joey, I'm sorry the lighting is terrible in these photos >.<; I've been using the vellum envelopes more and more now and I really like them,
or also because I don't have any regular ones...

And in this photo there is a letter to Jae, who I am replying late to >.<; But also her birthday is coming up in September along with Rena's so I'll be sending them something special! Also there are 3 letters addressed to someone in the States, I'm sending her my excess FB's and i had to use envelopes to send them to her, she's supposed to send me some cute stationary in return, but we'll see! 

This is my last update of the night!~ It's almost 3am now so if I want to make it to the mailbox in time, I'll be sleeping now!~

Letter from Jeong-a in Korea~

The last of the 3 letters is from Jeong-a in South Korea! :D
Jeong-a writes to both, my sister and I. She sent her replies in one parcel, I received face masks and my sister received candy. So since I only received the masks that's all I'll post with her letter she wrote.

 This is what both replies came in!~

My envelope :3 with my letter in it! In the envelope there was also some stickers, and two photos of Jeong-a too!

Here you can see the face masks she sent me, I used one earlier tonight!~ They felt nice and  cold!

Letter from Joey in Hong Kong~

I also received a letter from Joey in Hong Kong as a part of my 3 letters I received!

 I was really surprised when I got Joey's reply because it came a lot quicker than her usual replies, and she said that now she has vacation she can reply faster! So I was really happy to get my quick reply from Joey~

She sent me a her letter, which seems to get longer with each reply and I'm really happy about! :)
A bookmark, a ticket from a water park she went to with her school, a little booklet cover I believe, and a note asking if I could send her leaves....which I forgot to put in the envelope >.<; I feel bad, I'll find some leaves and put them in a separate envelope to mail! It's all good!

Letter from Chantel in Kansas!~

When I was away I received 3 letters~ One of them was from Chantel! :)

I love how she decorated the envelope! It looks so nice, I want to be able to do this soon to envelopes so they look nice and make the receiver happy when they see it in their mailbox~

I didn't take photos of everything in the envelope, but just the main components. Her letter has the floral tape on it, and she included some photos on the other paper to the left of the letter, and inside the My Melody envelope are 2 B2ST photo cards :3 a photo of her hamster, and a sticker from a LINK event she just went to!








I haven't replied to Chantel yet, I'm hoping to finish her letter by tomorrow, but I don't think I'll be able to mail it out tomorrow as well because the mail woman comes around 11:00am and sometimes I sleep to 10:00am >.<; so it will most likely be in the mail Wednesday morning!~

Mini Update #10~

I'm not home....again, and during  the time I haven't been home I have received 3 letters! ._. does that only happen to me??
Anyway, I'll be posting them soon! I received letters from Jeong-a in South Korea, Joey in Hong Kong and Chantel in Kansas!~
This is a super short update cause it's late now >.<;

Outgoing Mail to Becky~

I'll start posting outgoing mail...well if I can remember to, I've been failing to recently so hopefully after this time I can continue!

 I like to add little bits of confetti to my letters so hopefully when my pen pals open them it makes them happy ^.^

Sometimes I like to use clear envelopes, but other times I get worried when I use them cause you can see everything inside >.<;

The bigger blue postcard is the one I was talking about in the post earlier~

Letter from Becky in England~

Today I received a letter from Becky in England~
She's 18 and emailed me after she saw my pen pal ad on penpaloftheweek.com

Her letter she sent me ^.^ she made her stationery which was really cool, cause if I don't have any stationery available usually I use graph paper >.<;

She sent 2 postcards though only one is in the picture. The other one we're supposed to see how many times we can send it back and forth to each other while still being able to write something on it each time!
She sent a British coin and a Swiss coin! :D  A stamp from when she went to Nepal and a cute bracelet~

Mini Update #9

I'm not sure if I said this or not ._. but in October a pen pal of mine from Korea is visiting NYC for vacation and I get to go down one weekend and meet her! :D I'm so excited to meet one of my pen pals, it's gonna be so excitinggggg!


update: I'm supposed to be getting 2 letters from Korea, one from Jeong-a and one from Rose, a letter from China from Rachel.

I have two parcels that have to go out, one to Chen in Taiwan and one to Genevieve in Singapore. I was supposed to send 2 to Genevieve but my dog got to them and chewed them open D: so it's been a while till I was able to get a a new one to send to her. I'm not sure when I'll be able to send them out though D:

I had three letters from a while ago that I never finished, and I finished them two nights ago with my other letters! Woo-hoo~

Mini Update #8

I sent out replies to all but one letter! I'm hoping to finish it later today, but I'll have to send it out tomorrow because the mail already came today! I got a postcard from Anri in Japan, but now she is in Canada studying so she sent me a postcard from where she is staying!

 This is the letter I received from Anri while I was on vacation, I sent her reply yesterday so hopefully when she gets back home she will get it! :)

  

 This is a letter from Elizabeth in NYC, the second letter I've received from her~

My first letter from Daisy!~ Who also lives in NYC :D
I love the envelope she used, it looks so cool!~

 My first letter from Justyna in Poland!~ Which I also received when I was on vacation. My first pen pal from Poland!~ :D

This is a postcard Justyna sent me before her letter :)

Mini Update #7- Almost Home

I'm almost home! I'm in Florida now for my connection flight back home!~ Though I won't be going straight back home... I'll be going to my grandparents in New York and my dad will bring all the letters I received when he picks me up! So I'm super excited!! :D
I haven't been told I received any other letters, so as far as I know it's the same 5 letters and Postcard I posted about the other day~

I'm so so so excited!!  Though I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to update everything >.<;

Mini Update #6 -- Letter Haul

I'm still on vacation at the beach, but I'll be going back home this Friday! Which I'm sad about, but also excited about because my mom sent me a photo of five letters and a postcard that have come in the mail since I've been gone! :D Which makes me super happy!

The first two letters on the top row are from within NY state~ The brown letter in the top row is from Rena in Japan!~ The postcard is from Justina in Poland, who also just received my letter! :D Yippie!~

The yellow envelope, I'm not sure who sent it because their name is on the other side, which I don't have a photo of D: but I do know it's from within the US, (does that make me a bad snail mailer? Not being able to tell by envelope and handwriting >.<; I'm sorry) 

The last envelope, the pink one, is from Anri who also lives in Japan~ 

I'm also expecting a parcel from someone in NYC, I bought some albums from them and hopefully they'll get home before I do, so that I have more mail to open and spazz about!

    

for this photo instead of pixelating the addresses I **swirled** them~ Ooh~ Aah~ hehe I'm not sure which one I like better though :/

UPDATE- I've sent out a few letters recently, one to Kansas, Poland, New York.... and one or two other places that I'm unable to think of now ._.

QUESTION--Should I do posts of outgoing mail I and as well?
