Almost There!!

So to follow up with my catching up post~ I've almost completely finished writing my replies :D
Currently I'm working on my reply to Justyna, then I have a new penpal in Turkey that I have to respond to~

From the top of my head I can remember that I wrote back to:
-Chantel (U.S.A)
-Lydia (U.S.A)
-Joey (Hong Kong)
-Elizabeth (U.S.A)
-Paige (U.S.A)
-Becky (UK)

Are my pen pals in the states outnumbering my international pen pals?? *gasp* hehehe just in this post they are :P I love all my pen pals equally <3

I received a package from Jae two days ago which I will post this week also. I sent her package out for her birthday and she also sent an early birthday package!

I have a package for Jeong-a ready to send out but I have to print her address in Korean also because she didn't know the english translation for her college address so I went to google translate, and translated it to english....so who knows how accurate it is! But I'm also printing out a Korean version so *hopefully* that goes really well!

I'm putting together a package to send out to Kyuhun soon, but I'm having some trouble finding Marvel things which is stressful, but I'll find them then I can send it!~


Senior year is really stressful >.<;; and it's only the 4th week!!! :O I don't know what to doooo and we're getting ready for college applications :( I don't wanna leave...but at the same time I can't wait to leave...oh man this is stressful.

Quick Update

Since school started there's barely any time for letter writing *GASP* but I'm finding some extra time to reply to the pile of letters I have!~
But for my pen pals in the states....I seem to have no stamps D: HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?? I have stamps for my international pen pals though~
My mom and I tried something a little different and ordered stamps online through the post office....last week and they haven't gotten to us yet :/ such stress.

Also I just ordered some winter stationary from Julie at penpaloftheweek.com
I'm so excited!! It's my first time ordering from her and I honestly can not contain my happiness right now! There's a 48- hour discount going on now for the winter stationary in the post so you guys should check it out!

I sent packages to China and Korea and it's been a while since I had heard about them and was getting quite worried, but I heard from them (on the same day! weird right?) that the packages were received safely!~ :)

I also just sent out a swap to the Netherlands!~ So I'm hoping that gets there quickly, I've never sent anything to the Netherlands before so I have no idea how long it will take. :O

Catching Up Post #2

 From Joey in China!~ She's so cute in her letters! :D The white paper that  didn't block out the writing, was to help her with an essay topic >.<: oh gosh... essays

Here again I used stickers but this time to cover up the letter contents~

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 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!

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 >.<;

Vacation + Mini Update #5~

Now I'm in North Carolina for vacation :) I'm not sure exactly when I'll be back home though >.<; I sent a few letters before I left and received letters from Elizabeth and Kyu-hyun. Our mail was put on hold for a week which after then my parents will be home. Though I'll be home after them. So I won't be able to respond to letters right away >.<;
I'm sorry!

Letter from Joey~

I got a letter today from Joey in Hong Kong, she was on a trip for a while so this is her reply beck to me from my last letter I sent a while ago!

This is the front of the envelope!~ With a cute Precious Moments design on it :)

The back of the envelope :P

The letter, but as always I blurred the content even though it always looks so awkward when I do...I'm trying to figure out a different way to do so!
The paper matches the envelope :3 It's so cute!!

She also sent cute little memo pads with a Chinese women in a traditional outfit.

A fifty cent coin from Hong Kong~~
This is also the second coin she's sent me from Hong Kong ^.^

New Letter~

I just got a picture from my dad saying I got a letter from Joey in Hong Kong!! :D
I can't wait to open it when I get home!~

Letter Count!~

So since I haven't been updating for a while I thought I would show all the letters I have now from the different countries I've received them from :D
**I have a feeling this is going to be very long, I apologize in advance >.<;**

^^ Here are nine (9) letters from Japan!~ I have two (2) pen pals from Japan, Rena and Anri

and they are both so sweet! :D

I have sent my replies to all their recent letters a while ago so, soon I am expecting replies :D

One (1) Letter from the USA :P From Kat in Nevada. I sent my reply to her but haven't received one back yet :/ I met her on a pen pal website and messaged her yesterday asking if she had received my letter, but she hasn't been online yet >.<; 

This is actually from a swap, from Spain. I just sent my side of the swap, which actually took a while because I couldn't read her address D: so it took a couple of emails to get it correct :P I'm not sure if we'll continue or not, I guess it's up to her if she sends another swap again :P

Six (6) letters and One (1) postcard from China. The bright orange and yellow letter in the back was actually my very first letter I had ever received, from my pen pal Rachel!  My pen pals from China are: Rachel, Jae, Joey, and August

Though I haven't received a reply from August from my last letter I sent out :/

These are two (2) letters from Thailand.

The big one in the back is from Fern, though I never got a reply back :( I also met Fern online and messaged her but she hasn't been on for a very long time :/

The white envelope is a holiday card from Ormmy <3 who I talk to on a messaging app almost daily <3

Four (4) from Taiwan. These are all from Chen, my only pen pal in Taiwan~

Her paper is always so cute!! Though I have to mail her a package of food she asked for and I am very late on sending because of exams >.<;

These are three (3) notes. The first one was from a food swap with a friend of mine in Korea, Miyoung <3 

and the other two (2) are from swaps. I think they're so sweet and I love to keep them :)

Back!~

Wah!! It's been so long D:
I've gotten letters recently and haven't posted them on here>.<; I'm sorry
But final exams are soon then summer!~~ which means a lot more free time!
So for now I have an updated picture of all my letters!~

Which I'm so happy and proud of!~

maybe tomorrow I'll put up all the countries I have letters from :P

Letter from Hong Kong!

Today I received a letter from Hong Kong in the mail!

I didn't want to show her picture cause I don't if she would have liked me to do that :/ So I just turned it over.

She sent a letter, her picture of when she was in 7th grade and 50 cent coin from Hong Kong! So cool!

Also....I'm kinda grounded now and this will be posted awhile after I typed it...

Mini Update

Just a little update so far...no mail this week :/ kinda sad, I feel so lonely with an empty mailbox!!
Remeber the post about that poor package to China I said that had been stuck at my house? Well it was sent out today!! Finally! I feel bad it's taken such a long obnoxious  time to send :( I hope my pen pal won't be upset!
Also two days ago I recieved my Vellum envelopes from amazon in the mail!! I thought it was a package from a pen pal though :/ but none the less I was still excited to get them!!
Today I went to micheals!! I got some paper to make as inserts for the vellum envelopes, more brads, ink pad, two stamps...hm I think that's it!
I was really happy with all the do signs I got on the paper!! So cute! I'll try to put up a picture tomorrow but I might forget to >.< sorry!

China bound Package

This poor package has been sitting at my house for a while :( hopefully it will get sent out tomorrow! To China and away! :P

Three down!

I got a big package sent today :DDD Yay!! I'm super excited, it's going to my first pen pal ever, and she's in China. I hope she's excited when she gets it.
I also sent out two letters, one to Sweden and one to my first pen pal in the states (I was looking for one in a state nearby cause it's not nearly as expensive as having international pen pals, and hopefully we can meet many times!) She lives in Arkansas!
That's my update for today!~
