Today I received my order from La Papierre~ 

The photo is sideways and I'm not sure how to fix it on my phone >.<; I apologize! But I was super excited to open it and find forty sheets of stationary!

There are two designs, 20 sheets of each design. The think the black one will make great stationary for this month cause of Halloween around the corner! Though there were supposed to be stickers as well-- I ordered air mail stickers too but they weren't in the envelope :(

Incoming 10/03/2014

I received a letter from Lydia in the states, and I also was able to write and finish her reply within the hour! Whooo~

 

My reply

I got some return address labels printed up! They also came into today so I was able to use them for the first time! Yayy!~ They're Japanese Cherry Blossoms~ 

My letter opener also makes an appearance cover my address and Lydia's address.

I bought a kawaii bundle/pack on etsy too which also came in today! But I've taken it all out and organized it within my boxes :/ so I can't really take pictures now, but I ordered another one from a different shop, it's a random pack of large letter set sheets. So I'm super excited for when those come in! I also made two more orders from penpaloftheweek's la papierre~ 

The first order was two letter sets, SOTW 13 and 14 then I used the 30% coupon which ends TODAY, and for my second order I got 40 sheets for $16 and via air mail stickers! I can't wait for these all to come in!

Today I received two letters!~ The first letter was from Becky in the UK, but the envelope was torn at the top and something was lost :( I'll let her know that in my reply..

I also just received a postcard from Italy!~ Becky is in Italy now~ 

Then I received a gift from Anri! In my last reply to her I sent her a NY state shaped necklace, and after her letter she sent her gift separately, which is also a necklace, with an 'A' charm, a heart charm, and a stud charm which look so nice!! :D

 Could we also just take a moment to notice the hello kitty stamps!! I'm so jealous! They are so cute!! I love them so much!

Mini Update 14~

Today I got a letter in the mail from Paige in Indiana~ Though when I went to open the envelope with my letter opener, I kinda cut some of the paper >.<;; But it's okay!! It's not bad. Also from that I've learned a new way to open letters with a letter opener so that won't happen again! Phew~

My order from penpaloftheweek.com came in today!~ If you go to the website for this whole month there is a giveaway everyday!! Also some of the stationary that will be sale at the time might be on sale or buy a pack of two for a discounted price! But you'll have to check it out to see which stationary is up now~
This is my first time ordering stationary and even though it's winter/ Christmas theme and I have a while to use, I'm still so super excited!! :DDD
I'm hoping to get another set of stationary but I'll have to see if I have enough money >.<;

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 #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 #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?

Postcard from Japan~

Today I received a postcard from Anri in Japan! I just sent her my reply to her letter the past week or a little before then and she asked if I could send her a shirt, which I mailed out this week cause I had some issues with the packaging it at first >.<; but hopefully she'll receive it in perfect condition! :)

The front is a really pretty view of Tokyo, and has like almost sparkles....but not sparkles on it so when you move it they reflect the light and looks like lights on the buildings! It's so pretty!~

This is a the back, it's not personal or

private so the note is visible~

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 ^.^

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
