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

 Letter from Lydia in Ohio~
I loved the paper and envelope she used, the color was so pretty! :)
Here again I used stickers but this time to cover up the letter contents~

 Reply from Elizabeth in NYC~ Though when she sent it she was in Korea!!

 My second letter from Justyna in Poland, who sent a beautiful drawing, and painting of an eye!

A *first letter* from Paige in Indiana~ I also just finished my reply but I have to wait to send it out tomorrow~

Usually for birthdays once we have been writing back and forth for a year, after that year I'll send something special for your birthday, because some people don't write back after I send them things :(

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 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?

Letter from Elizabeth~

This one is a little late, I got it the day before I had to leave to go to Boston for a Barbizon Competition.
This is the first letter from Elizabeth in New York City!~

and my laptop is being a butt and won't load the pictures of her letter for me to show D:

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

 Two (2) letters from the Czech Republic from Adele. She is my only penal from the Czech Republic. I actually have another letter from her but I haven't responded back yet D: So it's not in my letter box :P I hopefully will finish it soon!

One (1) letter from Belarus, from Casey who I haven't gotten a reply back from >.<; so hopefully everything is alright with her!

One (1) letter from Turkey, from Secil and I also haven't gotten a reply back from her either :( 

One (1) letter from Russia. My penal from Russia is Julia, and I have another letter from her as well but I haven't finished the reply yet so it's still upstairs :P

Five (5) letters from South Korea, there are bigger envelopes that two letters came in that I included in the photo. My pen pals in Korea are: Rose, Subin, and Kyuhyun.

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

Today I received a 'First Letter' from a new pen pal in Japan! :D How exciting!!! Her name is Anri and she has a pet hamster, who looks so adorable! :3

Here is the envelope, I kinda got excited and opened it before I took any pictures >.<; heh

The inside!~

The last page of her letter which is on super cute stationary that I absolutely loveee~ And she spelled my name out in stickers! So cute!!

She also sent a cute note pad/ memo pad! 

This is a closer up picture of the front design.

A picture of the back, it's a San-x product.

(not really sure why I took a picture of the back O.o haha)

The inside design which is so so so cute!! :3

And the backs of the paper have like a little subtle polka dot design on the back with little faces in the polka dots, I'm not sure how well you can see them in this picture though >.<;
