Incoming 9/29/2014

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!

Catching Up Post #3

 Here are two parcels, one is Rena's for her birthday and the other has a design printed on it~

Here is an envelope I decorated with washi tape :P

My washi tape collection, and some little tags I can use for different things~

Some things I use to write letters and things I can send to my pen pals, which isn't just limited to these things, usually I'll go to the store and get stuff and send it out. These are just extras.

Catching Up Post #1

Here are some of the letters I received~ I'm thinking it'll be about 3~4 Catching Up Posts, though there will only about 4 letters in each post.

Okay, Lets begin!~

 This is Rena's letter!~ Her birthday was in August, so I'll be sending out a parcel to her this week! I have the parcel decorated and a few things together already so soon it'll be ready~

  This letter is from Daisy in NYC~ I loved her stationary and the color of her envelope~
I tried something different, by covering her address with a sticker on an editing app. I think it looks nice ^.^

 

 My letter from Chantel! :D  Which was a long letter! But it was nice to read :) I love getting long letters in the mail~

My second letter from Becky~ I just finished writing my reply, but it's sunday D: So I have to wait until tomorrow to send it out.

Late update!

I haven't been on here for over a month :O I received a lot of letters and 2 packages/parcels~
School started yesterday D: ohmygoodness I'm a senior and I just wanna sleep all day :( I'm pretty sure I finished all my homework for tonight :P So I can post pictures and update everything! :D Yay!~

So I'll go and sort through the letters I received the past month and a half to show~ Though I haven't had time to reply to all of them...I think i've replied to around 2-3 which I know isn't a lot, but i'm pretty sure that 2 of them were quite long letters. Currently I'm working on writing Becky's letter (from the UK) then I'll be replying to Chantel~ I'm hoping that this weekend I'll be able to send out a few more replies within that time! I'll be visiting college campuses though so I don't think there will be many other things in there except the letter >.<; but I think it's understandable right?

Okay! I'll stop now so I can post the pictures!

Mini Update 12~

I've gotten some emails and messages about replies that have been sent out to me and replies that have been received!~

> rena in japan 

> kyuhyun in korea

I will also be writing a first letter to Jofiane in Indonesia~

~~~~Birthdays in August/ September~~~~

rena in japan~ August
joey in china~ September ( i need to send her's early cause she'll be in college)
jae in china~ September
fern in thailand~ September <<  I never got a reply back from Fern :(


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 :(

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?

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!

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~

My Collection

I have a bowl that I put the different things my pen pals will send me to keep in~

This is the bowl I keep everything in~ It's not that much but being from my pen pals everything in here is so important to me :)

A fan from South Korea from Kyuhyun~~ I love the art on here!

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

But today I got a letter from Rena in Japan!~ I sent her a little package around christmas time with some little gifts in there for her ^.^  I'm very excited to get her reply :D

Along with her letter she also sent some chocolates! <3

I've only eaten one, the top one on the left, with the big heart, which was reallyyyy good! 

I didn't take a photo of the inside of the letter, but she had really cute drawings inside which were cool!

Letter from Anri!~

I received a letter from Anri in Japan a while ago and just wrote back to her today >.< I'm late I know :(

It was actually a pretty big envelope that she had folded in half, haha I was quite confused for a while!

She had the cutest Hello Kitty sticker on her letter, you can see part of it in the picture.

She said she sent something in the letter but is wasn't there :/ I hope nothing happened to the letter when it was on it's way here..

Mini Update #3

So my mailbox is still sad but so far two pen pals have told me that they received the parcels I sent them, the two I sent to Korea! But I haven't heard from the Rena in Japan :( I hope she's received it!

Sunday.. and a mini update #1

Another Sunday.. no mail..nothing new :( how saddening but hopefully tomorrow there will be a letter or more waiting for me when I come home!~ I have school tests tomorrow so really looking forward to coming hone afterwards, and a letter (or more) would be super nice to come home to!

My sister and I have a pen pal in Korea that we are writing to, I'll post a pic of the letters before we mail them out!

I still have to write replies to Subin and Adele >.<; I already wrote back to Anri and sent her letter!

I'm supposed to be receiving a letter from Korea from Rose, her letters haven't been added on here yet cause I haven't received one since I started on here.

Also I have two mini parcels that have to go out, one to Japan to my pen pal Rena, and another pen pal in Korea who's name is Kyuhyun!

I'm also doing two swaps currently too! A candy swap with a girl in the UK and another friend from Korea sending me stationary while in return I send her make up!

I also contacted someone about excess FB's but I haven't heard from her in a while so I'll take that as a no :/ Oh well... but there'll be more in the future!

Though I have to go out a purchase mailers to send these things out! D: When will I ever go to the store again?! Maybe tomorrow after my exam? I hope so!

I babysat last night, and I'm babysitting tonight! Yippie! Now I can get things to send to my pen pals AND actually send them out!  I'm super excited now :D

I think that's all for my mini update for now...I hope many others will still be viewing my blog even if they just take a quick look and think it's cool, which would be awesome :3  Leave comments too! Even just to say you think something is cool or if you have a pen pal from the same country.

Letter from Anri in Japan~

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 >.<;
