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~

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!

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!~

This is a super short update cause it's late now >.<;

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?

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

Two (2) letters from the UK both from Nancy! I love Nancy she's so sweet and adorable!! I just sent out my reply to her so hopefully soon I'll be getting another letter~

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

First Post~

So I thought of making a blog about my pen pals, because I think it's so fun to have a pen pal and to write through snail mail!
I've already received some letters so I won't be starting from scratch. Although this will be my first time doing a blog, so I hope it works out well! ^.^

Sorry for the Christmas themed table cloth :P
But these are the letters from my pen pals that I have received so far! I get so excited everyday when I go to check the mail...and then when there's nothing there from a pen pal, it's sad :( but there's always tomorrow! Unless it's Sunday...cause there's no mail on Sunday :/


And here are the packages and letter I have yet to send, because I'm so slow and have no money at the moment to send big packages D:
I can send the letter out soon though so that's a big yippie!! ^.^
