I'm back!!

I've neglected my blog for a while >.<;; I'm ashamed of myself....I made an instagram account for my snail mail and got completely distracted by it!!

So tonight I'll post some of the letters I've received recently and currently working on~

A letter from Jofiane in Indonesia~ I finished my reply to her today and have to stick in an envelope, address it then mail it out!

My reply~ I managed to write 5 pages! I'm hoping I can have it all enveloped and addressed to go out tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning!

Incoming from Ashley in NYC! She's a fairly new penpal I met on Instagram~

My reply I also finished tonight~

Incoming letter from Kylie in Australia! I haven't started her reply yet...I'm not sure if I'll be able to tonight, but if not it will be done tomorrow, during school or after school!

She included the cutest owl stickers! That are also 3-D!! So adorable~

Incoming from Hanna who is also in Indonesia~ Her letter arrived yesterday! So I haven't had time yet to start my reply >.<

She included two gel pens, two candies and currency from her country along with her letter~

Incoming letter from Lotte in The Netherlands which also came yesterday as well! So I haven't had time to start my reply. 

She sent me a clog keychain!! I used to have a tiny pair of clogs when I was younger, for decoration- not wearing purposes- and I'm not sure where they are now :(

She included cute birds and butterflies confetti! I love them so much!!

Last but not least here is the stationery I've been using for my replies today!! I love them sooo much!! They are just  so adorable, I can't contain myself~~

They're from: penpaloftheweek.com

I'm hoping that I'll be able to update on here more frequently now~ But school is coming to an end, so maybe I won't be able to... I'm not really sure >.<''

Incoming 10/07/2014

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!

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 >.<;

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

Penpal of the Week...

Hai guys!!
So when I sent out a few letters the other day, I sent out a letter to Julia at penpaloftheweek.com containing my penpal ad! :D So hopefully she'll post it once she gets it :3
I had been thinking about sending a letter to her for a while, since I'm still new to snail mail, and wayyyy much newer to decorating my snail mail I send out but I decided to go for it! So hopefully all goes well! :)

I'll update about it soon if I can!
