Outgoing mail

I have written a lot of letters lately but I don't want to post pictures of them here yet because I want to wait until I'm sure that they have reached their destination first. But here is some of the mail which I know has arrived:

Letter to Gurli from the Faroe Islands


Easter parcel to my family in Germany


Easter card I made for my parents


Incoming Mail

I haven't gotten a lot of mail lately which probably has to do with that I have lots of letters at home at the moment that I have to reply to. I'm a busy bee, writing and doing Decos every evening. Yeah.

So here's some mail I got during the last two weeks:

I got letters from Sandy from Scotland, Mikalea from Finland and M from Germany


Mail from Ann-Kristin from Norway. I love how her "Easter"-sticker got destroyed and actually says "Eater" now :D


And I received an Easter-card from Mikaela <3

I finally sent off some letters

I haven't had as much time for mail as I would have wished but I still managed to get a few letters done during the last two weeks.

Letter to Kimberley from Scotland. I love to use all kinds of stationary for my letters, even the smaller kind, it makes the letter look longer!


Found an awesome envelope 


Lots of Decos, the letter and some Swedish chocolate


Le lettre


Sent a letter to Sandy from Scotland


Letter to Sarah from Australia. "Word" has some nice frames. I use them sometimes to make some stationary.


Letter, a postcard of a LaChapelle-photo and some choc


And the letter all packed up


Letter to Lone from Norway + some tea


I found my stash of cute envelopes!


Letter to Sebastiano from Italy. I found an old book (from 1897, it missed lots of pages though and was almost totally destroyed) and cut out some beautiful pictures from it to use for mail art


Letter to Jenna from Australia


Letter to David from England


Letter to Juliane from Germany, a LaChapelle-postcard and some Black Current tea


To Juliane


A letter to Signe from Estonia


And that's my cat trying to steal my attention while I'm writing a letter :D

Mail last week

I got a bunch of letters last week. Penpal-heaven! I just wish I could reply to everyone at once. But I have many letters to reply to so everyone has to wait a week or two. Oh well. I have sent off three letters today so I am not lazy!

Monday mail .. from England, Iceland, Finland, USA and Germany


From my Icelandic penpal. She sent me a book (I had asked her about Icelandic authors and whoa, she sent me a book!), some tea and an awesome letter


From Susanne in Germany, lots of Decos and postcards. And of course a pretty letter


From A in the USA. I got a dollar, ha! Last I held one of those in my hands must have been like 25 years ago (I was in the States as a kid). so yay, awesome! And some tea and a sweet letter


From Ann-Marie in England, lots of Decos, a lovely letter and I love the envelope with the stamp of Whitby, so pretty!


Interesting Finish stamp


From Sanna, licorice tea! And a fantastic letter


Rest of the week
I was glad to receive mail from Angela in the USA; hadn't heard from her in months.


Letter and FBs


From Lika in Canada. Her last letter had gotten lost in the mail (*raises fist at unreliable mailservice*) so I am extra-glad to have received her letter!


Her pretty letter, some tea, some stickers and some deco-material


Kerstin from Germany. Sping-stationary. I wish it was spring :/


Petra from the Czech Republic, I love when letters look like presents!


A sweet letter, chocolate (I had already eaten half it when I took the picture haha) and mojito-tea

Birthdays

I sent two small birthday-packages this week. I'm poor so people don't get any huge gifts but I always include something small. It's the thought that counts after all. Right now I am really into tea so people get tea from me, which isn't expensive but yummy and will last for a long time.

Birthday card for my Swedish friend Yve


Birthday card for ny Icelandic friend


Cards and presents


To my Icelandic friend


To Yve

Incoming mail this week

I've received quite a few letters this week. At the moment I have 15 letters to reply which is quite a lot. But I'm working on that, I've started with a letter to my penpal Kim in Scotland today and might even be able to finish it tonight.

A letter from Adeline in France


French stamps


Her long letter and some FBs she had enclosed


Letters from Cecilia in Sweden, Dana in Romania and Bine in Germany


German stamp


Romanian stamp


Swedish stamp


Dana sent me something that has to do with a Romanian tradition. On March 1st the traditional Romanian year starts and it is custom that women wear such small items on their wrists or around their necks and it is said to bring luck. So she made one for me. That was pretty sweet of her.


Mail from Tina in Germany


She sent me a really belated Christmas-gift, a cute book about cats and an adorable card. We swap chocolate with each other and damn, that Milka Oreo chocolate was divine!! She decorated her letter with pictures of Victoria Frances' paintings.
