Outgoing: Early Start on the week

I dropped this off this afternoon before work which I usually wait until Monday. Lately I have been forgetting my mail on my desk when rushing to work. So at least, I know that the mailman will pick these up on Monday. But it feels good to drop these off since some of these are very late.



Hoping for a new deco swapper~ I have been wanting to ask Melissa for a while if she wanted to swap with me. I hope to hear from her soon but I sent a few decos her way.



Another deco swap for Dee~ I owed her a swap and a letter. I have a few oversized decos to send her way next.



I wrote to Crystal on Thursday and worked on her swap on Friday. Another overdue swap but I am setting small goals for myself each week.



I will make another post but in this envelope is my handmade Valentine's Day card I make for Karen via a Decolicious swap.

Happy Swappin'~

Mail from Kyle & Nikki

I am a little behind on posting my mail this week. I had a nice day off yesterday with my boyfriend. We just painted all day without going near the PC or even turning on a gaming console. So I will post what I can for now that I have uploaded. I still have a lot more pictures to resize and upload.



I haven't heard from Kyle in a while so it was nice to get a letter from him. His envelope was so bulky and full of goodies.



This is the back of it. I really like the paper he used.



I also got a card from Nikki that was really cute. I found a package I made for her last week that should of been mailed ages ago. I thought I had mailed it out too. I hate being not so organized. I love her addy label~! Too cute.

Quick trip to the Post Office

My first trip to the post office this year. I am going to try to make to the post office at least once a month. There was no line either which is nice. I bought the last book of pixar stamps too!



But I mailed out some excess decos to Dee and Sheri. Also a regular swap to Veronica.

Some outgoing stuff

I haven't been all that active but I have been focusing on my mail lately. This is my bag that I take to work which has a nice pocket for my mail. I usually stuff it with letters/swaps that I drop off before I go in the building. Thought I would share it with you all.



I came across my metallic watercolors while organizing my craft room. Even though I had to wait a while for it to dry... I used it on Jenny's envelope to send a deco her way via Decolicious group.



Excess stickers bags going to Robin which should of been mailed a while ago. It's a tiny envelope and somehow got shoved behind recent mail.



I am glad that Jennifer is writing again. Here is a letter I sent her way using treat bags I bought last month. Halloween is way too short. You can also see Jessica's letter as well.



Here's a better look at Jessica's letter. I sent a few decos her way and I found some cute ones that I want to send her way as well. I have too many decos at the moment and I am just not feeling creative enough to sign them all. I used some of my stamps for this.



This is the letter I sent to Katie which I was still rolling with the Halloween theme. I used a bunch of stickers that I had left, hehe. Rubber stamps and a vintage print that I love.



Another chance to use my Halloween stickers. Here's my letter to Yeska, hehe.



This the last letter I mailed out and it's about time I wrote to Ilona. I keep holding on to it because I wanted to stop at the post office to get some airmail stamps. Never got a chance to do so~ I just ended up slapping three regular stamps.

This is as caught up as I will be on this blog. Heh. I have 300+ pictures saved but I think I will start fresh from now one. I will also change the way I post and I hope that help me get back into posting everyday. I have just been so distracted lately trying to keep my mind off of certain things that have been bothering me.

Mail Dump #004

Time for a photo dump or sort because I have so many pictures saved that I know I haven't even posted yet. Aye. So behind on it all. So here goes, no real order here...



A few weeks ago I got a bookmark bag and since I really didn't have any. I don't read as much as I should and I tend to use whatever when I do. So I had to just pass this along via a Yahoo excess group.



Oh yes, this is a recent letter I sent to Katie. I am happy that she has a mail blog of her very own. She is so creative and how can you not love that. Please visit her blog.



Here's a cluster of letters that went out on the same day. A letter to Nikki, Katie, and Bookmark Bag.



Oh a good mail day here from last Monday. Too bad today I had nothing waiting for me when I got home. But I was happy to see packages from Sarah D. in Canada, Sarah E., and Lauren R.



Here's a closer look at Sarah's envelope.



This is a closer look at Lauren's package. I never swapped with her before and I am looking forward to it. I need to start one her envelope so that I can begin staching decos in it.



Sarah love your handwriting~ I am glad to see you doing decos now.



I printed out some swapcards that I made for a Facebook group and sent some to Lisa. ^____^ She makes the best rubber stamps!



Nikki's letter was sent back for extra postage. But it finally arrived and I am happy about that.



This is the last letter that I mailed out last week. This is for one of my favorite penpals. Miss ya, Yeska!



A deco via a group at Facebook. I believe it was the Day of the Dead deco.



I know I mailed this one a while ago but I am not sure when.



A cluster of mail that went out together. Mail art for Norma. Netflix, and I cannot remember who I sent the green envie too...



A letter to Yeska~ ^_____^



A letter to Kyle, hehe. I drew the little bear myself. XD



Labels going to Canada for Sarah.

I have some recent mail that I need to take photos of but thank you all for stopping by and those who sent mail my way... Muncho Thankies~! ^____^ You really make my day when I see an envelope in my lil' mailbox.

MAIL ART from Norma

Fat mail alert~! Thank you, Norma for such a huggable package! All I can say is, "wow!" I love everything you sent my way. I wasn't aware you could cram so much into an envelope like that.



Here is the back of the envelope.



Paper heaven, right here.



The glitter flower brads are too cute. Love the ribbon which I plan to use on some decos. And the push pins~ Purple (fave color) stars. ^___^



Super fine glitter~ Love the earth tones which are colors I do not have. Many thanks for that. I cannot resist the colors in the other pack. ^___~ A girl can never have enough glitter.



The stickers are too cute~ The handmade sticker are beautiful and I never seen stickers like the metallic flower/buttery ones. I just had to sneak in your postcards, hehe.



I love this. You make the best postcards. ^_______^ I really need to learn how to use my lil' purple pixie sewing machine. It is still in the box it came in...



A closer look~



Again, thanks so much and I love it all. I cannot wait to be able to do this again. ^____^

Update on my mail & me somewhat

I've been wanting to update but my lazy self keeps winning. Mainly I have just felt drained and so distracted lately. So it is time to focus on my mail again. So I have been doing a little here and there.



I was working on a package for Crystal here using my new border bunch. I am getting the hang of it.



See~ I did this while watching Medium which I am determined to finish before they take it off Netflix. But I want to make a lot and share with my penpals/swappers. ^______^



Ugh, I have even been ignoring my mail & swap journal. I hope to catch up tomorrow but at least mail has been slow coming in.





This is the very recent but I have a few deco swaps to post that arrived as well. But here you can see Kyle's letter that came in last Friday. I had a slam (in blue envie) returned from Flavia in England. And a small note from Carly in Scotland. She moved also and I need to update her on my new addy. Funny thing is that it didn't have an ugly yellow forwarding sticker on it. I think the mail man knows I moved, heh.



I worked on an envie for Sylverhawk this morning. I'll show the rest later when I make another post about it. Sneak peak, hehe.



I even made myself some labels since I have been up since 6am.

So I am determined to get all caught up again. Sorry for the delay if I owe you a letter/swap. Le me know if I owe you something cause I am so forgetful~ It sucks really. I always put things off until my days off but then those days come... And I end up too tired and with no motivation at all. *sighs* So I wait until the next days... So then weeks go by... Grrr, I feel terrible because I feel like I wasted my days off. >__<
