Letter to Yeska

I mailed this out on Saturday but I sealed this up before I remembered her data sheet...again. Sorry, Yeska. You have a very forgetful penpal. Next letter! I won't forget. I was happy to use my cute bunny stamp and my new addy labels.

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'~

A letter to Mandy

I dropped off this letter to Mandy before work~ I got to use some recent stamps I bought on her envie and stationery. I found one of my old labels too which is one of my favorites. I need to make more for myself. I hope this letter reaches Mandy in RI real soon.

Letter #0001 of 2012

I am so happy to be mailing out a letter today. My first in 2012! Jessica, I hope this letter arrives quickly.



I used a penguin gift bag for an envelope.i sealed it with clear & snowflake tape. I also used one of the avery mailing labels and my alpha stamps. I included a mini zine I made from my sketchbook scans. Oh and a couple of decos.

Letter to Yeska

I answered my first letter of 2012!

Today I sat at my writing desk listening to Placebo while dinner was in the oven. I wrote 5 pages too. It feels good to be writing again. I am determined to write at least three letters a week.



Yeska your letter will be mailed tomorrow.

A Letter to Ash

Today I had some major time to kill before clocking in for work. So I did a lil' mail shopping and found some goodie bags, some tape, and some shipping labels. I made an envelope for Ashley and wrote her a letter. I finished it up by lunch break and will be going out tomorrow.

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.

xoxo

I've been bad

Feeling like a bad penpal here... Some of these letter/swaps should of gone out a long time ago. I recently found some while cleaning my craft room. I will get them out as soon as I can since I don't think I have enough stamps for them all. Money is still an issue for me and the bills just keep on coming. But I will catch up soon.

OUTGOING #004

I bought these Halloween goodies bags a while back and have been using them as envies. Here is my recent outgoing mail:



A letter to Mandy.



Returning a deco to Raven~ We used to penpal so long ago and I glad I can return a homer.



To the lovely, Tanya~ xoxo



These where all suppose to go out together but one needed more postage.



Letter for Yeska~ xoxo



A letter for Samantha and some FB goodness.

That is all, I've been focusing on my mail lately but I just need to get back in the habit of updating this blog. It's been a lazy Summer for me and I am enjoying Fall so far. I usually get more motivated around this time. I've also been depressed... I had to put Fable down last Monday. I miss him so much.

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. >__<

Package from Red Maga

A few days ago this was waiting for me when I got home from work. I really love the deco tape she used on this envie and the fact that it has been reused so many times. I already have ideas for it, hehe.






I really love the MashiMaro stationery she used. She also send me some loose stationery and a cool pad. Thankies~ ^_____^



The envie was stuffed with FBs and a few decos. All were neat booklets and I cannot wait to sign them. I need to make myself and others some labels soon. I will try to squeeze that in between packing and moving. The computer will be the last to go in a box, heh.



Thanks, so much~!

MAIL DUMP #002

I worked on these on my days off and I was finally able to mail them all out yesterday before work. ^___^ Sure feels good.



I have excess going to Jenny H. in Germany, Thinisha in SC, Pattie L. in NJ, and Mary F. in PA. I made a nice dent in my excess boxes~ Actually I can fit them all in one. ^_____~



I also mailed out two letters~! I sent some excess to Vanessa L. along with my intro letter. I found these old envelopes I made but for some reason never used them. Too cute.

There isn't much since mail has been a little slow for me for a while. But I did mail out a couple of letters that I haven't posted on here yet.



Not sure is she got this yet but I mailed out some excess stuff and a letter. It is good to be swapping & penpalling, Tanya. xoxo



Katie already got this~ ^____^ I think it got their quick too. I also sent her some labels I made. I need to remember to send some FBs with my next letter.

That is all. I better get some breakfast before I go into work.

Mail Dump #001

It happens to me often... I get so behind on my mail and I never get around to posting the pictures I do take. It took me a while to sort through all the pictures on Photobucket. I take these with my cell phone which is always handy. Some of these are from last month too. So here goes...

A letter to JJkun in OK. and Leigh W. which was way overdue. Grrr~ I hate it when I get some behind.

Letter to Ilona T. in Germany.

A letter to Stevie S. in NC. This went out with Ilona's letter.

Letter to Ashley in Hi~ ^____^

A swap for the lovely Sarah D. in Cananda.

One of my favorite deco girls from way back. Her decos are the best, hehe. I decided to use a magazine for the envelope. I had to glue two pages together to get everything to fit. Gotta love fat mail~ ^____~

My first letter to my epal, hehe.


Other I didn't get much mail in or I forgot to take photos of all my mail coming in. That's possible since I have been so scattered lately and worrying about money stuff. *sighs* And the move... Stressing over that too. Some of these I still need to answer....

A lovely letter from Emma!

My ePal, Theresa!

That is all for now. ^____~
