Stamp Swap Via Decolicious

Here's a lovely swap from William via Decolicous. It was a craft swap and the theme was rubber stamps. I mailed mine out late last week and I hope it reaches Avrilann real soon. I love the Chip n' Dale deco tape used on the envelope. Too cute. Thank you, William for sending this swap my way.



Here's a closer look. I really love this and I cannot wait to use them. The cat is too cute and the bunnies will be used for Easter, hehe. So Springy!



Love this kitty stamp too!



Extra goodies~ I have some decos to add to my box which is half empty at the moment. I will definately use these stickers and papers in my next deco session.

Thanks, William.

Loving the Deco swaps

Oh my, I am behind on my mail again... Even though it has been rather slow~ I still have been getting some awesome swaps in the mail.



I love this envelope! This is from Melissa who I sent her a small swap a while ago hoping she would like to swap decos with me. I need to buckle down today and get caught up on my letters. Then I can work on some deco swaps.



Here are the decos she sent my way~ Bulky decos = love



Yesterday I received a swap from Dee with some awsome decos inside.



Teddy bear sticker is too funny. He looks annoyed though... Kinda like me when I get interrupted when I am writing, ha!



These are decos she sent my way along with a letter. I made a list of all the decos I have and will soon start working on a few. But first letters. I owe too many of them.

Sticker swap from Laurie in IL

I like the envelope! Thanks so much, Laurie. I am so behind on my posting~ But I received a lovely sticker swap via Decolicious.



The food one is my favorite! I actually have a food deco that I want to use these on.


She even sent me some extras that I will use up on my next deco session. Again, thanks so much!

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'~

Stickers and Decos

Finally able to mail out some swaps, well... My boyfriend was kind enough to do so since I was running late for work. It was also raining pretty hard. I joined a sticker swap via Decolicious a Facebook group but I will make a post later after Lucy gets my swap.



I decided to make a list of swappers who don't mind getting small swaps every now and then. I want to keep only one box of decos and mail them out as soon as I sign them. I also want to pass on the ones I cannot deco due to not having enough time or ink. Well, Kim is on my list which I need to add more swappers. Hint, hint... No need to send a swap back to me each time either.



I sent her smaller decos including one I made. I had to pass on the parrot one though.

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.

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.

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.

Labels for Stationery Swap with Estela

I've been wanting to post these pictures since I sent the labels out. But I was waiting for the stationery to come in so that I could just do one post. Last month I swapped some labels for stationery with Estela in Spain.



I sent her twelve sheets of labels.



Along with a little note that I type so I could use the new font I downloaded. I am still trying to find all the fonts I used to have before my computer died.



Last Friday I got this~ Sadly one of her envelopes was damaged and had to be put in a bag before leaving Spain.



Not sure what is missing but I love what I got. ^_____^ Thank you~



This one was sealed and okay though.



The pen was a little damaged but still works and I love the memo pads.



Love the Diddl pad too.

Thanks, Estela for a great swap. ^____^ Love the stamps used too~
