Postcrossings out the Door

Three more Postcrossings out the door. 

This cute lions are headed to Indonesia. 

I write: Greetings from Las Vegas! I am a collector of vintage postcards. I have about 5,000 cards in my collection. I especially love the ones that have detailed messages written on the back. I hope you get lots of key chains for your collection. Wishing you the best! <3 JarieLyn

This one is traveling to Canada.

I write: Hi Catherine, Today I hosted a Party-Lite candle party and had pizza for dinner. It was a hot day so I spent most of my time inside where it was cool. Now, the TV is entertaining me with recorded episodes of "Leah Rimini, It's all Relative". Cheers to a good life. <3 JarieLyn :)

These beauties are taking a slow boat to China.

I write: Greetings Luyu! It's been awhile since I"ve been horseback riding but I really enjoy it. All of my husband's family own horses and his brothers and nephews like to participate in roping competitions at the rodeo. Horses are magnificent animals. I wish you a happy life. <3 JarieLyn

3 Postcards and a Letter: Outgoing

 

A Postcrossing on the way to Belarus.

I write: Hello from Las Vegas, Nevada. We have the world's largest neon sign, an enormous cowboy that towers over Fremont Street. The sign is known as Vegas Vic. It's pretty awesome. Wishing you good grades and happy days. <3 JarieLyn

 

 

A Postcrossing on the way to Ukraine.

I write: Hello Alexandra, it's a beautiful day where I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and magic is happening every moment. The one thing I've learned in my 49 years is that you're never too old to believe in magic. The imagination creates it all the time. Believe!! <3 JarieLyn

 

 

A Postcrossing going to the United Kingdom.

I write: Dear Lizzy, Las Vegas is where I make my home with my husband. One thing you can always count on in this town is that many places never close at night. There is always something to do no matter what time it is. Have a great life. <3 JarieLyn

Introductory letter to a LetterMo participant.

 

I have sent out letters to everyone who added themselves to my postable account.

I had a total of 22 people, 3 of those I was already writing to anyway.

So that means that I sent out 18 letters/postcards to someone new.

Most of what I sent were letters.

I have also responded to everyone I received a letter from except for what I received today.

I think I did great considering that the first three weeks I couldn't hardly write due to pain.

I'm still open for new pen pals and people to write to.

If you're interested leave me a comment.

Decorated Envelopes & Lion King

I think one of my favorite things to do is decorate an envelope after I write a letter.

I try to do it before but it seems I get stuck for inspiration until I'm getting ready to send it.

 

Here's what went out yesterday:

 

 

I think washi tape is my new best friend.

It's amazing how a little strip of decoration can turn blah into ah.

Mail Pile

Hello and Good Morning To You.

Hello JarieLyn,

This is the castle of Tettnang the town where I have been born many years ago

Tettang is a lovely little town in south Germany.

The town is famous for the hops.

You need them to brew the beer.

Now you find in the castle a museum and the District Court.

I like TV too, especially "The Big Bang Theory".

Best Wishes.
