Pen Pal Letters

Good Evening.

I really need to get into the habit of posting my blog entries early in the morning.

I'm a procrastinator though, so we'll see what happens.

 

Monday and Tuesday's mail incoming and outgoing is all about pen pals.

 

Here's what came in for both days.

 

 

A nice long letter from my pen pal John, and a great postcard.

His handmade envelope was awesome.

He has a couple of blogs that I read regularly.

One showcases his postcards and mail and the other one is random stuff.

I enjoy both very much.

Maybe you will too if you click here and here to check them out.

 

 

I also received a really nice first letter from Jacqueline and a postcard. She's also a blogger.

 

 

Another great letter from Mariska, and she enclosed a postcard too.

I love her handmade vintage envelope.

It suits my style perfectly.

 

 

An official Postcrossing card from Germany.

The sender writes:

With best regards from the small town (???) in Germany, your postcrossing fan Mario.

I am a really passionate collector of postal documents and stamps from all over teh world.

I hope this post card will brighten your day and collection.

 

Here's what left my house to take a road trip:

 

 

Four different postcards, 3 going to my March PC Pals, and one going to Mariska.

Hmm......... I wonder whic one she will get.

Anyway, two are going to the Netherlands, one to Estonia, and one to Russia.

This box contains a super hero kit for my LEP partner.

I hope she likes it.

 

That's it for today folks.

 

Tune in tomorrow for the Days of Our Lives for more mail making its way out.

 

 

 

Mail Pile

Hello and Good Morning To You.

 

This is going to be a semi-long post.

I haven't really posted anything since Valentine's Day so there is quite a bit of mail.

 

I hope you're up for the view.

 

I'll start with incoming Postcrossings:

 

 

 

This is from Russia.

Germany.

The sender writes:

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.

Wonderful Wednesday

Today was an amazing mail day.

I was thrilled with the letters I received and I savored each one as I read every single word on the gorgeous pages that were written especially for me.

 

Here's what came in:

 

 

A beautiful envelope from John.

 

 

With a nice long letter inside that I thoroughy enjoyed.

 

 

And another gorgeous envelope that's just my style.

 

 

And an amazing letter that captivated me as well as these lovely ladies.

This is from a LetterMo participant and I will be sending my reply within the next day or two.

 

 

 

The label says it all.

 

 

This is what was inside the package.

I'm not sure what I'll do with purse handles since I don't really sew or make things with fabric.

 

 

4 USA touristy postcards from 4 different states Swap with an extra as a bonus.

I love that NY City postcard.

 

Here's what went out today which isn't much:

 

 

 A Postcard A Day Swap going to Wyoming.

 

 

A package for Completely Random Stuff Swap.

(the idea was to get things from the check-out)

Things that you would not ordinarily send for a swap.

 I still did my best to choose things that I think the recipient would like.

They are things that I would buy for myself so if the recipient doesn't like them then that just means we have different tastes, but at least I looked at her profile.

Just saying.
