A little slower but still writing.

I made a lot of progress yesterday so it's no wonder that it seems I barely made a dent today.
 
Here's what I mailed out:
 
 
An official Postcrossing card staying here in the USA, Kansas to be exact.
 
 
This is for the Postcard A Day swap on it's way to Hanford, CA.
 
 
A letter in a handmade envelope.
 
 
The back.
 
 
A reply letter to a LetterMo participant.
 
Now for the incoming :)
 
I recognized the handwriting on this one and it immediately brought a smile to my face.
Its from Angie.
I love that glittery tape and the cute owl stamp.
The card is quite adorable too.
 
A PC, A notecard and a letter swap.
It's all very nice. I love the postcard.
 
 
An official  postcrossing card that is so cute from Finland.
The sender writes:
Hi from Finland!
This is vintage card from 1927.
"Life is Game, Game is Life"
Best wishes from Mari.
 
 
An official Postcrossing card from Germany.
The sender writes:
Dear Jarie Lyn,
My name is Evelyn and I live in Berlin/Germany.
I am 46 years old.
My occupation is a secrettary.
I work at an organization which is busy with reparation of Nazi's in justice to jew in the time from 1933 to 1945 in the area of former GDR.
The work has begun only after the reunification of both german states and now is almost finished.
I have a daughter, she does not live anymore with me, she is 23 years old.
I gladly go away, read books and do manual labours.
Best wishes,
Evelyn.
 
Wow, that is really a great greeting from a postcrosser.
These are the best ones for me no matter what the front looks like.
 
So that's my mail.
And I said it's day five, but really it's only day four officially because we don't county Sunday.
But I'll probably continue to confuse myself and others.
It's still day five for me because I wrote something every day of the month so far.
 
I've been experimenting on my computer to make labels and other things but so far it's been a total failure.

Mail for Two Little Boys

I sure am glad that Tuesday is over.
I'll keep the details of the day to myself, except for the mail.
I received two postcards yesterday
 
.
 
An official Posttcrossing card fom Belarus.
The sender writes:
Hello JarieLyn!
My name is Karina & I'm from Minsk (Belarus).
I hope you like y card.
Happy New Year!
I hope your wishes come true!
Happy Postcrossing.
 
 
 
This is a pretty handmade postcard from my friend Laurie.
She used her own photography and editing skills to make the postcard.
I think she did a fantastic job.
 
Now for my outgoing mail:
 
 
An official Postcrossing card traveling to Iraq.
 
 
An official Postcrossing card traveling to Connecticut.
 
 
A gift for my sister minus the valentine.
 
 
This is for Rome, who will be five years old in February.
 
 
This is for Titus, Rome's 3 year old brother.
 
That's the mail for Tuesday.
 
I'm sure today will be just as fruitful.
Have a happy mail day.
