Some Received & Sent Mail

The week before the "prom" week (click!) was full of mail because I wanted to send out as many letters as I could and I was also happy to receive some! 

I sent a letter to Tabby in California with some small flags, mail tag and pages of a brochure:

Also I sent this one to Sue, Sri Lanka (also with mini flags and pages of a brochure):

And this one to Martyna, Poland (Why do I think it's not necessary to write what I sent her with the letter? xD):

And before sending the letter above I got a letter from her (well, obviously :D), I really like all of it ♥:

Oh, and the stamps on the letter I sent to California:

With those letters I finally used all my Christmas stamps :D

Now I need to go to sleep, I have to wake up early tomorrow... Bye! ♥

A Flipbook of Sorts

Hi! 

Today is the first of my winter break and I'm so excited! Are you also having a holiday now or sometime soon?

 As promised, I'll now show you some of my recent mail before I leave to Estonia tomorrow and I can't blog for awhile (again, I know.. sorry!). I'll start with this letter I sent to Jade, California:

I wanted to try something new and so I made my first flipbook ever. I'm not sure if this can be called a flipbook but anyway it's something like that. I mean, it is like a book that you can flip, right? :D

I like how it turned out and I really loved making it! Hopefully the gif is clear enough!

Lately I've been loving the idea of sending a list of songs you listened to while writing the letter so I've been sending a couple of those already. I think it makes the letter more unique and interesting :)

Also I wanted to do something different with my mail tag so I did this:

I wrapped some ribbon around the letter/flipbook and made a bow to give it the final touch:

And here's the envelope I sent her letter in:

I found this cute pink bubble wrap pocket and thought it'd make a good envelope. :)

What do you think? Have you also made flipbook(s)? :)

Incoming from Turkey, Sri Lanka, Germany, U.S.A...

Hii!

I just wanted to say that I'm really happy about receiving all the nice comments from you, you're the best! :) I think I'll keep on writing mostly in English because that's the language everyone will understand (I hope!), even though I'm not perfect at it and even though many of my readers are from Finland. :D

I already posted this following picture on Instagram earlier this week and now it's time to post it here with other and more detailed pictures!

A flower themed chain card ready to continue the journey:

A pretty letter with a tea bag from Sue, Sri Lanka:

A cute letter from Tabby, California:

A really nice swap from Gülin, Turkey:

 (and also a letter from Daria.. I don't know what I was thinking when I took this picture because everything's so mixed up in here, sorry! >_<)

And here's the actual "letter" part of the letter I got from Daria, Germany:

Thank you!

I've already either sent or started writing a response to these! Can't wait to show you  what I've been crafting on :)

Pretty Creativeness from USA and Other Things ♡

Heyaa!

How are you? I can't name any particular reason why, but today's been such an awful day. I hate to complain, especially online, but I just haven't liked this day at all. It hasn't liked me either, so I guess the feeling's mutual. 

Anyway, let's talk about yesterday which was MUCH better! :D

Yesterday was a day of creative and happy mail. I received a letter that I'd been looking forward to and also sent a letter I put a lot of effort into! I'll talk more about the latter when I'm sure it's made it to Hong Kong so that I won't ruin the surprise :D

But the letter I can talk about is this:

It's from one of the penpals I've been writing with since I started this hobby, Jade! ♡ I love the marbled envelope and the 'Happy Holidays' postal mark.

The letter was super cool with all the instructions and secrecy, I was maybe even a bit too excited when opening the letter xD However, the letter turned out to be an example of one of the most creative letters I've ever received! At least I've never seen anyone using this technique in letter writing (tell me if you have bc I'm interested haha). The letter was made like a waterfall card and I really like the idea! (Doyou know waterfall cards? If you don't, I suggest you to Google them. ^^) 

I had a hard time trying to take a picture showing the letter but not really showing the letter xD Hopefully you'll still get the idea! 

There was also one more sheet of paper because the cards weren't enough and a really cool marbled envelope inside ♡ Thanks!!

Also today I received this flower chaincard from Croatia and already added the stamps for it's new journey to Japan:

Mail before Christmas

Christmas is now over and I thought of coming here to show you some of the mail I sent and received before the holidays! :)

A little Christmas present to Daria, Germany (I loved putting these together! <3) :

A letter to Tabby, USA:

And a letter to Haruka, Japan:

See you soon with the mail sent and received after Christmas! :)

Christmas Mail ♡

Hii! 

Lately I've been sooo busy with school and making Christmas cards/gifts that I haven't been sending that much mail but here's a quick update anyway! :)

Tomorrow's the last day of school this year and also I'm taking the English oral exam tomorrow which will be the last exam of this exam week and the whole year! Yey! I also started my driving school this month and the first driving lesson will be on next Monday. ^^

So here's some the mail of these few weeks:

1. A letter to Jade, California with... 2. ..a Christmas themed Mail Tag! 3. The envelope which I think is really cute ^^ 4. A beautiful letter from Tabby, California! That picture is the only one with the normal looking colours because I left from school earlier on Tuesday and was able to take the picture before the sunset (literally at 2 pm or something xD)

1. Two mails from last week (? or something, I can't remember :D): a chain card and an Instagram swap! 2. Stamps on the chain card so far :) 3. A close-up of the Instagram swap I sent to Irem, Turkey 4. A letter to Daria which has already been received some time ago because I got the reply today! :D I'll upload the picture during the weekend so you can see it! ♡

Mail Week #49

Happy independence day of Finland! I'm so proud of my country and proud to be a Finn. ♥

Here's all mail of this week!

Letters I sent to Poland and Hong Kong (the last ones that aren't Christmas and/or winter themed) :

To Chloe, HK (I wrote it already more than a week ago xD) :

And to Martyna, Poland:

Mail I received from Japan, U.S.A and China:

From Shine, China:

From Jadey, California:

From Haruka, Japan:

Thank you so much! ♥

Happy (Disney-ish) mail ✿♥‿♥✿

What would be better than having an autumn holiday, no school stress, warm weather, homemade marshmallows AND receiving two lovely surprises in the mail?

(Okay, honestly I could think of many other and possibly even better options, like all those things but in the summer lol, BUT at this moment I'm beyond happy and grateful ♥)

Anyway, these cuties totally were surprises! The pink letter is from my new penpal from Hong Kong and the card is from Anaheim, California. It was a "Disney PC Swap" and my partner wanted to send me that postcard from Disneyland because she said she lived very near to Disneyland, I love it! :)

Also she had put on some HP stamps I didn't already have! ♥

And here's  a closer look of the letter from Chloe! Funny coincidence, she also sent me something related to Disneylands, stickers from the Hong Kong Disneyland! :D I love the letter a lot ^^

Thanks, girls! ♥

Oh and to my penpals: Since I'm having a short autumn break now, I'm going to answer to all my letters this week! Thanks for the patience! ♥ :) 

Letter full of colours & love to somewhere ~

Here's a letter I sent out some time ago and is now (has been for a while already actually) safely in California, USA! :) The letter itself is 14 pages which took me some time to write, but it was definitely worth it :D I also added one small package of my all-time favorite Jenkki chewing gum (with xylitol) and three brochures.

I would like to say I love how this envelope turned out but unfortunately I can't.. I think it looks like something my 7-year-old cousin would come up with xD

Mail & Camp

Hello! I'm back with new pictures! I just came back from Nurmes where I was volunteering at an International camp.. I've been in a rush for the last 1,5 months but now I'm settling down again. And I've got plenty pictures and stories for you guys! I'll write you another part of my Turkey exchange very soon, I just wanted to talk about these newer things first :)

So, yes, I was at the camp. It was amazing experience and I learned a lot more about myself. It turned out very well even though I wasn't really feeling like going there at first.. The bus trip was so long and I felt like I would have preferred staying home with my friends and family since I'd just came back to Finland. But I'm happy I went there! Now I'm just happily at home again :D

I had these two cuties waiting for me when I came back home and I was thrilled to see them! ↴

This one is from Kinga, Poland. I hadn't heard from her for months so I was sooo surprised and happy to receive that letter!! She sent me a postcard and some interesting-sounding sweet chili tea along the letter :)

And this baby is from Jade, California! You guys have no idea how happy I was to see that letter waiting for me :D She also sent me some stickers that I just noticed I had unfortunately left out of the picture.. I don't know how that happened xD And that postcard is from Hawaii <3

Thank you both! 

Blue Letter ➸

Hola!

Here is a letter I sent out some time (?) ago to California, USA! I personally really like that envelope because of the texture, it's made of an old blue painting :)

I used a sheet of one of those notebooks I got from Lily as the writing paper, I love it! Stitch is so cute!

The letter included some glitter sticker things (:D), an eraser and Finland's flag sticker :)

The letter turned out so heavy (mostly because of the envie) I had to put some more stamps ^^

I'll talk to you soon! :)
