Spread Love (incoming from Poland and outgoing to HK)

Hey! 💎

This spring is full of traveling for me and I'm not going to complain about it because traveling is what I love. But the thing is that this spring is also full of many other things that I also happen to love. :D So let's just say that this spring is going to be very busy for me and I might not be able to blog as often as usually. I'm doing my best to keep you posted! ❤

About traveling, you might know that I was in Estonia about two weeks ago. It was really nice and I had the best time with my family. Tomorrow I'll be off to Russia with my Russian class (total four people plus two teachers xD) and I'm really looking forward to that!

I'll do my best with catching up with all the lovely mail I've got. Here are two letters from the end of February:

This pink/light purple letter I sent to Chloe, Hong Kong. I'm in love with that stationery and the matching stamp! ❤ I also sent a page of a brochure and two mini flags:

And this little quote note (please ignore my nasty nails xD) : 

This one is a really nice letter I got from Martyna, Poland:

I love it, thanks! ❤

Cute Mail from Hong Kong & Switzerland

Good morning, day, afternoon or night, whichever you're having right now!

For me, it's morning. I woke up today with a lot of energy and excitement for everything that's going to happen today! :D

But here is some mail I received earlier this month:

The letter is from Chloe, Hong Kong, and the cupcake postcard is from a friend from Switzerland. I think they're both super cute!

 As soon as I saw the "Please open gently" text on the envelope, I almost didn't even want to take the picture because I just wanted to see what was inside! :D

And this is what was inside:

Turned out it was the cutest mini booklet/flipbook/letter ever! *__*

On the last page there was a small drawing by Chloe's sister which I think is really adorable! And in the picture there's also the stamp that was on the card I got from Switzerland :

Thanks! :)

A Waterfall Card Letter

I'm so excited to publish this one! Ever since receiving this cool letter from a good friend of mine I've been eager to show you how I tried to do it. Creative people are just the best! ♡ I really wanted to make a waterfall card letter myself and I actually like how it turned out even though I feel I still need some practice. xD

I already showed you the envelope (here) and now that the letter has been received, I can show you the inside!

 Also, I need some gif making practice.. But however, here's the letter  as a gif :) ↴

Basically it's all about some folds that make the cards flip when pulling the string. I think it gives a cool little twist to this whole snail mail business :)

Oh, and the letter traveled to Chloe, Hong Kong! :)

My First Chaincard's Home!

Hi! I hope you're having a great day! 

Yesterday I posted this on Instagram (↓) with a hashtag "superlatepost" because it's honestly been quite a while since receiving it.. :D However, I'm talking about my very first chain card that started its journey in the middle of November and is now back home! I really like how the card turned out! It traveled all the way from Finland to Scotland, Hong Kong and U.S.A and then back to Finland. :)

And here's a card of another chain card project I'm in at the moment! ↓ The theme is "flowers" and I've now sent it to Japan :)

I've also sent and received a lot of mail, I'll talk about them soon! Love you!

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 just a few days after Christmas

Heyy! I just came back home, I was in Stockholm with my godparents and my godmother's niece.

Here is some outgoing mail from the first few days after Christmas !

First, two flower themed chaincards (Instagram) I sent to Malaysia and Japan (my shadow looks so funny in this picture!):

Also I sent a letter to Shine, China:

The envelope I sent her letter in (notice the Christmas tree a.k.a. the prettiest shooting background ever):

    --> And then to the incoming mail!

First, a beautiful Christmas present from Daria, Germany:

 Unfortunately the paper had torn a bit in mail but no damage inside! I love the decorations!

She sent me a lot of pretty stationery, cool candy, a notebook, tapes, a keychain, a card.... Oh, and a thing I don't know the name of in English. A key housing perhaps? If someone knows how to call it, please tell me! :D

This pretty little one is from Chloe, Hong Kong:

Inside the envelope I found this Christmas card...

...which turned out to be many cards put together as a letter! I love the idea! My friends are so creative :)

Inside the little 'envelope' in the picture below were...

...three coins from Hong Kong! I love them!

Also there was another cool little pocket in the 'letter' with stickers from the Hong Kong Disneyland inside ^^

Thanks, girls! <3

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! ♥

Mail, mail, mail..

First of all: It's been a very dreary day which means crappy light, I'm sorry about that. :/

Anyway, here are two things to show you from last week. Mail is traveling soooo slowly these days because of the postal strikes :c I have a lot of mail traveling either to or from (or in, too) Finland and it's taking so long..

This postcard is for the first chain card project that I've ever joined and I'm so excited! The path will be Finland - Scotland - Hong Kong- USA - Finland :)

And here is a letter I received from Chloe, Hong Kong ^^

I love the writing paper!!! :) Thank you!

Oh, and last weekend I was at the Finnish Handicrafts 2015 Fair (Käsityömessut Tampereella) and I thought of making a short post about that as well when I have time. :)

My Sticker Slapped PC & a Letter

Here's some more mail from a long time ago! :D

First a letter I sent to Chloe, Hong Kong:

As I said, from a LONG time ago haha. Today I received her reply xD

Oh and here's my Sticker Slapped PC that I said I'd show you as soon it would be received:

I chose "Childhood" as the theme of my postcard. :) The card went to Washington, USA.

Today was the first day of my last school period this year and I think I've finally gotten my motivation back! :) In this period I'll have only 4 courses out of six: French (I have no idea how I'm gonna keep up with all my language studies xD), philosophy and two English courses (basic class course and oral communication). I'm thinking of starting a writing course as well but I'm not sure yet :)

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! ♥ :) 

Mail to Poland, Hong Kong, Hungary, China...

Yes, I've spent this day (okay, yesterday.. I'm just posting this late haha) catching up on my mail and it feels great!! Doing something normal always relaxes me ^^ And we also finally have good weather in Finland!

This first letter is for Kinga, Poland :) I forgot to take a picture of it before closing the envelope, sorry! Fun fact: The envelope is actually made of a page from my grandma's old gardening magazine :D

This one is for Xavier, China. I sent him also two brochures, one from Koli National Park (in Finland) and one from Ayasofya Hamam - Turkish bath.

The brochures were so heavy that I had to add some more stamps.. The reindeer didn't have to travel alone :D

This colourful letter is now on its way to Poland.. My last letter to Martyna never reached her so I wanted to try again ^^

Also I sent three cards to my friends from that Bursa camp in Turkey, to Poland, Hong Kong and Hungary!

The stamps..

Aand here's all the mail I sent! :) 

I still have some letters to write.. hopefully I can finish them before the school begins! I go to school on Tuesday so I still have a few days :)
