Flowers Everywhere

Hey! ❤

How are you? I think I'm still lacking motivation, inspiration and whatnot but I'm here anyway. :D

I'm sorry for being M.I.A for so long! I've been busy organizing my life (sounds cliched but actually it's not) and, surprisingly, everything looks much clearer now. There's only one school period left (and only one exam week, yes!) and I still don't really get it. This year went by so quickly! In a couple of weeks I'll be in Rome with  my class and I'm so excited! I'm also about to get my car driving license soon (next Wednesday I hope!). That, and the struggle of finding a summer job have been my number one stress makers lately. But now I also have a summer job and it happens to be something I really love to do! There's also a lot of other exciting things about to happen in Summer. Finally I feel like I can actually breath. I love the weather outside, especially all the flowers, and those were my inspiration to edit these mail pictures haha...

So, in the middle of all the other things in my super busy high school life (haha), I've also sent mail. Occasionally, people ask me why I send mail and isn't it boring blah blah and right now I could say I'm doing this because it's my number one stress reducer. Making others happy makes me happy. :) 

All these letters etc. below are quite old already and probably they've all traveled to their destinations by now so please don't mind. :D

These three went to Poland, China and Sri Lanka:

 

I loved making those envelopes! I used these Finns-are-so-weird stamps:

This letter is to Shine, Chine:

This one is to Martyna, Poland:

And this one is to Suhanya, Sri Lanka:

In her last letter she sent me a magnet so I wanted to send her a magnet aswell :)

And this yellow letter I sent to Emilia, my pretty much first actual Finnish penpal ever:

Here's what was inside:

Oh, and the final chain card from the other flower themed chain, ready to be sent back to Malaysia:

 Aaand, here's the reply I got from Emilia the first Finnish penpal of mine:

I just LOVE how beautiful the envelope is! And the matching stamps! ❤

  On the back it says "open immediately" which is pretty much what I did as soon as I received the letter :D

I was so awed when I opened the envelope, everything was just so pretty!

And I love how she'd put all the letter papers separately (or how should I call that? xD)! For example, in that picture below it says "here you can find 5 and 6" :)

 

 And this letter I got from Daria, Germany:

I love how the envelope was filled with all those cute stickers, stationery and such! ❤

And this letter I sent to Sara, Malaysia:

The envelope looks quite bad in the picture.. But anyway, I tried a bit marbling with it and it didn't turn out the way I had hoped but I still like the result. :) I put one of those stamps on her letter too:

That's all from now. Thanks for reading! ❤ Let's see when you'll hear from me the next time :D

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! ❤

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! ♥

Some Old Mail ♥

I'm soo behind in keeping track of my latest mail, I'm sorry! But here's some old lovelies I think I still haven't posted here :) (yup, I can't even remember what I've already posted and what not >_<)

First a letter I sent to Suhanya, Sri Lanka:

A chain card I received from Taiwan and sent onwards to Malaysia (flower themed):

A pretty letter received from Martyna, Poland (seriously, a LONG time ago..) :

And a letter I sent her:

More mail will be up tomorrow! ♥

Me Being a Lazy Blogger xD - Incoming & Outgoing

Živjo! (that's hello in Slovenian, I guess that's the correct spelling :D)

I feel like I'm always late posting the mail I've got or sent so please forgive me! >_<

These are three incoming lovelies I received just a bit after the beginning of 2016:

A letter from Poland (picture below ^^), a letter from a new penpal from Sri Lanka (the envelope was kind of the letter at the same time so I didn't take any other pictures of it) and a flower themed chain card that came from China (mine's here) :)

Here's the cute letter from Martyna, Poland ♡:

And now to the outgoing mail!

The chain card ready to travel to its next destination - Malaysia:

A letter to Martyna with a few pages about places you can see in Turku and an eraser (sorry about the awful lightning! :c):

And a letter to the new Sri Lankan penpal Suhanya ♡:

I hope you are all having a nice and relaxing weekend! ♡

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 Week 47 (1/3) - Incoming

As I promised, I've got a lot mail to show you! I'll post all my mail of week 47 in three parts, this is the part one! :) In this one there will be only some of the incoming mail I've received this week (still not all of it :D)...

First a pretty letter from Poland! I love it, thanks Martyna! ♥ ↴

(It's funny how the letter came to me even though it says only "Melissa". There's only my last name written on the mailbox , not even the number of my house. The mailman must have learned that all the pretty envelopes are for me xD)

Also I received this cutie from Germany (look at those owls! ♥) ↴

 Thanks, Daria!! You have no idea how much I love everything you sent! I mean, look at those stickers for example :D

Aaand also my stamp order arrived! I wanted to use some of the stamps instantly so I had to take pictures of them in the evening ---> the reason for that awful lightning >_<

These are my faves at the moment! ↴

I'm so excited to use these new Christmas stamps, they're so pretty and shimmery ♥ ↴

Stay tuned for part 2! ♥
