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! :)

Mail Week 47 (3/3) - Outgoing & Incoming

Heyy! Here's the part three of this week's mail ♥

Today we're going to theatre to celebrate my grandparents' wedding anniversary and have a good family dinner. What are you doing today? :)

I was soo in Christmas mood when taking these pictures, that's why the background is what it is. :D And talking about Christmas, I've had a little Christmas card factory going on this weekend. I can't wait to show you the cards I've made! Have you already made/bought some Christmas cards? 

First I want to show you this envelope I sent to Tinne, Belgium  ↴

I sent her some Finnish stamps in the exchange of some nice coins (we'll get to that later..) ↴

Also I've sent and received and sent again postcards.. The left one is for a Disney PC swap on Swap-bot (the first one never made it so I had to resend, ugh >_<) and the other one is for a Chaincard Project on Instagram (my card's here). It's from the U.S. (NY) and I already sent it off to Scotland. :) It's so rude that the post officers have ruined those pretty stamps with a marker!! ↴

I also received some really nice coins from Lily in this envelope (notice the stamp, I think those are so funny :D) ↴

Coins from Thailand and Malaysia ♥ ↴

Especially the Malaysian one (left) is soo pretty! ♥

Now to the coins from Tinne! If I remember right, this is the first time for me to receive something from Belgium :)

Cool old coins from the Netherlands and Belgium ↴  

Thank you all!! ♥♥♥

That's all from now, please stay tuned for something else next time! ;)

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 :)

Sticker Slapped PC and Stamps from Lithuania

Hi! How are you? I'd love to hear more from you guys. :)

Ja suomeksikin tietty! Oon nykyään kirjoittanut postauksia lähes poikkeuksetta vain englanniksi, koska oon ajatellut, että sitä lähes kaikki taitaa ymmärtää. Olisi kuitenkin kiva kuulla teidän suomalaisten lukijoiden näkökulmasta, että tykkäisittekö lukea postauksia myös suomeksi vai onko englanti okei. Ja muutenkin olisi kiva kuulla, mitä teille kuuluu. Niin, ja aina voi tietty kommentoida suomeksi niin kuin osa on tehnyt. :) Teidän kommentteja ja kuulumisia on aina tosi piristävä lukea! ^^

Today I'm excited to show you more incoming mail! These came today, they're both swaps.

My friends (most of them) don't really seem to understand how I can be so excited about mail but I count on you guys, you know what a nice mailday is able to do for your mood. ;D

This postcard is from Tina, Mississippi. I was excited to join one of those Sticker Slapped PC swaps because they seem like a lot of fun and straight after joining I headed to make my own postcard. I think it's not received yet but I'll show you the card I sent when I know it's reached its destination. :)

I love how colorful this postcard looks:

And the yellow envelope came from Ema, Lithuania. It's from another Used Stamps swaps ^^

I have no idea why blogger wanted to rotate the picture (below). I literally uploaded it like 3738227380 times and it was fine before uploading. >__< So please don't mind (mind blogger xD). :)

Here are the stamps:

I really like especially the ones from Portugal and Czech Republic!

And here are the stamps on the postcard and envelope:

Thanks, ladies! :)

Postcards, stamps.. ♡

Hi! I hope everyone's having a great beginning of November :) I just came home from yoga and now have some time to write before going to sauna, relaxing evening I would say ♡

Here is some of the latest mail that I haven't posted yet! 

Postcards from Denmark (from a friend ♡) & Romania (PC swap) and the nice stamps:

Also one swap I sent (which is already received) to Nevada, USA. It was a 10 Used Stamps swap and here are the stamps I sent:

My partner said that she also likes foreign coins so I decided to send some old Finnish coins (penni) :)

And now to sauna, see you! ♡

Stamps to Australia

Another swap I've joined - 10 Used Post Stamps #28! Here are the stamps I sent to Australia, the stamps that I got from my partner are already here. :)

I even took the pictures outside! :D Not sure whether the background looks nice or just simply stupid. Anyway, :D here are the stamps I sent:

Oh, and have you already voted? I added a poll about what you'd like to read on this blog, you can find it in the right top corner! :)

★ Two Outgoing Swaps

Here's some of the mail I sent last week!

Left: Favourite Quote PC Swap ★ Right: 20 Used Post Stamps #26 Swap

I really can't say I like the plain envelope that left to Germany, I should've decorated it :/

But I like the stamp I put on it :D

And the card's also to Germany  

These are the stamps I sent:

For what I know, at least the postcard is already received. Now I'm just waiting for my other mail to reach their destinations.. :)

And I just realized today is exactly 100 days from the last night in Turkey! I still can't believe it! Time is a strange thing, it always amazes me. So tomorrow is a day when I've been at home again for total 100 days. Wow. O__O That's all I can say really.

I'll talk to you guys soon with more mail I sent last week! ★

Floral Amazingness from Las Vegas

I was so happy to see this beautiful envie in my mailbox today:

Turned out it was from Las Vegas, USA via another used stamps swap I've joined! :) The whole thing was to send only 10 used post stamps, but my sweet partner took it to the next level and also sent a postcard and a small gift. ♥

I especially love those four stamps from Japan! ♥

My partner Liz sent me these as a gift:

Thanks a lot! :)

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! ♥ :) 

Outgoing mail to Poland, Arizona, China, Virginia...

Hey loves!

 

Here's some outgoing mail that's hopefully already found their way to where they belong. ^^

 

These three letters I sent out about 2 weeks ago:

 

To Shine, China ↴
 

To Martyna, Poland ↴
 

I also sent her some used stamps and coins :)
 

To Daria, Germany ↴
 

And these are some cards for two of my first "real" Swap-bot swaps! Simply a Sender's Choice Tourist Postcard Swap (two PCs) & Disney PC Swap Int. #4  :) (AND the same letter to Poland I sent two weeks ago. I had to resend it for a reason you'll read soon >__<) ↴
 

Soo in the first picture you can see how this envelope looked like when I sent it for the first time. Turned out that it wasn't clear enough that the letter was to POLAND not to Finland.. I found it in my mailbox a day after sending it! :D But I'm glad that a) it came back to me so I could send it again and b) it wasn't marked so I didn't have to struggle with figuring out whether I should make a new envelope or just covering the old stamp. xD And I get it why the letter came back to me, I admit that it was quite incoherent.

So here's how I tried to make it clear it's supposed to go to Poland haha :D ↴ At least I haven't gotten it back again so I'm really hoping it's in Poland safe and sound now ^^

Oh, and here are the stamps I put on the postcards to Arizona, Germany and Virginia!

 

I've gotten totally in love with Swap-bot, so many swap-related posts coming soon... ;D
