Tiger = Paradise (Haul!! ♥)

First to my penpals & others who I'm swapping with: I have received a lot of mail lately, probably also yours (Don't worry, it's just me being lazy :D), and I'll show them here tomorrow. Also, I've sent some mail but it'll take longer for them to arrive because of the strikes..

My number one favorite crafting store in Finland is definitely Tiger! You always find something that you just desperately need - even though you've never before even known that the item existed. Do you guys feel me? Does that ever happen to you? You just see something and you have know idea how you've lived without it :D So obviously I'm doing a little Tiger haul now, partly because I want to and partly because there's no mail coming in a few days because of the postal strikes in Finland.

Jee, välillä taas kirjoittelua suomeksikin! :) 

Eli Tiger on oikeasti mun ehdoton lemppari kaikista Suomen askartelu- ja tilpehöörikaupoista. Jotenkin mä satun aina löytämään sieltä asioita, joita en ennen edes tiennyt tarvitsevani.. :D Käykö teille koskaan niin? Kuitenkin, ajattelin nyt kirjoittaa pienen postauksen löydöistäni! Nyt kun ei postikaan oikein kulje, on kiva kirjoitella muista jutuista.

Also one thing that makes me love Tiger more is how the packages have those funny little texts on them, such as "Did you know that the average person spends 2 weeks of his/her life waiting for a traffic light to change?" or "A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." -Gandalf the Grey. ♥ 

Mä tykkään myös tosi paljon noista hauskoista pikku teksteistä pakettien ja pakkausten päällä, kuten "Did you know that the average person spends 2 weeks of his/her life waiting for a traffic light to change?" tai "A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." -Gandalf the Grey. :)

I might also like these cute shopping bags, just a bit ;) ↴

Address labels 1€ & (parchment paper) envelopes 2€  ✿  Etiketit, joista ainakin osaa ajattelin käyttää osoitteiden kirjoittamiseen (1€) ja ihanat pergamenttipaperiset kirjekuoret 2€ 

One of the impulse purchases, a DIY jigsaw puzzle (1€) . I have some potential using ideas for it, let's see which one I'll do :D  ✿  Palapeli, jonka voi itse koristella (1€ ). Mulla on muutamia ideoita, mitä tekisin sillä, mutta katsotaan nyt milloin saan inspiraation toteuttaa jonkun ideoistani :D

These tapes aren't from Tiger, I think I found them from Suomalainen Kirjakauppa (Finnish bookstore). They were something around 3€  ✿  Nämä nätit teipit taisin löytää Suomalaisesta Kirjakaupasta! Oli pakko ottaa, kun maksoivat vain 3€ ^^

And last but not least, small heart stickers (0.5 €) and tiny flags that I got for 2€ ✿ Pieniä sydäntarroja, joilla on kyllä aina käyttöä ja suomenlippuja. Tarrat maksoivat 50 senttiä ja liput 2€

Surprisingly, I didn't buy that much! :D But those were my latest purchasings anyway, I hope you liked them as much as I do haha ^^ See you again tomorrow! ✿ Ihme kyllä, en loppujen lopuksi ostanutkaan niin paljoa kuin yleensä! Toivottavasti kuitenkin tykkäsitte tästä lyhyestä esittelystä :) Huomenna siis taas palaillaan!

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 :)

A small birthday package to Germany!

Hiii! I haven't had any time or motivation to send mail lately... soo here is a small parcel I sent out to Germany and which is already received! :)

My penpal had birthday and I wanted to send her a little something because she also sent me a gift when I had my birthday. Here's what I sent her:

Chocolate (I mean, seriously. :D), chewing gum, a pen, shower gel, other candies, erasers, stickers, a nail file, magnet, brochures... It was really nice to put those together! And my penpal also seemed to like them which is of course the whole point :) 

Unfortunately I certainly had no time to take a picture of the package itself (as I was literally running to the post office after school haha) but I decorated it with light green Moomin gift wrapping paper. :D
