Here comes mail

And just after yesterday's post I got a letter today, from Destiny who I missed not hearing from for a long. Good news, she's back in penpalling.

 Including bonsai cards that matches the stamps.

 ...and sakura cards with their envelopes.

And finally, this long letter. They are just so enjoyable, especially from a good friend.

I hope to reply to some letters during the weekend.

Hey guys

I'm still alive just not really active, yet I don't have much to say lately, so busy with studies that I reply to mail really slow and as a result, it reaches me slow as well. Over the past months I lost pals, gained few new but it's still very quiet lately.
I can only enjoy the manga in this post. I ordered it around two weeks ago and received it yesterday. "Natsume's book of friends"(Natsume Yuujincho) is one of my favorite manga and I wish to collect all volumes.
Here how it looks like.

And here's my pile of letters waiting to be replied D:

That's it. I'll try to be active again, when I have things to update. Until then.

Almantina

Little update

No new incoming mail lately, but at least here's a picture of outgoing mail I sent this week, 7 letters.

 This was the best discovery - letter paper pads.

All of them. Finally I could find and buy this in my city, I'm just looking forward to finding more of them and writing beautiful letters from now on.
I also bought more postcards and ready to send them with my letters.

The actual first year post(picture heavy)

Hey, I've got quite a nice bunch mail this month and it's not over yet. Some of them were from last year but I only saw it in this year. Let's look through.

 From Norway, Anette.

 LR, USA.

 This was the first time I was contacted thanks to my adress in FB, it was a nice surprise. From Finland.

 Christmas card from South Korea, Odette.

 She also sent me this necklace.

 From Bree, Malaysia. I opened it it on January 5th only.

 This was inside of gifts. And a letter.

 Two packages I got before Christmas.

One was from Japan.

 The other one is from Germany.

 Christmas ornaments...

 ...and cup with candy from Germany. Such a lovely present.

 Traditional sweets and coffee from Japan.

 Also got a Christmas card from Japan too.

 This is how that coffee looked like. pretty interesting way to put it in the cup and easy to use.

From Shelby, USA.

 From Teja, Slovenia. Along with some pictures she sent me.

 Tanja, Germany.

Curious, Mexico.

 Ana, Croatia. She gave this to my hands when she came over here. My first meeting with a foreign pal :)

And last one came from France, Tari. The lenght of the letter is amazing. 14 pages with these small letters.

First post of 2013

I wanted it to be a new update but of course, I'm most of the time behind with it.
First of all, happy New Year, I wish you the best in snail mailing and life this year.
Now to get on with the late mail that came in the old year.
I have got some nice postcards and gifts along with letters.

Letter and card from Linnie, Scotland.

 Handmade bookmark.

 The letter and card from Laurita, my Lithuanian mate.

 Lizzie's letter is in Christmas mood too.

 Many adorable stamps, it's fishing theme~

The horse magazines, card(quite funny) and presents. There was a big lollipop and horse posters. I wasn't peeking either.

Interesting card from Eve, USA.

 From my internet friend.

What a lovely card from Germany.

It's December!

Can you believe it? It's December again and Christmas is just in three weeks. Which means I have three weeks of this semester left and then starts my holidays before exams.
I still have mail from November and I will start with it.
There's a letter from Belgium which I missed out in the folder with pictures once and just noticed it from the end of October.

 This one from Silvia.



Now the latest mail.
First one from lovely Tanja, Germany.

 From Rina, Japan. I was really surprised, because I last heard from her in January.

 P.S.Japanese snacks are always delicious and they are so different from what we have.

 This one in forest theme came from France, Tari. Her letters are enjoyable reading adventure.

 Previous week I was really spoiled by all of my Finnish friends. On Tuesday received the package from my internet friend Minttu who sent me a cd of my favorite Korean band, since she got another one. It's really a special girt to me, because it's my first album of the band and first album at all. I'm still so happy that I can't put it away and leave it alone. Also got two snacks, one of them (!) Green tea kit kat. Dreams coming true, now I won't forget the taste of it :)

 The delicious kit kat. I have never had tried powdered green tea but tried Sencha. If you ever had it you can imagine the taste too. Of course, a bit more sweeter than natural tea ;)

 On Thursday was spoiled by two other Finnish girls. Postcard from Lapland by Lily.

 The stamp is gorgeous.

 And from Tiia. Christmas greeting card, letter(one page in Christmas theme), tea, photos(the other one depicting her so it's not in here), brochure from train museum, train tickets and some stamps. She is a pal who will deffinately take in consider time of the year, any bigger holidays which is always nice.

 As a difference to it a Halloween themed letter came from USA, Nicole. Got two more FB's and now I have 4 of them. Who to send them?:/ The last letter of November.

And here's the first one of December, from USA again, Laura.

It's already time to prepare and send Christmas cards. I hope to make an update of that as well with the outgoing mail, because I can't quite remember the last time I did that.

I wish you all to get some snow soon because I'm hoping for it too.
