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.

All of the latest outgoing

It was so hard to make myself finally update this, but I wanted t do it and here it, all the latest outgoing mail that wasn't shown.

First of all, 6 postcards sent for swap.

A promised introductory letter to a new postcard swap pal from China and a card for her from my city.

From the left. Card to Rina, Japanese pal. To new postcard pal from Japan and to new one from South Korea.

 Replies. From left - Silvia in Belgium, Marta in Poland and Cristina in Moldova.

Reply to Lizzie in Sweden.

To Elisabeth in Norway.

Longest reply this week goes to Eve in USA.

And another nice reply to Tiia in Finland.

Next will be my mail week update.

My biggest update

Already half of the month has passed and it's time to go through all the mail I go during my exams before starting my letter replying party.
Prepare for loads of photos.
Two letters date back to the end of May.
One of them is from Karolina, Czech republic.

 Her always cute stationery.

 Stamps. The art one is so interesting.

 Some tea.

 Stamps to my collection.

Another FB.

And a card of Czech rocks. They always pop out in mind thinking about this country.
Next one was from Bree, Malaysia.

 The envie is always decorated nicely. And then there's nature-themed stamps.

Two photos of Malaysian dishes: dumplings and mooncakes.
My Norwegian pal Elisabeth sent me this postcard of the hotel she works in. It's a really gorgeous place.

Next day there were two packages. The first one is from Louise in UK. She added a notebook with her letter.

Another was from Silvia in Belgium.

 Leaflets from her city.

 Letter written in colorful pens and the chocolates she sent me. I loved them.
Letter from Eugenia, Russia:

Letter from Ana, Croatia. With Croatian lesson and tea. Vanilla one was gone at once.

Lily from Finland decided to surprise me with her package. I saw it on blog, but haven't thought it's for me. So the joy of seeing that the one with train stamps was adressed for me was huge.

 So much tea!

 Various postcards.

 small goodies.

And more stamps.

 Not sure how to describe this: you can "dress up" the frog with those clothes and write "from/to" on them. Deffinately cute.

 A ring with three horse heads, though first thing my friend saw was wolf heads...both ways seems fine to interpret. I never wore rings before, but I miss it when I take it off. (Lily, does that mean you proposed to me?:D)

I admit: never had that much nice stationery in my hands. These all pages are doubles too.
Then there's the letter. I love long letters and this one took me long to read. But I re-read it once again later, that's the magic of long letters - they make me want to read them more times.

Next was a letter from Norway, Anette.

 Oh look, a horse sticker <3

Next was a first reply from Caddi, Germany. I like the matching sticker and stamp.

Now it's finally this week and every day, except for Thursday, I got mail.
On Monday it was from USA and Germany.

This cute one from Shelby. Also a FB that has traveled through quite a few of my pals.
And adorable Marie's. Her handwriting is really tiny, I have never seen such before :)

 A stamp with a mailbox. It's adorable.

On Tuesday: from Canada and France.
Nicole's reply with her handmade envie.

 And a closer look to the horse stamps. That is rare.

Another one was from Tari. the letter we thought got lost. But here it is.

Postcard with a French lesson and..tea, of course.
On Wednesday it was from USA and Bulgaria.
This was the first letter from Hristiyana.

 Tha postcard is a map of Bulgaria and it shows the historical cities.

 

My pal Eve opened a shop in USA online and sent me her business card.

 And a loooong reply.

On Friday there was most: two letters and a package.
Letters from: Claudia, Poland. I haven't heard from her since January.

And Cristina, Moldova.

 The interesting envelope and stamp.

The package is from Lizzie who's been spoiling me all the time. All kinds of horse stuff!
A wristband and I would put even more of this stuff, the heavier the better.

 The huge package and two horse magazines already.

 3 more new posters.

Not sure where to use this. So far it's hanging on my bike.

 More adorable envies.

 A photo(?) book for horses. I'm guessing again.

Postcard from the land of candy...sorry that I don't have a Swedish keybord, but the title is on the card. I know that they make awesome candy which only Sweden has.

Talk about candy...~

Double-sided horse cards <3

Horse stickers~

The letter itself.
And lastly, Saturday.
Lily loves to make suprises to me and now I got this card from her. It's amazing, I have never seen anything before. Now I learnt the rules of tea brewing.

And Elisabeth's letter.

 I love it how my adress was sticked from these letters.

Cute cute cute~
stickers :3

This place...can I live there too? It's between the water and mountains, like it was at the edge of the world.
So this is all of my update from the exams and now I'm working on those replies. I'll update my replies here too. It's amazing if you actually survived throught the whole post of photo blabber.
