ATC and envelope Swaps coming in :)

Last week I received three great swaps; two from swap-bot (one of them is an angel) and one from Maria.

 This was from Autumn Fairy ATC swap at swap-bot. She gave me some beautiful extra sunflower paper :)

 This is an angel from the pick 5 swap on swap-bot. Thanks a lot heavenscreations, it made my day!! :)

This cool package is an envelope trade with Maria. I have yet to fully prepare mine, because of university starting and a short trip to Rome I only have been able to do two envelopes right now. So this is my next great task to do :)

Since I don't have much time to do more crafts at one time, I've canceled some of the swaps I signed up at swap-bot in which partners were not yet assigned or sign up date hasn't reached. Also because of the expenses, even when I have time I will do ATCs for my own without signing up and trade them at another time :) so I don't have to stop being creative xD Right now I'm steadily building up a Pikachu ATC collection. After making the envelopes, I'll continue with ATCs^^ When the series is finished I'll post them here^^

Mail coming in this week :3

This week I've got some gorgeous new mail  :D First I got my second swap from a series of mail art swaps:

At the end of the series I'll have a set of colorful envelopes ~^-^~ This one was orange and she put some lovely extras in this nice envelope :3

Somehow I forgot to post the first in this series: red

The envelope is made of red chinese traditional paper with stickers, doodles and stamps on it :)

I also got my second shades of black atc.. I love the cute panda and penguin!! :D (of course also the extra atc papers ;)

New Atc in my (yet) small collection :D

Today I received another great ATC from a group swap (shades of black) from swap-bot :) I also love the ATC envelope she made, which gives me a new idea what to craft in the future ;)

 

Thanks so much Jenny for these cool ATC and envelope ^-^ 

New incoming mail ^w^

This tuesday was a great mail day for me ^-^
I received one atc swap from swap bot and stickers and memo pads from an east asian/european tag thread in postcrossing :D

 It was a "nightmare before christmas atc" swap, but he gave me a lot of extras  :) Thanks a lot!! :D

I really love mamegoma, so I am especially happy about these limited edition items :D 本当　ありがとう　りえちゃん！！

University has started for me so I'm going to take it a little easy from swaps the following months, though I'm not going to quit entirely :D

Mails going out, coming in :)

I participated in a few swaps in swap-bot and this is the mail going out

mail art challenge orange:

The orange drawing is somehow fading .__.
but it was fun designing it so I'll be doing mail art more often in the future ^__^

atc once a week:

 

Mail going out~

Some of the mails going out today

the mail with the little kitty on it is for a tag in postcrossing and the other one is for a group swap of swap-bot. I can't show it yet, because the surprise would be spoiled since it's a mail art swap ;) I might post after I've been rated^^

I received two packages but can't find the photos I made of them ;__; maybe I'll post next time ^__^

Hand'crafted' envelopes

A while ago I discovered a site (from Maria) which inspired me to decorate my envelopes.
These are the first ones I made:

and these are the first mini envelopes I made:

It was fun doing them and I'll definitely do some more ^-^

New Penpal from Hongkong

Last week I have received a cool letter from my new penpal from Hongkong.

She told me about herself on this cute letter paper :) Can't wait to get an answer to my reply ^-^

Tag items :)

I've been tagged in the tag Hello Kitty, Care Bears, etc.
These are the great things I received a while ago :

I totally love the notebook and the small note pads! They are so kawaii!! :D

Another great letter from my japanese penpal :)

It's great to come back from a long term vacation and find a great letter in the mail box ^__^
She has written to me about her vacation and sent me these cute Ruffy and Chopper mini bookmarks:

Thanks for this great letter Karin! :)

Mail from my japanese penpal ^__^

Two weeks ago my new japanese penpal sent her first letter to me:

I was happy to read this great letter, and also happy to get the little butterfly, leave and sakura blossom and the nice anime stamp.

After sending my reply I received from the same penpal this lovely letter together with a golden
paper crane -^__^-:

I love doing origami so I really love the paper crane and also the Hello Kitty stamp with little paper cranes on it <3 (and also I liked the bunny stamp -^__^-)  It is a great letter I really enjoyed reading <3
