[Received] and [Sent]

Long time no see ^__^

Just wanted to wish you guys a great switch of years^^

These are the cards I received either November or December but had 

not yet the chance to upload them^^ 

Two of them are from my postcard pal from Japan ^^

The others are from tags or Round Robins from the postcrossing forum.

I also received some great cards from SantaClaus :D

(I've written him a letter and received these cards with his reply ;) )

This is not a postcard but an ATC I received with a swap

on swap-bot :) I'll show the one I made when she received it^^

I received these cards and Pokemon stickers from sylphis :D

Two more cards are hidden on the back of the Snoopy and Hello Kitty card ^^

We send each other Thank you cards, so this is her reply^__^

This is an envelope with a letter I sent to a friend I get to know in Japan but now 

moved back to her hometown^^

Have a great start into the New Year!

.: Mail Art :.

Just wanted to share this video about mail art with you guys:

I think it is a very cool and inspirational video! 

I just love listening to people talking passionately about

things they enjoy doing :) I'm sure I've already watched it a dozen of times 

while doing mail art or cleaning my room^^

It made me instantly do some mail art for friends I haven't met for a while.

I will be posting some of them before the year ends :D

Please visit the site making mail to send them feedback or connect with the artist's in the video^^

[Received] A letter and postcards from swaps, tags, RR

Hi guys :D

It's been a busy month ^__^ I cleaned out two of my closets to look behind them if there's any mold. Luckily there's none. There's a nice side effect to it: I found a lot of stuff I was looking for :P (and sorted out the clothes I don't wear anymore to give away^^)

So here's a new update with some of the recently received postcards and letters:

This card came from a manga/anime fanclub member. Detective Conan is one of my all time favorite anime/manga series, so I was very happy to receive it. She also used a really cool DC stamp: Kaito Kid!

The Pokémon card is from a private swap with a japanese postcrossing member^^ She used really cute stamps and Pokémon washi tape :D Pokémon is another one of my all time favorite anime/game ^o^//

The upper card is from my postcard penpal :) He's from Japan but lives in Germany.

The other card is from a random user from Taiwan received from the official postcrossing page^^

Those are some cards I received from RR I joined/hosted :D

I'm so happy to be able to trade such cool cards ^__^

This is a letter from my penpal from Hokkaido, Japan.

We have been pals for a bit longer than a year :) 

This time she send me some cute note paper, a memo, 

a pen (hidden in the brown envelope :P) and also 

japanese mayonaise to try ^__^

I have received some more postcards, but am a bit lazy to photograph and edit them :P

Next time I'll post the rest I've received in this year :D

These are cards from the official Postcrossing project:

PT-388966

This card is from a Portoguese teacher.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words :)

He asked me why I use a Hyena as a profile picture on 

the official site, but I forgot to answer in the Hurray message.

So here's my answer:

I went sightseeing together with a friend in Ôsaka and Kyôto,

and we also found a cute Hyena which I took a photograph of :)

I just think Hyenas are cute animals ^__^

[Received] Postcrossing Postcards in October

In this post I'm going to show you some my favorite received postcards from the postcrossing project :D

JP-577052

This card is from a Postcrosser living in Fukuoka, Japan. She wrote the card in Japanese <3 There was an exhibition about Hokusai in a museum to which she went to enjoy his art :) 

I think many people know him best for his ukiyo-e Kanagawa oki nami ura (the great wave).

I was very happy to receive this card from Mika-san :) Thank you very much! Pokemon is one of my favorites and it made me happy to read about your life :)

Also!! She thought me a word in Fukuoka dialect: "Erai sugokatta bai!" which means something like "it was really good/cool!" 

I really love learning japanese dialects ^__^

These are the cute stamps she used:

From Poland I received this cute squirrel:

PL-964188

I received this card from Evelina from east of Poland. She lives together with her mother and her two dogs and likes working in the garden.

She wrote a bit more than I'm telling but I won't go into detail here ;)

I really enjoyed reading about her story :)

Tomorrow I will show you some more postcards I received in October from private swaps and Round Robins :) Also stay tuned for some mail decorating I'm going to show this week :D

Long time no see..

It's been a long time since I last posted but in the future I want to post outgoing mail and incoming mail more frequently - or at least regularly ;)

I am also registered at postcrossing and will be showing the postcards I will be mailing out and receiving and everything mail related :D

I hope you'll enjoy my blog and visit again :)
