Incoming mail ^__^

The last two weeks were a bit busy with finishing papers and uni starting again^^

Some of the letters/swaps I received: 

I swapped Pokemon ATCs with an indonesion friend from postcrossing forum ^__^

They are sooooo cute <3

The Pikachu on the back is a food package postcard :D

I started collecting food package postcards with cute characters so this one fits right in ^__^

I participated in the Offers&Request RR and received these cool cards from Detective Conan :D

The one on the left is from the Japan - Other countries Tag. The Japanese are usually very 

fast tagged so I am only able to tag once or twice a year. I especially love the soft pastel colors :)

I think it's made with water colors.

The postcard in the middle is from my postcard pal from Japan. Do you recognize Mr. Fuji.

I love calling Mount Fuji Mister Fuji as he's called Fuji-san in Japanese and san could

 also mean  Mister or Miss. :D

The card on the right is from a Lithuanian friend :D The cat is sooo cute, right? Right :D

And here's a letter and postcard from my new penpal from Japan. ^^

She has a german boyfriend so she also learns german and mixes 

some german sentences with english sentences^^

I was looking for one who enjoys art so I was happy to start a new friendship with her.

And I also received a letter from a penpal in Japan I already write to for about a year and a half^^

I was very surprised when I read some German sentences in the beginning :D

And this is a reply from an america penpal I met through the penpal RR ^^

I also send some replies to my penpal pals:

The postcard is from the Manga 31 I Dream by Arina Tanemura, I like the story so far so I wanted to share something about it ^^ I read in her swap-bot profile that she likes Chai teas so I sent one to try. :)

As she likes cats I send her a roller friend. It is something to roll cables on e.g.ear phone cables^^.


I'll be sending my replies very soon :D

Incoming ^o^//

Recently I'm slowing a bit down with swaps and tags from postcrossing 

and swap-bot to focus on my studies but also on my penpal letters and sending some happy mail to my former classmates ^__^ (but I'll still do some swaps & tags from time to time ^__^)

Last Saturday I received a lovely little package from a japanese postcrossing member, who I tagged for letter paper, memo sheets, washi, sticker flakes and Pokemon postcard and joined a RoundRobin group (for another Pokemon postcard^^). 

She used some cool Doraemon stamps ^^

A while ago I hosted a Pokemon ATC swap on swap-bot and received these three lovely Pokemon:

Plusle, Cyndaquil and Cubone

And I also received a very lovely package from my penpal in the U.K.

The envelopes have very fun colors and design and I really enjoyed reading her letter ^__^

You can see her blog here

Outgoing Mail~

While I was going through my swaps I found some plain brown envelopes
I recycled to make Air Mail tags

One of them I used on this postcard for a RoundRobin on Postcrossing ^__^

And here's another one of the snail mail envelopes I made out of the

Manga pamphlet^__^

I also send out some birthday mail a week ago^__^

She is a member of the Anime and Manga club on the postcrossing forum

I found it more and more fun to decorate postcards and envelopes ^^

I wonder.. how do YOU keep track of friends' birthdays^^?

I'm happy one of the forum's members created a thread in which everyone could post their birthdate :D

Outgoing Mail~

Last week while buying a birthday present for my brother I saw a manga preview 

(advertising) pamphlet and I used most of it for decorating my outgoing mail:

I was amazed by the adorable pictures that I didn't get read all the advertisement 

for new manga but.. oh well, I sure had fun doing the envelopes xD

I'll be uploading the other envelopes when I mail them out ^__^

Also I mailed out a swap to a Postcrossing member ^^ 

Gorgeous incoming mail :D

This week's been a very happy mail week ^__^

In the postcrossing anime subforum I won a lottery held by honzuki ^__^

She send me the three cool anime cards on the laft side inside the envelope with very

beautiful year of the goat stamps. Thank you honzuki!! 

The alice card on the right side is from the Offers &Request RR on the same forum. It is designed by the japanese digital artist Shuu ^__^

I also received an introduction letter from a new penpal from the Penpal RR. 

I'll be writing her back soon ^__^

I received this cute letter from a japanese penpal :D

The stickers are from the anime Youkai Watch^__^

And these two postcards are from my postcard pal in Germany :D

A while ago I sent out a greeting card to a japanese postcrossing member who I became friends with^^

She loves the German soccer team Schalke so I send her two postcards of the team members 

along with the greeting card.

And I received a lovely reply from her together with some anime ad cards :D

I especially like the magician on the left and the two girls on the third card^^

 

And look at the lovely decorated back of the envelope <3

Choooo~ kawaiii ^___^ (Very cute!)

Did you have a happy mail week too^^?

Mini Sticker Haul :D

Heyho!

This week I've found some super cute stickers to use 

for my mail and diary ^__^

And I bought a magazine just because I like the stickers :P

What is your favorite way to pretty up your mail/diary^^?

Outgoing mail February and early march ^__^

Hi there ^__^

I recently haven't uploaded any photos of my outgoing mail so here come most of the mail I've sent in February and early March ^__^

This was a private swap with someone from the postcrossing forum ( I received the Pokemon movie postcard and Pokemon by Shinzi Katoh). The Krtek card is a RAS from me ^__^

I hosted a swap on swap-bot and these are the little guys I sent out ^__^

The Murakami card is an extra as I still had some on stock and my swap partner likes Murakami (the same as me ^o^//) 

I made a private swap (Ghibli ABC ATC swap) and sent this out :)

I sent these two swaps out for Pokmon Gijinka swap :D

It was a lot of fun turning the Pokemon human ^__^

Do you do ATCs? What is your favorite way of doing them?
