Outgoing mail
Today’s outgoing mail! Some letters going out to Tamara, Marlene and Carmen… a postcard to Melissa and little packages to Tomomi and Jessica. 
Incoming package from Tomomi
Tomomi sent me this cute little package from Japan. I absolutely love the Disney stamps and how she decorated the front. And inside… this goody pack was filled with some roasted green tea, coffee, a lovely letter and sweet wedding card. Thank you, Tomomi!
Outgoing mail to Trisha, Adrienne & Shelby
Letter to Tomomi in Japan
Sent this out to my newest pen pal, Tomomi! Bought the stickers at Kyobo… and the labels are from Daiso.
Handmade Envelopes
Instead of throwing away old magazines why not make your own envelopes? Here are some recent outgoing letters that I stuffed into envelopes made from folded Korean magazine paper. I had finished reading (or at least attempted to read) a free magazine and I love the look of Hangul so I thought I’d recycle by turning all that waste into fun envelopes.
Once you decorate them with stickers and stamps they really come together.
You can check out the folding template below.
I was inspired by this handmade newspaper envelope that I received from a friend out in BC.
The design possibilities are endless and each envelope is different. They are all so unique because of the fact that no two pages in a magazine are the same 🙂
I think it makes letters extra special when you decide to send an envelope with some colour or print instead of a plain white one. In any case, these were fun to make and now I have a huge stack of them. Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
Goodies from Theresa and Gabrielle
Theresa from USA sent me these very cool vintage postcards. In her envelope were also some Sandylion stickers (which take me back in time too) and a fairy/fantasy themed stationery set. I have started collecting vintage looking cards, especially the “vogue” postcards.
I also received this six page letter from fellow Canadian, Gabrielle. Her handwriting is just perfect and she also has artistic flair because of the cool handmade envelope. She included a postcard of West Coast BC and I am so excited to witness the scenery firsthand. I will move there at the end of the year and I’m SO excited!

Inkwell Letter Envelope
Jocintha from the Netherlands sent this really awesome inkwell letter envelope in the mail.
The stamps, stickers and tape make it so unique.
Incoming from Emma
Yahooo!!! Incoming mail from Emma!
I loved this so much! First off, the design on this envelope is brilliant!
Then, after opening it I found that she had sent some goodies.
She included three sticker pages with her letter – all super cute, 100% my style 😉
Thank you Emma. A response coming your way soon.
