Mail and other pretty packages

* I'm guest posting over at Erin's blog Pugh's News. Check it out!

Hey everyone! Thanks again to everyone who signed up for the swap. I've been working on partners for awhile now and it's so close to being done. The only thing is I forgot to add myself in the count and now it's an uneven number. Oops. I was so caught up in it I didn't even realise until late last night. That's alright though I'm sure I will figure something out.

I have a small mail catch up to do. And it's a gloomy day which makes me want to just sit and read (and finish putting partners together).

Incoming...

This is from Caro. When she found out that I loved pens she sent me some from her work. So sweet! This was from awhile ago but I forgot to add it to my last mail post.

This is from Alicia. A pen pal from awhile ago and we are getting back to writing again. She saw the ornament and thought of me :) The angel is holding a butterfly!

I bought this pretty fabric tape from Anastasia's etsy shop Percival Road. She always adds pretty little extras.

I purchased the little teapot necklace and the macaroon print from Anna from her Much Love etsy shop. She added another sweet print from her other shop Dahliaville. It's so pretty and her packaging is always very sweet.

I purchased this from Janetstore. Lots of cute stationery and she added a few stickers with my order. Plus she is lovely and sends personal emails with the order.

Assorted post cards from Postcrossing. I never take pictures of the ones I send because they are always the boring tourist ones (well maybe boring to me)

This is from Ingrid. She sent me a few Friendship books she made because I didn't know what they were.

Outgoing

An old letter for Megan. I can't remember if I have showed this before because I send this awhile ago.

A little something for Alyssa. A thank you for everything she does for Project You. Plus the little sunnies reminded me of the travelling heart shaped sunglasses.

My first Dear Darling letter to Hazel.

Another Dear Darling letter. This one to Ruth.

And another Dear Darling letter. This one to Nicole. There are 4 (inc. me) in our pen pal group.

These little stud earrings are off to Alyssa. I've been making a lot of them for my etsy and for an event I'm involved in.

And that's pretty much it for now! I hope to have a lot more mail to share next time. I hope to have your swap partners today. Maybe tomorrow. Have a beautiful weekend!!

Wow, what an amazing amount of comings and goings! You lucky girl! I wish I was at home today so I could write letters and listen to the rain outside ... but instead I'm sitting in a brightly lit office. Sad :(

Love the earrings you made - are the posts nickel free?

I'm happy to have two partners if that helps even up your swap numbers?

We contemplated having our wedding photos at UQ because we both love it so much! We ended up finding somewhere we loved more, but UQ is so pretty!
