Mail and swap thinking

I haven't done a mail post in awhile. I've been a bit lazy with mail so there's just a bit of incoming from awhile back.

Incoming

This is from Joana. She's my long letter pen pal :) I love all the extras that she included. Like that sweet brooch.

I received this gorgeous package from Julia ages ago. Plus I have met up with her which will be in another post.

I love these little bow earrings she gave me.

These are some sweet little Polaroids she added.

A lovely first letter from Ingrid.

I got this from Lauren's etsy shop. She packaged it up so beautifully. And when I opened it the most lovely scent wafted out.

A lovely letter from Megan.

Inside the letter. I really love the stationery she uses for letters.

Outgoing

This was for Belen. She had already received it so I can show what's inside.

This was for Micaela. The print is an engagement present for her. She has also received this so I can show it.

For a journal swap on Swap-bot.

This was for Nicole. A birthday present that I hoped she has received.

A really late letter to Melody.

My return letter to Ingrid.

My first letter to Lauren.

This is for Joana. I forgot to take a photo of the envelope so I thought I would do a sneak peak photo of what I gave her.

So I'm finally up date with my letters. I have a few others to write that aren't bloggers and I have put together a few packages that need to be sent out too.

My other idea is I want to do a swap on here but I can't quite decide what to do. Either a book swap or some type of package swap like 'A few of my favourite things.' Let me know. What type of swap you would be interested in??? And I have a few projects in mind too.

Have a wonderful week!

A fairytale journal

I'm sure a lot of you are experiencing problems with blogger and comments. It's pretty annoying and I'm thinking of changing to something else. We'll see.

Well I thought I would share some pages from the Swap-bot fairytale journal I made. I won't show every page because that would be way to many pictures, plus a lot of them are fairly similar. Maybe I will add them to my flickr (I have so many photos I need to add there).

This is the front cover of the journal. I bought a cute little carriage charm.

It was so fat when it was done.

Pretty much the first page. That's one of my Polyvore sets that I have shared before.

I made some envelopes and put some pretty paper inside.

I printed out some of the fairytale stories that I loved.

More little envelopes. This has tiny cards with a castle on it inside.

A Snow White page.

I bought a few bits from Etsy. This ACEO is from Darkling Woods etsy shop.

This Little Red Riding Hood art postcard is from Matilou Etsy.

I got this Red Riding Hood button/bookmark from Buttonsbylulu madeit shop.

Just a Thumbelina movie quote and picture.

I got this little fairytale from Papier Mache magazine. It's a little download story I bought.

And the ending. I had a fairytale paper pack. I just stamped the Happily Ever After.

So basically I filled it up with pictures, quotes, little gifts and gave my opinions on some of the fairytales. It was a fun swap! I'm really loving these journals swaps. They're more effort but fun (especially if you get one that is lovely back).

Anyway, I'm going back to doing my to do and thinking about moving my blog somewhere else. Have a great rest of week.
