Yep, I'm back! Sorry for the disappearing bit last week, but I had quite the busy week and got ill. The ability to speak is something I will cherish from now on ;-) Luckily, I'm all beter now.
I'm here with you today with a huuuuuuge edition of Snail mail Sunday! So grab yourself a cup of tea, listen to this song (by Humble Flirt), sit back, relax & read along.
To Ely:
A few weeks ago I sent out this package to Ely. I really hope it has arrived, but I'm not sure. I included some stamps & stickers, a few pretty images, a snowy postcard, some of my own photographs, a handmade zipper bag and off course a letter (in Spanish) :)
To Fab:
Since my previous letter didn't make it to Fab's home, I made her another notebook and included some other goodies. I also thought the photograph on the envelope was so pretty! It's a photograph made by Stephan Vanfleteren (one of my fav photographers).
To Merula:
Merula agreed to do a little swap with me (click here to find out what she sent me) and didn't really know what I could make for her, but Siem (her son) wanted a marble bag, so I made him one. Hope he likes it! I also included some other "goodies".
I received lots and lots of birthdaymail! You're too kind :-)
Thank you all so much for your sweet birthdaywishes and cute surprises :) Wish I could send you all something, but since postage stamps are rather expensive, I'm going to send a little something to Romee because of the bad luck she had with the postal service. She sent me a birthday garland and a lucky doll, but they both got really damaged (as a matter of fact, I didn't even receive the lucky doll, I'm just guessing it arrived at the post office and a mail(wo)man could really use it that day?). Look, here's evidence!
And let me show you what the other cute surprises looked like:
owls on the envelope & pretty decorated ones & hard puzzles (still haven't found all the answers, Lies!)
all things mint. I got the cat ring from Jessi, the owl earrings from Lies (and thanks to a little hint I painted them in my favorite nailpolish color ever! Such a clever idea!) & the pencil pouch from Kelly.
owl themed gifts from Fab!
Oh god, how I love the blogosphere. Once again, thank you all so much for brightening up my birthday (and the days after that :) )
Have a nice Sunday and I'll talk to you soon!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo much owls - I love them!! :) I can't remember when I had such a great mail month.. If you have some time, I would love to get letter from you <3
BeantwoordenVerwijdereno alsnog een gefeliciteerd dus! Ik zag dit blogbericht zondag al en toen begon ik enthousiast te lezen totdat ik mijn naam tegen kwam. O ho!!! Ik wilde wel dat de post een verassing zou blijven, dus ben toen gauw weg geklikt ;)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEn vandaag kon ik eindelijk kijken want vandaag was de post geweest die de leuke knikkerzak bracht en alle andere spulletjes. En super leuk gemaakt hoor! Leuke kleurtjes en handig met naam en de binnenvoering met ander stofje is ook lief. Siem vond hem ook leuk en trok vervolgens meteen aanhet touwtje, maar dat was de verkeerde kant en ton floepte die er dus uit *zucht* Die moet ik dus even met een breinaald terug frummelen zometeen :)
De enveloppen en kaartjes en foto's en frummeltjes zijn ook allemaal leuk. Dus heeel erg bedankt :)
Wow, such a great mail week! I love how you ended up getting a lot of owl themed gifts and I'm very happy you got, and liked mine too :)
