Happy Sunday! Maar oeps, ik ben een slechte penpal! Heb al een tijdje niet echt fut meer gehad om brieven te schrijven, al ga ik er volgende week zeker terug in vliegen!

to Fab
I sent this one out in November! I made my own stationary with pretty new washi tapes, and added some on a card for Fabrizia to use. I also sent her a little something to hang in a Christmas tree (or just in her room) which I find way too cute. I didn't like the original hanger so I took it off and added a colorful polkadot one :)







from Fab
Fab sent me Christmas mail! I love it, thank you so much! That little Christmas tree is soooo cute!






from Joska
Quite a while ago I participated in a 'ten things' snail mail, where I had to send out ten things I liked to a person I didn't know. I had to send out my stuff to Joska and this is what she made for me! Amazeballs! Dankjewel Joska!









Have an amazing Sunday!

Lately I've been really into embroidering, as you could see before in a few Snail mail Sunday posts. I like to make these colorful little gifts for my penpals, so they can hang them in their room or get inspired by it. On another note, I also found myself constantly looking for needles while I was sewing. They were just scattered around my supplies box, so I made a felt sewing needle booklet, and embroidered a bit on top. (and of course, I had to include some kind of owl in the booklet, after all it's still me!) :) What do you think?









Now, I gotta get back to work. Deadline for my resits is getting closer and I have tons of work to do. Talk to you later!

So, what have you been crafting lately?

This past week my mailbox has been a happy one! Let's take a look, shall we? :)



from Marlou
Marlou took me by surprise by sending me this gorgeous owly mail right before she left for Norway! A letter is on its way to you right now! (So Marlou, don't read on or you'll spoil the surprise for yourself) :)


from Courtney
I'm on this amazing postal forum (thepostalsociety.com, check it out if you want some inspiration, are looking for new penpals or are simply looking for some fun swaps!) and participated in a washi sample swap. Here's what I received from Courtney. Don't these samples look almost too cute to use? Thanks Courtney!



from Dawn
Dawn was my partner for the washi sample swap and because she liked the envelope I sent her so much she replied with some more washi tapes. This was awesome!! Such a happy find in my mailbox :)





to Dawn
Here's what I sent Dawn for the swap! (Take a look at that sassy guinea pig with a hat on in the left corner as well, hahaha!)


to Melanie
Melanie spoiled me with some amazing owly goodies a while back so I finally took the time to send her some stuff I thought she might liked :)


to Marlou
This one's on its way to Norway! Marlou had mentioned a couple times before that she loves my embroidery on paper so I made her a sweet little girl with a motivational quote to keep dreaming. I also included a magnetic dog bookmark (the little bone with a bow is just too cute) and of course a letter to tell her about my life this holiday.




That's all for this week! Today was such horrible weather, I hope it'll be better next week because I'm in need of some sunshine! Take care & I'll talk to you soon!

from Fab
Fabrizia visited London and sent me this pretty letter in a booklet form and a city scavenger hunt from London! Thank you Fab!



from Saar
Saar sent me a little package to survive the exams (almost all the KitKats are in my stomach now.. One exam to go!) with an adorable notebook for us as pen pals to fill in and a gorgeous illustration. Thanks so much hun!




from Sonja
I sent Sonja a little package with a lot of pretty stamps I didn't use and she sent me this owl snail back! She said that she didn't have any owl-related things, so she made the pretty owl card herself! Cute!



from Janina
When I saw that Janina gave away these handmade sewn cards on her blog, I couldn't not participate. And yay for me, because I won one! Isn't this adorable? And so clever. This will get a special place in my room!



from Melanie
Melanie sent me an e-mail stating that she had once made a cute owl card and she wanted to send it to me. Owlsome! She included lots of other owl goodies in the envelope as well. Hooray!



from Joska
For my participation in the "10 things snail mail" I received this package from Joska. The deadline is long gone, but I still haven't found the time to create something for Joska. Will do asap though! (Aren't those butterflies precious? I'm not that much of a butterfly fan, but I like the materials they're made of.)



Fiew, that's it for this week! Tomorrow is my last exam and after that I have a two month holiday! Can't wait to get crafty again!

I wish you all a wonderful Sunday & talk to you soon!
