A New Batch

A few days had gone by with no new mail at all. What a drag that was! But toward the end of the week, they started to come in - so I have a batch of 5 new letters from: Tennessee, England, Finland, the Netherlands, and Australia.


My friend from the Netherlands did such a lovely job with that checkered envelope! I'll answer as many as I can before the post tomorrow. It'll be a challenge because a few of the writers in this particular batch, write really great letters that requires extra effort in the response. . .My favorite kind! :D

Outgoing

With these two outgoing, I am all caught up.



I did track down the lady who sent me mail from Indonesia and forgot to add a return address - I sent her a message online this morning requesting it.

A Couple of Envelopes

Yesterday evening, I wanted to fix up a few envelopes to start gathering up a collection again. I finished a couple of them, so far. This one...



And this one...


...The one I am still working on is a bit ambitious! Geez, I remember I used to do this kind of thing all of the time back in the 90's when I was penpalling regularly via The Letter Exchange! It's been a while!

Two More Down (and almost) Out

I got two more introductory letters written this evening. They'll go out in the afternoon mail. I was a bit lazy decorating the first envelope...

but got a bit of a burst to do something with the second one...

It was kinda funny that the piece of paper I grabbed to cover the return address for this photo was the receipt from the post office ... I just had to play with that!
