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.

Just A Really Good Mail Day!
I woke up to my Amazon package of postcards and this book I got as an assist to help me improve the quality of my zines and other alternative, indie publications. . .
But then, later this afternoon, this anticipated letter from an Australian penpal arrived (like 10-minutes ago).
Just thought I'd share that here before going to chill with my Aussie pal!
The other cool thing about the mail today is that my daughter got 2 netflix movies today that she ordered as surprises for me, and I don't get to know what they are until they show up on the screen (she likes to see me the look on my face when I am happily surprised). Little minx even hid my Aussie letter just now, when she brought up the mail; she slid it into some junkmail. I didn't notice it and set it aside so she had to redirect me to it - and then giggled delightedly at my surprise!

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!
