January

Not much happened in January. My mailbox is empty and sad. But I got new stamps:)

Now I just need letters to have where to stick them!

It was my Birthday in January. From my dad I got a scanner+printer+xero. I will be able to scan my letters before sending them now. I'm so glad because so many of my letters got lost last year. I had to write them all from beginning. Which is fine for me but not if it happens again and again. I started to get frustrated and wished for scanner so I would just re-send same letter. What do you do when your letters get lost? Do you have copies of them somewhere or you write totally new one?

My friends brought me these envelopes from their trip to Berlin. Nice, huh?:)

I started this project from new year. I saw it in Bubbles blog (who saw it in someone else's blog I think:P). Anyway, I thought it would be perfect thing to do for me. Last year wasn't very good to me and January seemed no better. I write down all good things that happen to me and put them in this jar. It turns out it's getting filled so maybe January wasn't really that bad:) In the end of the year I will open it and read all the happy sheets of paper from the inside and even if (though I hope otherwise:)) I will think my year was bad, I will know there was some happiness in it too:)

Christmas tree and mail

Uff, I'm stuffed with food. I ate too much for those two days! But how can you resist while there's so much good food around? How's your Christams going?:)

This is my Christmas tree. I love the scent of the tree in the house in Christmas time^^

 

My favourite decorations. Little angels:D

These I gave to my mum and aunt for Christmas. Inside were tickets to theatre. It was a surprise, they didn't expect it at all and were very happy^^ When my aunt saw the envelope she thought it's from the kids and contains some handmade card:P

This is what I made for mail art + mini letter exchange last month. I made the envelope of materials from the Warsaw Uprising museum and a lacy heart I once got from Maria Laura. I put inside a postcard (also from that museum) showing marriage during the uprising (of which I unfortunatelly forgot to take photo) so I made war + love theme. 

 Christmas envelope. I took a white envelope and glued a Christmas themed table napkin to it, added some deco tape on the edges. It was an experiment but the texture of the envelope turned out very nice. Easy way to make colorful envelopes if you don't have better idea or materials to decorate it;)

Unfortunatelly I didn't manage to send Christmas cards to everyone I wanted to before Christmas:( I am so scatterbrained, do everything too late. I barely managed to find a gift for my dad before holidays. Did you manage sending all your Christmas mail? Am I the only bad one?

Little pleasures Monday

 It wasn't any special day, just a normal Monday but I have a new bath. The old one was leaking so I never used it. I was just always taking shower and it's been years since I actually took a bath. So it is real attraction for me now! You can't imagine how big! And then those wasabi peanuts. When I first tried one, I spilled it out. It seemed so awful. But then I ate some more and I started to love them. Me, who never liked spicy food. Those two little things made my day today and I thought of all little pleasures on a such a non-special day, the worst day of a week actually, Monday...

1. a long bubble bath
2. wasabi peanuts
3. a Vietnamese film (The Scent of Green Papaya)
4. a bowl of spinach
5. two chapters of Lolita (read in a bath)

 What little pleasures did you have today?

This one never reached it's destination. Not that I want to spoil a positive post:P I just won't make a separate post for this lonely envelope.

La Dolce Vita

I finally used my cupcake stamps... I smeared the black ink a little:/ This one went inside bigger envelope so no address and stamps on it.

Valentine envelopes

Comic envelope

One day I found some comics in a closet. I was reading those when I was a kid regularly. Now when I foud them I thought they'd be good to decorate an envelope:)

Halloween card

For my American penpal =)

Get wild #2

Sent long time ago so no surprises for my penpals... for my blog readers maybe no surprise either as I have already posted photos of some of mine "wild envelopes"... so nothing new, ol' boring stuff:P

Canada envelope

For my Canada loving penpal =)

A giveaway

I had some time, no letters to write and in effect I painted  quite a few envelopes. I haven't been blogging a whole month and it's been my 'blog anniversary' in the meantime so I thought I'll make a little givaway:) If you'd like to get the envelopes just follow me and write in a comment that you WANT them, not just if you like them or not because then I won't know if to include you in a 'lottery'. The deadline is 10th October, I'll prepare lots with your names then and draw one. I hope someone will find them nice enough, haha. And good luck:)

Ayo envelopes

A giveaway

Well, I had a free day today so I made some envelopes. As you can see in the photo there are three of them, I painted them with paints. And I am so good that I'll give them away for free;) You just have to follow me and make a comment if you'd like to get them till 6th May (that is Friday next week). After that time I'll select a winner:)
