Last outgoing for private 6 weeks

The last part, part 6 of the 6weeks Private Pen Pal swap has started his trip to Germany. Send wathever you like to send...  Because Manuela started making ATC's I've put a lots of craft supplies in it: flowers, buttons, eyelets, ATC sleeves, ATC cards.  ATC cards I made a few years ago. the theme was : La vie en rose.  And a little piece of Belgian chocolat :)
Can't believe this was the last part already. I had so much fun with this swap.

6 weeks Private Pen pal swap - part 5

 

I feel spoiled! For part 5 we had to send a profile based suprise for about 5 euro. I forgot to take a picture of what I'v sent :(. I told Manuela in my letter that it's hard to find writing paper here, so she was so kind to send me some. I love butterflies and tiny magnets... Really love all of this!

recieved from swap-bot and postcrossing

 

Just started my blog and I'm already getting behind with showing all the great stuff I recieve. Most of my free time is spend with the swaps I joined on Swap-bot.

 

 

I'm considering to join A month of letters 2013 challenge. It sounds like so much fun, but also a big challenge. Nowadays I write about 3 to 4 letters/postcards a week so it must be possible. Someone of you are joining? Or someone is considering?

 

 



This card was recieved from Canada- Postcrossing.

 

6 weeks private penpal swap, part 4: send 3 postcards in an enveloppe. Manuela has sent me the postcard of the camels, the castle and dominican republic.

 

I'm in a another 6 weeks snail mail swap: Europe only. I got a letter from Kathleen who lives in Sweden. She has sent me the postcard with trees as an extra. The enveloppe with the 'palace' was hers too.

 

3 bears on a Postcard was sent from The Netherlands for the Easy PC swap - senders choice. The butterfly postcard was for the same swap but came from Uk. I love this one...'cause butterflies are always wanted on my address! :)

 

I love animals so I needed to join the swap 'Animal PC' and I got this beautiful PC. The baby elephant is Lily and was born in November in the Oregon zoo.

 

 

 

What did I send last week?

I signed up for quit a lots of swaps... I think maybe I got a little bit to enthusiast... Beside all work that have to be done at home I  spend my time on the swaps ...And well, I have to say I'm also very busy with googling around to get inspired for new cards, writingpaper and all things about snailmail.

 

On the group 'Swaps for Europe *new* there was a 'Easy PC Swap-senders choice'. I like those swaps with no theme because I can use some of the cards that I already bought before. The most fun thing with swapping still is trying to find something that meets swap requirement and still fits the likes of your partner. Tha brambly hedge card went to the UK and the cats to Russia.

 Nowadays I like to be in swaps that are penpal/letterwriting related. This swap was in the group 'Penpalling Swappers'. The swap was called *Puzzle Letter*. Write a letter and then cut the paper in 15 pieces. I wrote 2 pages so I putted the pieces seperate in an enveloppe. The enveloppe for sending was drawn full with pieces of puzzles. It was mailes to USA.

Monday part 2 of the 'Six weeks Snail Mail #1 Europe' got into the mail. It has to be a greeting card were you had to write about your week. My partner likes cute stuff so when I saw this card with the giraf I definitely had to buy it for this swap. I added some teabags.

 

The multivieuwcard of Antwerp and the turtle PC were sended to 2 of my PCpenpals (Australia and USA)

 

'Advertising/Free postcard swap #5' mailed to USA.

 

A private swap with UK. She asked for postcards. I send one from Antwerp and one from Spain. The wrapped gifts are Belgian chocolat. I'm proud of our Belgian chocolat so it's always nice to send some of it to other country's.

 

One or two weeks ago I joined the group: 'Write It Out'. This was my first swap in the group. Writing a letter about the best and worst of 2012. I added some teabags. I love the enveloppe that I recieved some time ago in another swap .

 

The black and white postcard is from Postcrossing and was recieved from Finland.

How snail-mail can make your day...

Comming home from work and finding 6 things in the mailbox that aren't bills or advertisements... Well that makes my day!

The amazing card with the black and white drawing I recieved from Lotte. If you like the card, go to her website to discover more of her art.

The snowy and Djerba PC, the letter on the Diddl paper and teabags are from Sternenfee for the 'A letter, a postcard and a teabag' swap on swap-bot.

We are doing a 6 weeks private Pen Pal swap. It's really great to have Sternenfee as partner. Here you can see part 3 of the swap: she made 3 ATC for me. This was the first time for her making ATC's. She did a great job!

On the same day I got also 2 postcards from malgosya: the 2 kids PC for the International Postcard Pen Pal #2  and the PC with Santa was for the Last minute holiday card-Europe.

And than an envelope that has blown me away... really. This was for the ILPP Intro notecard swap. Introduce yourself in a notecard... and what I got from CENDING: the cute owl notecard, the hello kitty stickers, ribbon of the grinch, a cute butterfly tag and the most lovely postcard from monsters and co: finally I got one with Boo on it :))) I also loved the envelope but could'nt get it right on picture :(
