Hello! Sorry for a long time without post :( My school has started and I am having a new part time job. Those activities left me pretty exhausted these past two weeks. But anyway I will try my harder to keep writing here regularly *promise*!
And this is my January mails recapitulation ;)
1. INCOMINGS
 |
| From Jane in Singapore (Penpal) |
Jane sent me a beautifully written letter in 2 languages (Japanese and English) since she is fluent in both (and Chinese too in addition!). Her Japanese handwriting is really pretty (with a vibe of Chinese alphabet too), it is small and tidy and full of personality! I am working on replying her mail soon!

| From Mimi in Slovakia (Tea Swap) |
This tea package consists of 3 teabags (which I already try them all). The one with honey was my favorite! Mimi's handwriting reminds me of my Slovakian sister's (is it typical Slovakian's handwriting?). I enjoy her sweet incoming, and I hope we can swap again sometimes in the future.

| From Emma in Sweden (Tea Swap) |
Emma sent me extra teabags and I was really happy. The apple and tranbar tea was super delish! I hope I can have some more :3 I still have the Tazo tea and the cholesterol tea, and thinking about the right timing to try it.

| From Hatsue in Japan (Penpal) |
When I first saw her package in my mailbox I was like... Wow! When I unwrapped her package it was even more that wow, I was petrified! She sent me masking tapes (those are my very first masking tapes ever!), gotochi postcard (also my very first gotochi postcard collection), flowery patterned origami papers, yummy instant coffee, and rilakuma goodies; of course I can't ask for more! Hatsue-san wrote me in Japanese (it helps me improve my Japanese a lot!), and I can't wait to send her my reply!

| From Roxy in Czech Republic (Tea Swap) |
Another tea swap package came from Czech Republic. I am really into tea swap recently and Roxy sent me these 4 tea bags (which I think it is mostly germany teas?). Roxy's handwriting is very neat and pretty, I love how she wrote my name on the envelope!

 |
| From Piia in Finland (Tea Swap) |
It's Moomin teas! Oh my God I love it so much~ I tried two of 'em already; and the blueberry muffin tea was ah-may-zing!! It smells sweet like muffin but taste like blueberry, I was in love with this tea! I have no heart to rip the package and using an x-acto knife to make a very smooth opening. I was thinking to put all the tea bags I received in an album somehow :D
2. OUTGOINGS
 |
| For Kelly in Taiwan (Tea Swap) |
I sent this horsey themed tea package to Kelly in Taiwan. I really love this horse wrapping paper and decide to make this envelope. I haven't got any info is this package alread arrived safely in her house or not; but I hope I'll know it soon :)
*****
 |
| For Minju in Korea (penpal) |
As I mention before in my previous post (
click here to read) I decided to write to one of my very first penpal, Minju. We've met before and became a really good friend, she knows how I love Hello Kitty and I decided to write her a Hello Kitty themed letter. She messaged me through facebook said that my mail reached her already and she is already working on her reply. I can't wait to catch up with her letter!
*****
 |
| For Eaman in England (penpal) |
Eaman is my book-in-crime friend. Just like me, she is a voracious reader and reading is part of our life. We talked a lot in whatsapp, and decided to try penpaling (she was really new with penpalling thingy, and I guess she is pretty excited). She received my letter few days ago and I just can't wait for her reply ;)

 |
| To Mimi (in Slovakia) and Piia (in Finland) - Tea Swap |
As you saw in the incomings section, Mimi and Piia sent me tea packages. So, these are my packages for them. I used modern calligraphy (I wasn't really good at it but I love to do it!) to wrote their names and address. Both were arrived safely at their house.

 |
| For Amber (in Hong Kong) and Kasia (in Poland) - Tea Swap |
Here are the last outgoing batch of January. I sent 2 packages of teabags to Hong Kong and Poland. I used outdates Indonesian president campaign print ads as envelopes and those turn out pretty nice. I can't wait for these two lovelies to arrive at the destinations!

Those are my incomings and outgoings for January. I hope I can consistently writing (and receiving :p) mails in the upcoming months!
Ciao!
