Outgoing [May]

Wow it's not until I do these monthly round ups that I realised how much or how little I've send. I have been very crafty this last month and have have stock piled a lot of envelopes and other bits. Maybe I will have to do a separate post as they are not technically outgoing just yet. This month I have definitely been all about the #rgpostcardproject. I keep promising to do a blog post but frankly I haven't had enough photos back to make a blog post worthwhile. Maybe I just will do a post once the whole thing is done. I did send two pay it forward mails this month, only one of which has been received I hope the other arrives safely.

Incoming [May]

Still a few postcards including a some gotochi (I have written a blog post about gotochi here) coming in at the beginning of the month and a couple of letters. Quite months like these almost make me want to look for new pen pals, but not quite yet. Oh and for the first time every I got a hand delivered loveliness from Yen Fong fellow IGer and owner of www.tabiyoshop.com . This was the first time I met a pen pal in person and I just realised we didn't take a picture. Haha oh well next time. I also did a tea towel swap with Jasmine in Australia she's still looking to swap if anyone is interested.  Anyway here is this months offerings.

Incoming [February]

Wow! February was my birthday so I received more mail that usual. Letters, postcards, parcels oh my! Birthdays are great as you received mail those friends and family that you don't usually hear from. It's nice to know you are loved and are not forgotten.

There was a strong cat theme among my birthday cards which I couldn't help but notice ^・ω・^ .  I also received my first Aerogram! Without sounding like a child it was SO SUPER COOL. But talking of being a kid I love the Tintin postcards and the Ukiyoe colouring book from my lovely pen pal Chanou, so lovely and unexpected.  I love the creativity and care of some of these letters for example Robert of Dear Sincerely with his pastels mosaic and detailed writing and Chanou thoughtful put together letter, or Emily's stamp theme.

I treated myself this month and ordered some actual books rather opting for kindle downloads and my Flow Magazine paper lovers book arrived too. I received a couple of surprised bits and pieces to too. So all in all this month has been great mail wise. I've yet to reply to most of these and have loads of Thank Yous to write.

Outgoing [October]

Yet more mail for my new pen pals and some of my old ones course. I feel like I have taken on a lot of new pen pals recently. But the first time was July and then again in September, so a 3 month gap not bad really. No more for the rest of the year! More importantly I managed to get everything out to everyone in October! Woop! I really hate writing to someone for the first time, all that awkwardness is out of the way.

I am glad to have a bit of rest, I have nothing urgently to reply to. I haven't got a picture of all my outgoing mail, due to my bad memory and occasionally crappy camera skills. I'm just glad they all out and the majority of them have been received already.
