#87 Vanessa (package swap)

From: Vanessa, Belgium - December 2012

I received another letter with some really cool letter goodies which spell my name. Maybe I can make a garland of it. I'm not some kind of narcistic person, but I just really like them haha.

Vanessa, who sent me this beautiful package, included lots of other lovely things. I always love these collections of random but special things. Thanks Vanessa!

DIY: decorate your envelope

A little while ago someone asked for some inspiration on how to decorate your envelopes. Well, I hope these pictures give an idea of decorating your envelopes! I mostly use washi tape and stamps to decorate my envelopes, but in fact you can just stick everything you like on your envelope. Be creative :-)

#86 Mariza (package swap)

From: Mariza, The Netherlands - November 2012

When I came home last week, this lovely decorated envelope was waiting for me. Mariza filled it with lovely vintage paper ephermera. I love the teeny tiny monopoly money haha! And I really like the little cardboard letters, I'm definitely going to use them to personalize something (I'm not sure what, maybe my diary or I'll stick them to my wall?).

#85 Anouck

From: Anouck, The Netherlands - November 2012

Last week I received on of the first letters mailed to my dorm room. It was a lovely letter filled with handmade goodies from Anouck! All these things were wrapped but I already opened it when I took the pictures.. oops! ;-)
I absolutely love the picture on the envelope, so Anouck, if you're reading this could you tell me where it's from?

Mention in Flow Magazine

Ik vertelde het al een tijdje terug: ik was geinterviewd door Flow Magazine! En nu is het dan eindelijk zo ver,  er staan twee volle pagina's over mijn brieven project in het winterboek van Flow. Helaas klopt de tekst niet helemaal, mijn project is niet ontstaan uit briefwisselingen met vakantievriendjes (??), maar ik schreef vroeger wel veel met vrienden die ik had ontmoet op vakantie ;-). Desalniettemin ben ik ontzettend blij en trots op deze vermelding, en om dat én het 1 jarig bestaan van mijn blog te vieren komen er binnenkort leuke winacties aan!
Het winterboek is vanaf vandaag te koop voor €12,95, je kunt hem ook hier online bestellen. Voor alle nieuwe lezers die mijn blog ontdekten door Flow: welkom! Kijk eens in de archieven naar oude letters, en laat vooral van je horen. Ik ben benieuwd hoeveel mensen van Flow komen :-).

Translation: Woo! I've been featured in a Dutch magazine. Isn't that awesome?
