Three
weeks ago I posted my last letters and guess what? Within this three
passed weeks I received 20 new ones. Right now it is really insane.
Every time I answer some letters and post them I get the same amount of
new letters. I will never be finished with my answer pile if it goes on
like that ^^ BUT: still I love each of my penpals and I'm always happy
to receive letters of them no matter how many I have to reply to in the
end ♥ Hopefully my answer pile will be empty once soon though as some
relaxing time would be nice :D This is why I decided to post all answers
at the same time now so at leas those penpals can't write a reply while
I still have tons to answer. I know that probably everyone will be
answering at the same time again, as it usually happens, but at least
I'll have an emptier mail pile in between ;) So, tthere will be a second post tomorrow, as I had to split the post due to not enough characters at the labels section :/ But here are the first ten letters!
This
letter is from my penpal Lisa in Belgium. Usually she answers letters
really fast but due to surgery on her hand she wasn't able to write for a
while so I was really happy when I finally received a reply to my
letter in December. Not only does she always have the cutest envelopes
but she also always includes lovely letter sheets ♥
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although I really shouldn't I
still take new penpals every now and then. This is Dany from Germany
and we only became penpals in December so this is her first letter to
me. It was a short one as she finds first letters hard to write. I feel like the only one who doesn't find first letters weird by now, haha! I'm curious on her next letter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This letter came from Martine M. from the Netherlands. I'm really surprised her letters reach its destinations as she always only puts the first names of people on her envelopes. I would never do that as I would fear it won't reach the person it is meant to go to. Am I alone with this fear or does anybody else thinks so, too? Nevertheless, her letters are always lovely :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then I got the third letter of my penpal Olivia from the Netherlands. By now I've
so many penpals from there, it's crazy :D But she is such a cute person
♥ And so many of my penpals have sent me candy canes, haha. Do people
actually eat them?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next letter I like to show you is already a little older but I forgot to post it in my blog earlier. It came from Sam from Ireland. I probably can never say "No" to people from this country ♥ This is her first letter to me and she included so many goodies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And another first letter. I already wrote my first letter to Martine B. from the Netherlands a while ago but only now she had the time to answer and it really was worth the wait!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This has to be one of my favourite letters! It is the third letter of my penpal Neus from Spain and I already love this girl to pieces! The key necklace is a present for my birthday that was in December and it is soooo cute ♥ And she is an amazing photographer! I wished I was only half as good as her and I would be damn happy :D Her letters always put a big smile on my face!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FINALLY I got a letter of my lovely penpal Elena from Bulgaria. She already had send me two letters in December but none of them reached me due to the stupid Bulgarian post. It is ridiculous how many letters get lost in Bulgaria :/ The happier I was that this one finally reached me! I LOVE the stickers she included and this girl in general :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Funny story for this next letter. Since December I was always asking myself if I ever posted a reply to Jariya in Iceland but she never answered on my questions on Facebook until I suddenly had a reply from her in my mail box. So all my worries were senseless, haha! She included some lovely postcards of her hometown Reykjavik and I sooo wish I can go there sometime soon. Iceland is such a beautiful country ♥
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next first letter is from Novita from Indonesia. We became penpals through Instagram and although some people told me they made bad experiences with people from there I only get the best ♥ She has the cutest handwriting ever (sorry I can't really show it to you ;)) She used a clear envelope (I still need to get some myself and try that!) and also included some tea. Seriously, by now I have so much tea that I received from my penpals that I don't even know when I should drink all of it, haha!
Well, what can I say? My last post was only a week ago, BUT since then I received 11 letters. 11... It's hard to believe for me that all this letters reached me within only one week, but I am so happy to have my lovely pen pals in my life and although I'm a little stuck on replying to each letter right now - imagine you answer 3 letters the one day and the next day you get 3 new - but I love to make every reply special and fitting to the person who receives it ♥ So, today you'll see 11 lovely letters from 11 lovely people from all over the world! The order isn't the actual order I received the letters, they just happened to come that way when I took the pictures earlier!
AND: feel free to leave a comment so I can see that this blog is really worth the effort and people are actually reading what I'm writing ;) Should be possible for everybody by now without any problems. You have to use the left button to send me your comment (better copy your comment before sending so it doesn't get lost if anything will go wrong!)
So, let's start with the first letter I received by Maeva from France (sorry my keyboard can't put the dots above the e, I'm afraid :D) I totally love the envelope! The ghost is so damn cute *_____* And we seem to have a lot in common so I'm curious for her next letter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next one I like to show you is from Neus from Spain. Actually somewhere close to Barcelona, but it's easier to pretend she's from there directly :D It was her first letter to me as well and I love the drawings and the autumn touch she gave to the letter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On to the letter from Jariya. We've exchanged quite a few letters by now and I'm still surprised on how fast letters between our two countries travel. Good for us as she is such a sweet person and I'm always so happy when I've a new letter from her in my mailbox :) And look at this super cute panda ♥
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another first letter that reached me. Elizabeth from the USA and me only recently decided to become pen pals as she just asked me on Facebook and I can only hardly say "No", so here we are. And I don't regret my decision! We seem to have a lot in common and the paper she used is so pretty! Can't wait for her reply to my letter :) And she used watercolours to paint the envelope. This idea never occured to me before, but maybe I give it a go in the future!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next letter is from my best friend here in Germany: Vanessa. This time I have to post two pictures so you can see her amazing letter! I did some of these as well and it's always so much fun to make them as each and everyone can turn out different when one makes them to the likes of the other :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then I got an unexpected reply from Lilith from America. Her first letter had been completely about Harry Potter, but this time she was finally talking about herself as well so I could get to know her better. This time we discovered our love for Supernatural ♥ I guess we'll have a lot to talk about in our next letters :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next letter came from Anri from Japan. It was only a short one, but the paper was really cute ♥ I LOVE pandas! And now I know what "I love Ireland" in Japanese means :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And here's another first letter. From Sarah from Germany. Actually she only lives about 20-30 minutes by car away from me! Her letter was Halloween themed and I really enjoyed the monsters on the inside of the letter! Looking forward to more letters with this lovely girl!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also got the third letter from Emma from Scotland. Here letters are always something special as she has the cutest stationary ever! This time she put the envelope into a clear one and put little stars everywhere - actually, after opening it, I had the stars everywhere in my room, on my clothes and on my desk too :D I also really love the stickers she had sent me: Minnie Mouse ♥ So cute!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This post seems to contain a lot of first letters, so here is another one: Martine M. from the Netherlands (I have to put the M. for her last name as I've another Martine from the Netherlands as a pen pal ;D) She has sent me so many cute gifts and I was really speechless when I opened the envelope as I usually don't get gifts like that in a first letter. I especially love the cow! And we seem to have a lot in common, so I can't wait for more letters to be exchanged!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And last but not least I FINALLY got a reply to my letter from Alieke from the Netherlands ♥ I really waited impatiently for her reply as I already loved this girl after her first letter. I've already the feeling I've known her for ages and not only for three months. She also send me a CD of the music she is making with a friend and she is really talented! And she has sent me tea! I LOVE tea so if any of my pen pals really reads this: send me your favourite teas ;)
