Back on the Letter Train

Lettermo has been neglected the past few days and I have some catching up to do...

My growing pile

Letter Number 8 for Lettermo - Hello Spain!

Officially, this is letter number 8! Yup, I'm ahead! But only because I know that I have a busy week and a half coming up soon and I don't want to fall behind. Better to post out more than i need than not enough, yes?

3. Mum (Australia)

So as you can see, I have a mixed bag of locations happening.

Claudia, keep an eye out for your Queen of Hearts envelope in the mail!

A cool envelope, a kitty letter and a treat for Claudia

Awesome Envelopes

Another visit to the Op Shop today, and I came home armed with a couple of used fairytale books.  Proceeding to rip out the pages and trim them, I then maade some more awesome envelopes to send out as part of Letter Month.

Going out to Sara in the States

Cup of tea and Field Mice

Queen of Hearts and The Owl and the Pussycat

A Castle and Cinderella

Red Riding Hood

The first one looks so evil!

Awww

Snow White

Still got some Animalia ones to make too. So if you see an awesome envelope in your mailbox this month, you know it's probably from me!

And the Fun has Begun! (Lettermo)

It's the first of February, which means I can get my month of writing letters underway! I was a bit worried I might not be able to do this, but as the rules say, I can actually write a bunch at the one time rather than doing one every day. 
So for example, on the weekend you might write up several letters and get them posted instead of doing one on Monday, one on Tuesday etc.

And so with that in mind, I send off my first handful tomorrow!

Ready to Post

I've printed up some little notes to go inside some of the envelopes too...

A little info about Lettermo

And here is one going off to Anni Sirkkala...with a little treat inside!

Ovaltines on their way to Anni

I'm fairly sure that Ovaltine's are Australian. So those in other countries won't have tried them before.  I'll probably send off a little treat or item of some description in each letter. Just to make it a little more exciting.  I've also put inside all my contact details, just in case they want to write back ;)

Happy writing!

LetterMo - Gearing Up

I must admit that I have been 'putting off' writing some letters until we tip across into February so they can be a part of LetterMo. Is that terrible?!!

So last week was a fairly boring letter week for me. Instead of prepared some awesome envelopes to use and got some writing paper together along with some new coloured pens (what an excuse to buy more pens that I totally don't need!)

My drawer of pens. More inside the pencils cases.

Must must must buy some more stamps

Running out!

Washi Tape on Gifts

I saw this done on a photo a while back and since I have a couple of birthdays coming up, wanted to do the same on mine!  Using washi tape instead of ribbon, you make the gift look like a tradition wrapped present. Very cute!

Lions and a Mystery Envelope

Happy Mail going out today for Sara in WA!
I hope she likes the envelope I made from Animalia, the Childrens Book...

Today I got this in the mailbox.
This is actually a letter I posted to a penpal Stephanie a few days ago.
I was amazed that I had forgotten to put her address on the front, yet remembered to put mine on the back when in the sunlight, I caught sight of what lookedl ike invisible writing on the envelope....her address!
Walking back into the house, I was mystified and wondered what pen I had used. Then recalled I had purchased an ERASABLE PEN the other day.  I had used that to write her address, and the friction of the envelope against others in the mailbox must have rubbed it all off.
AMAZING!!
I just hope I hadn't sent anything else out with that pen on it.

So Stephanie, I'll send you this inside another envelope so you can have a laugh.

Hairrrrrrrrrr

Doing this because another blogger did. I suppose there isn't that much variation in what I've had but still. Help?  I've been growing my hair for about a year. It takes FOREVER.   When I have it long, i juts put it up in a ponytail (as below). I don't really DO anything with it, let alone bloody brush it unless I'm going to straighten it. 
So. Should I keep it longish? Should I grow it longer? Should I chop it shorter? If so, how much?
above the shoulder? Just below the chin? Above the chin?

Note, I HATE having hair on my face. I LIKE the look of a fringe but I can't deal with it.
Ok here we go....

Me always with my hair tied back in a ponytail

So as of today, it's about this long. Perhaps a little longer

Yup. A little longer than this right now.

This is about shoulder length here.

Just above the shoulders I guess. Darker in colour.

And here we are sorta back to being just below the chin.

HEre I am, with it a little short still

And this is me with it the shortest bob I've had

I've had very short hair before. But I'm chubby, so it doesn't look SO GREAT.
Oh, in the last picture, you need to add a few kgs onto what I look like now, keep that in mind when you're telling me which hair length suits me the best.

Comment here, or back on my lj.
