I'm back to my blog after a long hiatus :) been super busy lately :o here's a look at some (definitely not all xD) swaps and letters I've received since I've last updated my blog. I've also sent a lot out but it's way too much to recall specific letters! Haha.

I also made these Rocky Horror Picture Show drawing ATC's for someone based on a drawing I found.

I also made this friendship book :)

Thank you for reading and have a great day, readers! :)

No letters or swaps received today! Bummer! :(

Four letters and a package were sent. My Bible Notes Swap was mailed out. It was for a swap I hosted where you send one partner a bulletin/program from your church and notes you took during service. I sent my partner bulletins from two churches I attend, a page or two of notes and some stickers! I was blessed to receive Zoebolt, also named Karen :), as my partner for the third time since May. It's always fun to send to her! 

I mailed my letter for a "letter and flat surprise" swap, hosted by Zoebolt. I didn't have her as a partner this time though, but it's okay! :) I sent my partner a nice 3 page letter and some cool stickers! :) I also mailed a  package to a swap pal in Utah, who I'm doing a private swap with. I mailed her all of the handmade paper crafts I've been making this week-bookmarks, ATC's, postcards, and a notecard.

I mailed a reply to Karen, my long time pen pal, and also my God's Grace ATC for a group swap. I had fun making it! :) I hope my partner enjoys it! She likes Winnie the Pooh so I mailed her a letter too with this doodle at the bottom! :) I hope to make her day! :) 

Have a great day, readers! Thank you!

Swaps Received & Sent (7-2-13)

The first swap I received on this lovely Tuesday morning was from TC for one of the "make someone's day for 46 cents" swaps. She sent three sheets of stickers! :) They're too cute! :) 

I received a wonderful letter from my long term pen pal, Karen. She's from France! :)

I also received a lanyard from my college. I was expecting it to be my roommate letter, telling me who my roommate is but I guess this is pretty cool too! ;)

I drew this cute Pooh today on a letter for a swapper who enjoys him! :) I had fun drawing him! I really miss watching Winnie the Pooh! :( 

Hope everyone has had a great day!

Life Stories: (7-1-13) Camp Multiply

I was blessed with the opportunity to attend Camp Multiply at my church this past week! :) It was a great opportunity to bond with others, as well as grow closer to God! We had wonderful services each morning and night, as well as many fun activities throughout the day! 

One of those activities was canoeing. That's me in the front! This was the second time I've been in a canoe. They instructed us that the person in the back has to steer the canoe and the one in front has to give directions- which gave me the perfect opportunity to act like a GPS! "When possible, make a legal u-turn!" ;)

We had plenty of time to spend with Pastor Eric and his wife! They came up from North Carolina to speak and hang out with all of us! Members of their church drove up to surprise them on their last day here! It was so awesome of them to do that! They were so happy! You should've seen their reaction! :)

The leader singer of Project 86, Andrew Schwab, came to speak at our service. I got to personally meet him! :) This is a photo of us.

I spent a lot of time working in the sound booth with my friends and boyfriend!

My job was to run the lyrics during worship time. :)

Another fun activity was water games including a water version of Duck Duck Goose where instead of tagging a person, you dump a small bucket of water on them! It was a fun way for everyone to cool down! 

What are your summer plans? How are you staying cool this summer? Thanks for reading! :)

Craft of the Day (7-1-13) Recycled Envies

I got inspired by the envelope in Joy's package and decided to make my own. These are super interesting and very easy to make. Simply cut a piece of a brochure, travel guide, or magazine, fold it into an envelope shape and add some glue to the sides to hold it in place. :) Simple and fun! 

I also crafted some cute handmade bookmarks for a swap partner! Simply cut out a nice photo from a magazine and glue to a strip of card stock. You can even use a map of where you live or a place you love! Then, punch a hole through the top and tie a ribbon through it. Now, you can decorate it with embellishments, glitter, or whatever you'd like! Perfect flat present to send by snail mail! :)

Happy crafting & have an excellent day!

Japanese Goodies :)

My Tumblr friend, minib0ss, recently went to Japan and hosted a giveaway on her blog! I ended up being one of the winners!  I received her package today of cool goodies: a card with a thoughtful handwritten note inside (made my day!), 6 different Japanese hard candies, an adorable keychain, and a few sheets of super cute Pokemon stationary from the Pokemon Center in Japan! :) 

This piece of candy was cola flavored! All of the Japanese candy wrappers were too cute! :)

Another piece of candy. I believe this one was blue raspberry flavored. :)

An adorable keychain! :) Too cute! :)

The paper from the Pokemon Center! It's toooooooo cute! I'm always looking for cute Pokemon stuff but this is totally awesome! :) Made my day!

A big thank you to my pal, minib0ss, for the super cool package, and thank YOU for reading! ;)

Swaps Received & Sent (7-1-13)

Today I received some great goodies in my mailbox :)

First off, a swap friend, Joy, sent me a random act of kindness package after I send her a message and scripture of encouragement. :) The package contained three mini bunny envelopes with paper, a handmade envelope with flower stickers inside, 4 single stickers and a mini heart set of stickers, a butterfly ATC with a handmade envelope, a teabag of chai green tea scripture tea(which was totally delicious!), and a Vermont postcard for my collection. This is my first postcard from Vermont! :) Joy's items came inside of the cute pink envelope featuring bunnies like the mini envelopes. :) She also put a walrus and frog sticker on the front which totally made my day since those are two of my favorite animals. :) 

Joy's note was written inside of this card. She wrote a very sweet and encouraging note and included a great scripture! :) I was very happy to find this in my mail.

I also received a swap: one of the "make someone's day for 46 cents" swaps I participated in. She wrote a cute note and included an air freshener and two eagle themed blank business cards. Her stationary was so pretty too. I loved it! :) 

 

I received another of my recent swaps today too! This was for a Scripture postcard or greeting card. :) My partner, Kendra, created this beautiful pink postcard for me with Romans 15:13, a very encouraging scripture, and some cute butterflies. I really loved it! :)

Today I mailed 4 items. 

I mailed my letters for the new "make someone's day for 46 cents" swap. To one partner I sent a letter and a teabag of delicious chai tea (Good Earth: my favorite kind) to drink while she reads it! :) To the other, I sent a letter and some cute Hello Kitty stickers! :)

I also mailed a card and some cute animal stickers to a 7 year old girl in Georgia currently suffering from cancer. She needs all the encouragement she can get. Swap bot swappers: if you'd like  to send her something look up the "make maddie smile" swap. The address is in the comments! :)

The final item I mailed today was an Outer Banks postcard. This is for a postcard swap I'm doing with a swapper from Oklahoma. She wanted me to send a postcard addressed to her daughter since it's almost her 7th birthday and she loves to receive mail. What a great mommy! :) 

Thanks for reading, :)
