Rest In Peace

Today, I found out that my favorite Latina singer, Jenni Rivera, is dead. :( :( :( :(

I am way beyond sad, I can't even come up with words. I do not own the photo posted here, but I know many people may not know who she was. 

Jenni, you will be severely missed and surely never forgotten.

Halloween Dance

Hi everyone, today it is Friday and I am dressed up as a zombie flapper! I like the way I feel but I am a little self-conscious. I hope I have a good time because lately it has just been work and school. I have my mid-term test for French class tomorrow! I hope I do okay on it.

New tattoo

Hey guys, it's been a while. School has been really busy and I just found a job at Wal-Mart. This is the 3rd time I have worked for them It's not a great job but it's a job, right? But some people are so rude...

I got a new tattoo. Or rather, it was an old tattoo of a shooting star and I finally got it fixed after two years! Here is how it turned out.


I am busy writing letters for the next couple of days. 

Asher's birthday is in two weeks. I can't believe this. No one told me about birthdays!

Until next time,

Do any of you like to photoshop? I don't know how to do anything fancy yet but this is what I can do.





Since it's Sunday, I am working on getting caught up on letters. I received an awesome letter from my friend Katie :)
Happy writing!

Lots of mail!

Hey guys, school is keeping me busy but I have time to blog a little today :) I received a few letters and postcards in the past couple days. I received this letter from Tunisia with 2 postcards!



The Postcard is from Germany from a dear friend named Annika! And the pink envelope is from a new penpal in Norway.

And my new penpal in Norway even sent a cool postcard, which makes it my first postcard from Norway.

Here are the other pieces of mail I received.


I will be working on mail art most likely today and I need to send some letters out :)
Happy writing!

Happy Birthday To My Grandmother

Today is my grandmother's birthday. Well, technically yesterday (September 6th) was. We got her a cake and sang her happy birthday. I made this photo for her. :)


I did receive a couple letters the other day but I have been busy to post it here. But now I have some freetime since I am caught up with homework! I love the mail art done by Katie. :)

Tomorrow will be spent getting caught up on my letters! I fell behind last week because it was the first week of school! How is your day going? I would love to hear about it! And I joined swap bot. I think it's great how there is a site just for swapping :)

One more thing, I was featured on http://penpaloftheweek.com :) I just thought you might like to read what I submitted. Anyway, happy writing everyone!

First day of school

Today was my first day of school for Fall semester. I had Biology and English class. They were harmless enough but it sounds like I will be getting lots of homework in both classes. How are you guys and when do you go back to school (if you go to school)? 

I received a lot of mail today! 6 letters and a package!

Happy writing

New Mail

I received 5 letters today, one of which I don't even know how to respond to. Rather than a letter, it's more like a profile. I guess I will mull it over. But I did receive a nice postcard from Bre :)





I bought my college books yesterday. They cost 600 dollars including the ones I had to buy today. The classes I am taking are:
French
Cultural Anthropology
English 102
Tennis
Biology

School starts on Monday, which is the 27th. I am so excited to have something to do!

I'll be writing some letters today. I hope you all have a nice tuesday~

Outgoing Mail for Monday

Since tomorrow is Sunday the mail will not run. So Monday I have a few letters to send out and I have to get a package out to Julie :) Don't mind the scribbling... Asher got a pen and decided they needed decorating haha! And also he decided to dye his hair! That is another story for another time.

Here is a handmade envelope I made for my swap with Julie :)

Lots of mail today

Today I attended student orientation at my new college, College of Southern Idaho. It was interesting and I got most of the boring stuff out of the way. School starts a week from Monday! I am very excited because I will be studying French! I have always wanted to travel to Canada! And it helps with my degree as well because in addition to Spanish, I have to take another language and they only offer Japanese, Portuguese or French. I will also be taking Tennis, Biology and Sociology. 

I received a lot of mail today! First I received my Korean stickers I ordered from eBay. Its a character called Momoi. She is really popular in Korea! Next I received a letter from my new penpals Katie and Samantha. I did a swap with someone and she sent me a shot glass from St. Louis, Missouri. I have been there once and I saw the arch. It was amazing! If you haven't seen it, you should! I also received two postcards, but one of those I am not sure who it was from! One postcard from West Virginia, and the other from Indianapolis, Indiana. This is the most mail I have received in a while! But it sure was exciting. And yesterday, I received my order from Lapapierre.com. I ordered more Poe envelopes. They're my absolute favorite!

I have an addiction to stationery. I spent over $50 on stationery yesterday. But it is so worth it. I love writing on cute stationery because I am sure it puts a smile on my pals face when they read them on cute paper. 

Happy Writing!

The Post office can be a pain...

I had set up for my mail to be forwarded to my new address and they sent my old mail to my previous address. So my boyfriend (the great guy he is) he went to the post office and sent the 7 letters I have received on Saturday and Monday. 
I don't have much for you guys right now since I don't have any letters to respond to but here is a picture of my cute little boy :)

His name is Asher, He is almost 2 years old.

Package came today

I received a package today, and just in time because I am moving today! It was my order from Lapapierre.com :) And it also included a bunch of random things like the swap I am doing with Julie, some stickers, a magnet and a little note from Julie. I am so excited to use them! 




And then I went to Barnes and Noble with the boyfriend, and I picked up this Hello Kitty Journal!

New cosmetic bag, Hello Kitty style

I saw this at Wal-Mart. The purpose of going there was for a printer cable. I saw this and had to have it. It is actually a pencil case but I am going to use it as a cosmetic bag.




I got my printer set up and I printed a few stationery sets. I love it <3
Moving day is tomorrow!
Happy writing!

Outgoing mail

I have outgoing mail to my friend in Japan. Does anyone else need a letter? :)

Letter from Japan

I received a letter from my friend Naoko who lives in Fukushima, Japan. Her stationery was so cute, I had to share!




I also picked up some acryllic paint and glitter spray which I am going to use for mail art :)



And last but not least, I purchased a new camera, so no more blurry cell phone pics hahahaha! 


Happy writing!

I could be getting better at this...

I am so in love with my cardstock! I have been making envelopes and these took about 30 seconds for each envelope, they were really easy to make!





And I saw these stamps at the post office, I had to have them!

Tomorrow I am going on an adventure to find some cool rubber stamps for more mail art and I want some paints also. I am moving this weekend so things are a little hectic! I am sending a letter for Katie tomorrow <3
Happy writing ~
