Outgoing - two postcards and a short letter

Three outgoings of the past days - two postcards (to India and the US) and a short letter to my dearest cousin.

I just bought the notecards I used for her letter yesterday - love them!

I hope you are all doing good and are looking forward to a fantastic weekend - over here we're supposed to get more than 30°C, so that's great!

Alles Liebe,
Caddi

Malaysian air mail labels

I got this lovely envelope last week for a swap on swap-bot - I already loved how it looked on the outside! An envelope decorated with tape, various stamps and a clear postage mark, a pretty airmail label and my address written in a fancy way? My mailbox was happy!

Inside the sender included nice words on a very cute notecard, the airmail labels the swap called for (I love these so much! I'm going to have a hard time using them I think - aren't they amazing?) as well as some used stamps and washi tape samples for me to enjoy!

Some swappers on swap-bot really do send amazing mail :)
Have a fantastic September everybody!

A Productive Weekend! - Also: Stats of the Month - June 2013

 Well, mailwise at least... :)

 I sent one postcard to an old family friend who will have surgery in a week,

 another postcard to my goddaughter (I had already sent her mother a letter on Thursday - of course I don't have a picture of that one...)

 A letter to Michelle in Idadho,

 Oh, here are the stamps I used so far :) I really really like the one with the elk and the lighthouse one is great as always.

 A postcard to a friend, I haven't heard from her in a bit so I basically said hi and asked her to call me.

 A letter to Yana in Utah

 and a letter to a penpal here in Germany,

and lastly, a letter to Yanill in Florida - I will send that one out on Tuesday, as soon as partners are assigned in a swap-bot swap.

How have you been this weekend? Have you been productive?

Oh, and also, it's the end of June! So here are my stats of this month! :)

I finally received more mail again! I had 22 incoming letters, 3 incoming postcards and 2 incoming packages - yay! I haven't been to my PO-Box since Thursday, so I might even have gotten more :)

I sent out 24 letters and 9 postcards (counting the ones I finished this weekend) as well as 3 packages.

I spent a total of 26,33 € on postage, so on average 0,73 € per mailed item.

How much mail did you receive and send this month?

Oh, and one last thing: I bet you have already read elsewhere about this whole bloglovin' thing? Good, then I don't have to write this down here...

All the best for you!

Some mail

Dear readers,
well, that didn't go too well with the challenge - I already had photographed so many stamps, but then never got around to prepare the posts to go online. Anyway! I wanted to show you guys some of the mail I got in the last days, as I realized I hadn't posted here in about two weeks. I just took pictures of the mail I was having close, so there might be a few letters not pictured here of course. I'm also more often writing letters on the way now and have gotten used to always carry a few stamps and envelopes, but since I usually don't carry my camera, I'm of course not able to take pictures of the mail I send.

So, have a look at some of the mail I got in the past weeks...

 A cute thank you card from Tári in France! Thank you!

 A lovely letter from Yana in the USA.

I love craft paper! This was a reply from a swap on swap-bot. I loved the stamp!

Today I got a cute letter from Penny in Brazil! We agreed to swap some priority labels :) Is there anyone else out there willing to send me some airmail / priority labels from their country in exchange for German ones? Please leave a comment or get in touch, I will get back to you :)

 A surprise package from my father, who thought of me when he saw a book and thus decided to send it to me :)

 A letter from a German penpal. Isn't the stamp great? It's the German EUROPA-one for this year. Tári also used this years EUROPA-stamp on her letter by the way :)

 A letter from Michelle. The envelope looks so cool!

 Plain envelopes sometimes contain the greatest letters - I'm always happy receiving letters from old friends!

 I got this letter for a penpal swap on swap-bot and immediately thought "I have seen this paper somewhere already!"... Later I realized I had bought sticky notes of the same design when I was in the USA last summer :)

 A long letter from one of my German penpals. We share book and washi tape addictions :)


Oh, and did I mention my boyfriend being the best? Last week I got flowers...

 ...as well as a small surprise gift because I'm having a hard time at university currently. Love him!

Well, that's all from me for now.

Remember, I'd love to swap airmail labels with you!

All the best and take care,
Caddi

Monday's Mail

Hello dears!

I can't believe this either, but this finally is a mail-post ;-) I haven't photographed all of the mail that passed through my hands theses weeks, but I'll show you some recent outgoings... This will be a bit picture heavy :)

A letter heading out for the intro letter swap on swap-bot organized by the Postal Society.

These were a letter to Laura and some postcards - one to Italy and another one to the USA.

A postcard to my father - yes, I always send him boat-postcards somehow :)

A letter to a German penpal on stationery I had for years and Diddl sheets.

Two postcards for my godmothers - how I wish I'd be at that place by the lighthouse now!

These are a small package to Yana, a letter to Jennifer, another one to my mother for mother's day (both written on stationery designed by Fab) and a postcard to my goddaughter.

A letter for Maria in Russia, a new penpal. I hope it gets there well!

A letter heading out for a postage stamps swap on swap-bot and another letter on stationery designed by Fab going out to Lucas in the USA.

Letters going out to LR and Michelle in the USA.

A letter heading out to Jess in Australia, stamps for a tag on P.S.

And, lastly, two packages I sent out already a few weeks ago - one to my goddaughter and her mother.

I had to seal it like this :) There's a book included and the postal workers have to be able to open it.

 
And another one to my mother, who had her birthday :)

The stamp is one of my favourites ever!

That's all for now!
I had only very little incoming mail the past weeks - only three letters and one postcard so far this month! My mailbox is quite sad. I'm leaving for a trip to Berlin tomorrow and will be gone until the end of the week, so I hope I'll have some mail waiting for me when I get back :) Did you have good mail days this month?

Alles Liebe,
Caddi
