OUTGOING: August

August was a good month for snailmail. First of all, I started writing with four new penpals, which is so much fun! I love getting to know some new awesome people from across the globe (some close, some very very far away) through letter writing. Secondly: SUMMERTIME! I wrote a lot of letters outside (preferably sipping some Sauvignon Blanc, just because). Every now and then I received some curious stares from our neighbours, still not sure if those were about the amounts of washi or the amounts of white wine. And, best of all: I started blogging again. I have absolutely no idea how often I will start posting, but fact is I missed blogging and taking pictures of the beautiful letters I receive. My intention is to at least try to post a recap of incoming and outgoing mail every month, and the post you are reading right now is a good start!

Vikkie

Ok, to be honest: this one was sent on July 27th :-) My first letter to my new penpal Vikkie from Norway! I went a little crazy with the washi tape and used some nice patterned Flying Tiger paper, always a winner.

Strawberries

My new penpal Ingrid received the first letter of our abc-snailmail project: A for Aardbeien (the dutch word for strawberries). If you'd like to have a closer look, check the whole thing out here. I am looking forward to her B-themed letter already!

Friendship blanket
One of my Instagramfriends Louisette (check out her Instagram, her pictures are adorable!) is making a friendship blanket. She is collecting granny squares people send her, and I decided to join in. Such a fun and creative project! I am considering to start making a friendship blanket myself, I absolutely love the idea! If you would like to send me a granny square, please let me know!

Could not send this without a nice note obviously, so I made her a simple card as well. I am already looking forward to see Louisette's finished blanket!

What did you send last month?

Love,
Anne
