Have a Merry Christmas! 2013

Be greeted by this green pig from Angry Birds! This card is an official card, sent by a lady from Finland. She has put the Christmas Finnish stamp in it too :D

This card was sent by a Korean, who also studied in the Philippines two years ago.

This is the Christmas card sent by our mother in Australia. It also has a Christmas stamp on the envelope.

This was sent by Ms. Annika from Sweden, for the Ugly Cards lottery.

There are no reindeer for this Santa Claus - he's arriving by boat. Local resident Ed McGinn, who owned the first service station in Cape Coral, was the first boat-going Santa, and none of the kids guessed who he was.

This lovely Christmas card was sent by Ms. Mandi from Las Vegas. She even included bookmarks in the card :D  Thank you!

 nmugirl sent a very cute Hello Kitty Christmas card!

Inside, she taped a Christmas penny, and included a bookmark and stickers :)

Thank you!

Ms. Lange sent a Stonehenge Christmas card. I really didn't thought that it was a Christmas card, until I realized that it was a folded card. 

Stonehenge - Winter Sunset

This was sent by Mooshi the cat :)

Thank you so much for this adorable letter, and the Christmas tags!

They really made me happy!

Here's my Christmas Homework.. I really wanted to share it with you guys :

A lost card, Jetoy, and Justin Bieber :D

Good morning!

So today, I got three postcards. I also got last week's mail (which were my first mail that I received for the year 2013.)

Let me share them to you first...

JANUARY 8, 2013 - Tuesday
I got flamingold's card from the Chain RR... but not decided to have it scanned. Later on, if she posts a picture of it, I will.

Good news is that, I got my Chain Card (Group 312), and here it is *gasps*

This card travelled to Singapore, Belgium, Taiwan, China, and Japan... from August 9, 2012 to January 8, 2013. Isn't that neat? I also have a picture of this card before it was filled.

It was like this:

JANUARY 9, 2013 - Thursday

From my beloved Ate Micah :) I am currently walking her papers so that she can have her TOR. She sent me that General Clearance which was needed badly with a signature.

JANUARY 10, 2013 - Friday

toastiecallie surprised me in the mail! I got this neat Pucca card from her :) 

and I cannot just resist how she's so creative with the back side :)

There's also this postcard that my mom sent when she was in Thailand (oh how I love their PAHD THAI!)

all this time, my mom thought that the one where she wrote the address was the front side. She didn't know that she could design this part. 

And for today, JANUARY 17, 2013...

I got this LOST CARD. There's no Barbie in our residence. And I'm sure there's no street in my place. But then my father advised that it was Amugis. Two letters were switched. This is not my first time to return a card like this. Probably the third time.

New Jetoy, from "another wishlist tag" sent by wakka

and Justin Bieber! Got this from a lottery hosted by 9teen87

Isn't that cool?!

Thank you n^^n

Last Mail for 2011

I haven't been updating here in this blog... mostly because of the scanner hasn't been working, but now it works!
              YAY!!

Before showing you guys the last piece of mail I got, here are some random mail I got from my stash that I would like to share.

'Nobody could call Mr. Tod "nice". He was of a
wandering habit and he had foxy whiskers.'

                                               From THE TALE OF MR. TOD by Beatrix Potter

Got this postcard from a private swap from 

The next card is one of the most unique postcards that I have received! And it's all thanks to Treksek and her lottery.

and here's the message behind...

This postcard came all the way from 

Eesti/Estonia

Green is the Color of the Postcard I have received from a Swap from Canada.

and here's a Favorite of Mine from France

Nouvelles Images, and was favorited 63 times.

Thanks to Mme Annick for sending this card to me! Oh you don't know how you made my day :)

I wasn't able to keep track of my favorite postcards, and thus, I think, I'm going to restart for 2012 about the favorites part.

I'll be cleaning that up.

And of course, one of the most nicest thing I have received is a Christmas Card on December 23, sent by Kuya Joe Blaza

Sent on the 19th and Received on 23rd... He's just in another city, a ride away from my place. That took 4 days to travel.

THE LAST PIECE OF MAIL

Most likely, it's a penpal letter from Poland.

I wonder who's it from?

Hoping I would get a new friend :)                                      

Have a Fantastic 2012, dear Reader! 

Bread, Winnie the Pooh, Maxi Card, SUPERDOME,Target, Hong Kong, Cantabria, Salvador, Owl, Handmade, and Bible

Lately, I have been really busy at school.. and thus, this blog has not been that maintained just like what I used to do during the summer.

I will be cutting back on doing swaps to save money for a DSLR (which is a requirement for my course). However, I will do my best to at least update once a week.
