Well, my list today includes the following:

The maintenance type stuff yada yada, not all is on there the list would be never ending.

Laundry
Dishes
Teaching (this one is a must can’t even think of skipping this one)

Then there is the stuff that I have given myself the next few weeks to do such as:

De-cluttering my bathroom
De-cluttering my Room

These are the big ones for now more to come I am sure later. Don’t want to make the list to long as it might overwhelm me.

What are some of your plans for de-cluttering?

Pen Friend Musings – The lost friend

Long Lost Pen Pal (Photo credit: andreasnilsson1976)

As I was looking through my box of past letters I notice something. A few good pals have not replied back to my last letter, some as far back as 6 months.

Their lives may have gotten busy or life happened and they have not gotten back to responding. I tend to hold on to these letters for quite a while and I am not sure why. I think I hope that once life settles down they will again pick up pen and paper and write about what has being going on in their life. I don’t mind waiting for a reply if I have a feeling if in the slightest that it is coming. Maybe a quick email or post card saying

Hey a letter will be on it’s way as soon as I get things in order or something.

but no all I hear is silence. Well I will never know or have an answer to this question but.. Why do good pen friends go missing?

The World May Never Know

What Drives Me Batty About A Pen Friend

Went to the mailbox the other day to see if I had any mail waiting. I was so glad to see two letters and pull them out and immediately my smile turned to a smirk. Warning a dose of sarcasm coming at you, you have been warned.

What could I have seen in this mailbox that gave me a look of oh poop not again well it’s

a tiny letter. It was so small when I opened the envelope I had a hard time finding the darn letter. It gripes me to no end that someone month after month can take the time and effort to write down 5 lines on a sheet of tiny note paper. On top of that they have to pay postage to send such letter on it’s way. Come on people put a little effort in it and write a regular letter. It really isn’t that difficult and I know you can do it.

See like this nice example I found on the net, it doesn’t even have to be on fancy paper, or typed. As long as I can read it and it’s a letter with content all else can be over looked.

Fortunately, I get only like two or so of these a month so that I am thankful for. Ok I will get off my soap box now, back to regular posting.

So Thankful For Your Letters – Mail Call

This is a sample of this weeks mail that came in and went out for pen friends.

Some mail art fun

This is one that went out, isn’t it pretty. I think I did a good job on it

I went a little crazy with the markers haha

I just love these froggies, so cute

This is one that I received, such a pretty handmade envelope from Kristy Oliver.

Some more handmade envelopes were inside for me to use, yay I love these

I just adore cupcakes and these are my newest cupcake theme stationery

And because I was out of address labels I created this pretty labels for Spring

My new log book, because my other one was old and bulky. Now New colorful, and Streamlined Book

My desk as it looks at the end of this week, it doesn’t always look this organized. When I am in the middle of writing it is a huge mess. This is a toned down version of my desk.

Well that is all for this week of Mail Call, see you again next week. If you have a blog and post your photos please share a link as I would love to take a peek.
