A Posty Post

Yay it's been a good mail week this week. Some nice surprises! I hope you have all had a good one.
It's been mega hot also, I can feel summer coming to punch me in the face very soon! I really have no idea why I was longing for the heat for so long... clearly Europe made me think that we have mild nice bearable summers here is Aus - I was LYING TO MYSELF!

Parcel from Julie returning my B&W Photo Journal. It was her swap, but most people went a bit AWOL, so she sent it back to me so it wouldn't get lost... I'll post up the wicked cool photos it contains next.

FAIL! and some post

Ok so I failed at my mission. It has been about 3 weeks since I added to my creative journal. sadface. Uni essays and then being away from it for too long contributed, but I think the main factor was my laziness.
But anyway, now I am working, uni is over (my first of 5 semesters YAY), and it's been way too long since I did a mail post. Lots has been arriving, and I forgot (a lot) to photo everything I sent out, but there are a few things. My Postcrossing lag has caught up with me, so I sent out a bunch of cards today.
Ch-ch-check it!

Postcrossing from Similka in Finland


Paranormal Mail Art from Eduardo in Portugal

Postcrossing from V in Finland. Apparently you are supposed to jump out of the sauna and into a hole in the ice to dunk in the freezing water! CRAZINESS!!!

Letter Writers Alliance first letter from Tanya in Florida

Postcrossing from Saskia in the Netherlands

Letter Writers Alliance Letter from Layne in Portland which contained a wicked little map! (I put it in my journal for Uni because it was of all the places he had lived, similar kind of personal maps that Guy Debord did with the situationalistis in Paris in the olden days)

A letter from Dharshan in Armidale NSW. He's coming home soon YAY!!

Postcrossing from Sandra in Germany, she went to Hamburg for a postcrossing meet up which sounded so cool!

Sendsomething.net postcard from Lauren. I LOVE FLAMINGOS!! this is a super cool card so I have to hunt her down and send her something equally awesome back :)

Postcrossing from Kai in Singapore.... now I'm super hungry for chicken rice, satay, ice katchang, and bread bread! it's so not fair!

Postcrossing from China, my partner sent me a picture of Tibet, she said it was the most peaceful place in the world. I don't know about that (from a political point of view) but I suppose it's just a matter of perspective.

Postcrossing from Tome in Japan.

Just today I received a lovely comment on my blog about my creative project journal from a lovely lady and I have been resolved to ressurect it! so thank you Felicity Lingle I suppose this blogging stuff really does keep you honest about things hey!

Some of the funky bits falling through my mailbox in the last few weeks:


Wonderwoman Aerogram From Carrie discussing the strangeness of internet communication... I share her sentiments exactly!


Mail Art Swap


Ist Airmail envie ever!! lame thing to be excited about but it was super cool :)


Notepads/envies I had ordered off Etsy



Letter Writers Alliance Membership arrived! and WOW a badge (my other rad obsession/ collection)



Stamp swap on Swapbot from the lovely tsireldi. Another cool Aerogram - I think I'm gonna have a go at making a couple of these they are pretty cool, but how are you meant to open them?


Postcrossing (Finland)


Postcrossing (USA)


My friend Amberley is moving house in Melbourne, so she returned all of the Hindi movies I have let her borrow... and a few of her own for me to check out and hold on to while she changes abodes. So no kidding 5 big yellow parcels arrived on my doorstep last week - lucky for her she works for the ABC and just uses their postage paid envelopes the sneaky bugger otherwise it would have cost a fortune!


Postcrossing - China


Penpals with a postcard twist swap #3 - I love this swap and have a done it a couple of times now... I just could not let go of this Avant card advertising a vintage Eames furniture shop.. I'll keep it to remind me of the beautiful furniture I will never be able to afford!
