Mostly Outgoings.

Oops! It seems I inadvertently digged my pen pal readers in the ribs with my comment about letters yesterday. I didn't mean for that to happen, I was just voicing my longing (although, if I say I'm longing for a million pounds, does that mean they will magically find their way through my letterbox??)

Something I didn't post about yesterday was my tea book, I received my very own tea book yesterday from the lovely Stacy, who was very sellotape happy and it meant I was like an impatient child on christmas morning desperately trying to get inside the most interesting looking and well wrapped present in the pile. I wasn't disappointed, it was full of beautiful smelling teas, which I have yet to try because I'm still ill and don't want to miss any of their flavour. She also put a little note into each pocket, including a hand crafted brain teaser! I was also gifted a tiny little handprinted kawaii note book and a pack of chewing gum - I love trying chewing gum from different countries, you get all these strange flavours and different textures, YUM! Basically I was spoiled. Yup, well and truly spoiled.

Here are a couple of pics:

The outside of the tea book (it had loads of sanrio :D )
and the tiny little notebook Stacy made for me.


Here is an overview of all the tea and little notes inside the tea book!

And as if that wasn't enough... I had the most AMAZING mail day to date today. Seriously... but more on that later.

Here are my outgoings for the day:

I'd been waiting an age for the bits to arrive for this and now
it's sent! A sushi themed matchbox swap. I'll post more on this
in detail on the weekend.


A Cookie themed matchbox filled with my favourite cookie recipe.
Again, I'll post in detail about that in a couple of days.


For the Huh? Postie swap going to the US.
We had to send a postcard that we just didn't get, no matter how
long we stared at it... it just makes you go 'Huh?'


My second 'Huh?' postie. I realised when I wrote on this that I've
actually had it for 10 YEARS!!! I'm so glad I got to post it :)


This is a post crossing card going to Poland. I wrote a little bit of
Tower of London lore on the back :)


A postcrossing card going to Germany.


A postcrossing card going to Alaska!


A reply to my postie from Indonesia


And finally a small gift to a lady in the states I've never met before.
There was a request for nice post to be sent by a friend of hers via
swap bot. The lady in question was recently diagnosed with cancer
and is currently undergoing chemotherapy, so I was happy to send
her these bits, even though those pics are some of my favourites.

So... *phew* that was my outgoings for the day. My incomings get their very own post because they were so fab. Plus, I don't want to dull your senses with too many pictures at once!
