I was thrilled when I got mine (and put it straight on instagram but never managed to blog about it)
So here it is in its new home (and on the day it came)

In the last month I've also posted off all my efforts in the latest elevated envelope project and have had some lovely envelopes (and bits and bobs) come my way too. I enclosed some fairy biscuit postcards in my similarly decorated envelopes -with some stickers and furry friends chocolate.

Disappointingly - a month after the deadline - there are still 4 or 5 missing. I think its got beyond blaming living in Tassie (the postal end of the universe) - some people obviously just never get around to fulfilling the promises they make.
I've also joined Post crossing. I kept reading about it and thought I'd give it a whirl. I've sent about 8 cards and got my first one back today. Real mail, even from a stranger, still gives me a little thrill. It was a pretty flower too - how appropriate.

I've been trying to fulfill my promise to myself to write more to the people I know too. I've sent some cards and funny envelopes. I've also got a big missive on the go to a friend in Hong Kong who's been feeling the same lack of connection that I have (in our 20+ year friendship) - we've decided to write more - about the mundane, the everyday, the special and see how it goes. It feels like having a penpal all over again. Its exciting.
