Late Christmas Mail

While talking about Christmas since August is acceptable, apparently it isn't right when it's now over,
but I'm going to talk about it anyway, since last week I received some pretty awesome late Christmas mail.

My super talented friend Corey from Singapore sent me this lovely hand draw postcard, with a panda stamp if it wasn't cute enough already! How adorable ♥

Exclusive Printables Newsletter

Hello guys, 2013 has started and I'm very glad to leave 2012 behind me. I want the new year to get off to a good start and the only way to do it, is to challenge myself with a project.
One of my friends and I, once had an idea very similar to what Julie & Laura created recently, but you know how it is, life sometimes throws a spanner in the works and your dreams fall into oblivion.
As I said, I needed a trigger to feel creatively challenged this year, so I decided to brush up this old dream, reshape it, and make it more suitable to my own capacities.

/ I'm starting to blab, so let's cut to the heart of the matter:

I know you guys love printables (I do, too!), and I'm grateful for every single one of you who downloads or buy mine.
My idea for this new year, is to create a newsletter service that will deliver to you, every first day of the month, an exclusive printable letter set!
The freebies will still be up every Friday on my blog, but by subscribing to this mailing list, you'll be granted access to premium letter sets and occasional bonuses that will be exclusive to the members only :)

Think of it as a subscription to a lucky bag, you know that you'll be receiving a letter set but you don't know how it will look like, its theme, etc. Thrilling, uh?
Of course the themes will be quite generic so that there's more chances that everyone will like them (for example, you'll never find a printable about, let's say, wrestling. The themes will range from vintage to food to travels and so on).

I wrote a FAQ page (that will be updated with time) about this, so you can check it out to find out the details.
But let's do the grownups talk, how much will it cost you? Quite a bargain if you ask me:
I probably shouldn't tell you but I can't resist.. the first theme is going to be "vintage postage" and I love how the letter vset turned out, so I'm very excited to offer it first!
If I got you interested, keep reading for all the details and the how-to's  ▼

2012 letters stats!

Hi guys! Yesterday night I was catching up on some blogs, when I found Tari's post about graphs and charts to show her snail mail productivity during the year.
If you've been reading my blog since the very beginning, you may know that I used to publish a monthly pie chart to calculate how many letters I wrote/received, but for some reason (well, not some reason, mostly because I'm a lazy fucker) I stopped doing that even if I thought it was quite fun.
Anyway, Tari inspired me to go through my blog archive and count every letter I sent and received this year, and to create some graphs!
{short disclaimer: I haven't passed my latest statistics exam (LOL!) so what I'm going to assume may be completely wrong, so, please don't judge me.}

freebie friday XXI

I NO LONGER POST ON THIS BLOG, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW ONE!

Guess who's back, back again, Freebie Friday's back.. tell a friend ♫
*cringing inner voice: I really need to sort out my introductions* // Random fact of the day: does any of you like Eminem? Because I really do!
Anyways guys, I hope you'll be glad to see the freebies getting out and about, because I have a few sets I'm really excited to share with you, starting from this one:



I personally love traveling, collecting maps from the places I visit, and such things, so making a themed letter set was really fun!
Let me know if you like them as much as I do :)
Enjoy!

3 {christmassy} things

Hello guys, it wasn't very polite of me to disappear from the internet right before Christmas and New Years Day, but some of you knows what happened, and if you don't, please just accept my most humble apologies. I really hope you all had a great Christmas and that 2013 has been good to you so far :)

As for me, after this hiatus I'm ready to catch up on my own blog and on those I love reading, but first, since I received a few requests, I wanted to show you what I got for Christmas.

(Obviously, it's not my intention at all to brag about what I got, I purely what to show my presents to those who are interested.)


My boyfriend got me some awesome presents, starting from this wooden letter rack (pictured with a postcard I got from Andie) with a gorgeous flower decoration ♥
