smash sunday

Good afternoon guys :)
I'm writing this post about today's SMASH* pages with glistening eyes because they bring such sweet memories back, so don't mind me if I get emotional later on!
Anyhow, I feel like this post need a little back story, so here you go:
I have a pin board above my bed with a lot of travel mementos pinned on it, but one day I woke up and decided I wanted to keep my memories somewhere else, as keeping some of them under my eyes everyday didn't feel right anymore. So, what place better than my SMASH*?

llamas in my mailbox!

Hello again, friends :)
Once again, I've received lots of beautiful mail this week from my lovely friends, so let me show you!
Do I see llamas on that envelope? Heck yes, ha! This letter is from Elisse in Belgium, and she always send me cute paper bits. For this letter she also made her very own stationery with cute, fluffy owls, and sent me an old postcard, a troll illustration, and a baggie of stickers :)

news and such

Hello guys! As some of the most hawk-eyed of you have already noticed, I changed (yes, again!) my layout. I grew tired of all that pink, and went for more neutral colors this time. What do you think of it? c:
I might be sticking with it for a while, but who knows!

Well, anyway, this post was not meant to be just a rant about graphics. I actually wanted to introduce you to two new pages of my blog: commissions & sponsor.
Their titles are pretty self explanatory. I've made a detailed page with prices, examples, discounts etc about commissions on custom illustrations, printable letter sets, and blog graphic.
Some of the prices aren't fixed, so if you're interested in something specific, you can email me to ask about how much your commission will cost (I don't bite, so ask me whatever question you may have, I won't force you to buy anything if you don't want to :P asking is free!).

The sponsor page instead, features the prices for an advert space on my blog (with stats and all that jazz, once again, don't be scared to ask questions, if interested!), which I think are nicer, not to mention more useful, than those annoying google ads.
Of course whatever sum I raise won't be used to open a bar on a tropical island ;) I don't actually plan to get rich with your money! It will more likely be spent in stamps and paper goodies, what else?!

Blablablah, are you still reading? Well, thanks :3
Another cool news is that one of my American penpals, Kelly, is coming over in Italy and she'll be visiting my town, which meeeans: we're going to meet! Oh, so exciting! That would be the first time I get to meet a penpal in person and I'm sure I'm going to be super awkward and all I know about the English language will be suddenly forgotten and I'll be like: "It's a-me, Fab!", lol.

(If you understand that reference, you win a virtual hug).

One last thing, promise! I re-opened my Etsy shop with brand new, still hot off the press, cards and collage kits! I also updated all the pictures, which are now slightly better than the previous ones, and to finish with a flourish, I'll be including a free stickersheet with the first 5 orders c: 
So go grab something, now! 
(pss also use the code REOP1 at check out for 10% discount *winkwink*)



Oh, and you see, I also have new business cards especially for Etsy, (am I a pro yet?!) and I'm really in love with them :3

Umh, that would be all, I guess! 
Have a good day c:

september mail week #4

Hello guys! This week I actually remembered to write a post about my outgoing mail, but the trick is, all the pictures I took are pretty bad (out of focus, underexposed, noisy..), so I apologise for that in advance.


This letter is for Mona in the US. It's a shame I can't show you the whole address because I was quite proud of my calligraphy :<
