After the pen: Feb. 06-Feb. 12.


Ice cream is most definitely cheaper than therapy! just sucks that I am [in what it seems like a never ending cycle of getting] sick, mix that in with the whole vog ladidahs and its just plain misery! These past two weeks have been very draining, bu I'm still holding my head up and smiling...and that's all that really matters, right?!?

Out-going postcards.



This postcard is going a photography loving young lady named Lucie who lives in the Czech Republic. I decided to decorate her postcard with flowers, since she said that she enjoyed flowers and also cameras. I hope she likes it!



This beautiful ocean postcard will be traveling to Russia to a young lady named Victoria. She mentioned that she liked anime, and so I hope that she likes the decoration that I used for her postcard!

Washi Surprise!


I was super was surprised when I saw this package waiting for me in my mail basket; I wasn't excepting anything. I couldn't figure out what it could possibly be...and so when I opened the package and saw...


...glitter washi tape! Wow! I do remember ordering this, but it took so long to get to me and I had completely forgotten about it until today! I love glitter and I love washi tape, so I was very stoked when I saw these beautiful things! I know that they will be used a lot! :)

Postcrossing: Outgoing.



This postcard of Duke will be sent direct swap to Ana from Porugal. She contacted me a few days and asked if we could do a direct swap and I agreed! I will usually always agree to direct swaps. :) But on her profile she wrote that she wanted postcards of monuments and beaches, and I believe that this one is a good one for her! She also wrote that she wanted us to draw a picture of the weather...and so I decided to draw a picture of the sunrise over the ocean and she also wanted us to finish this sentence, "When I think of Portugal, I think about..." so I did. :)




This postcard was sent through direct swap with a young lady in Spain. This is actually the first time someone requested a postcard on my IG account! She saw this postcard that I had posted up and she wanted to know if I would send her one since she collects children in their cultural outfit...and so I said, sure! :)



This postcard will be on it's way to Hermaine from Germany. Her profile was VERY short. Barely anything, and I have to admit that I was tempted to just send her a postcard saying, "Happy postcrossing"...no stickers, no decorations...but that wouldn't be me. I just wish that people would write just a little bit more. Oh well, can't make people do things that they don't want to!



This postcard is going to Jan from Arkansas! Another US fellow postcrosser! She wrote that she wanted postcards with landscapes and she liked to be outside enjoying nature, so I decided to send her one of my favorite landscapes to drive by...I hope she likes it! :)



This postcard will be on it's way to Czech Republic. Erika said that she would like postcards that is of our hometown, city and that she liked night pictures...and so I know that this isn't of my town, but this is a beautiful night shot of my most favorite view on this island! She also said that she really liked basketball, and so I decided to add some basketball stickers. She also said that she liked decoration and drawings, and so I decorated and drew on her postcard. :)

Out-going postcards.

So at one time, a bunch of my postcards reached their destination, and so I got to have some fun sending some postcards out! I love choosing postcards for each person and personalizing them on the back! It's fun and I love the fact that a part of me is traveling around the world! How awesome is that?! :)


This time I had SIX postcards going out...and just looking at all these beautiful postcards makes me feel so happy I live where I live! I never knew that I could love this place so much! But I hope to never take advantage of this beautiful island where I live! :)


This first postcard will be traveling in style in a bright pink envelope! Camilla of Sweden asked if her postcard could be sent in an envelope, and so of course I had to decorate the envelope as well! :)



Camilla wrote that she would like "old fashioned, vintage style ads (no modern ads or free cards), so I think that this is a perfect postcard for her! :) She also asked that "if there's some mythology connected to your region or city where you live, I'ld be very interested in reading about it." So I wrote and told her about our little Menehunes that we have running around! :) I hope you enjoy this postcard, Camilla!



This postcard will be on it's way to Russia to a gentleman named Valery. He didn't write very much on his profile, but that he would be "glad of any card." And so I decided to give him this one! I love the view of Sandy's and I hope that he will like it too! Oh, he also said that he liked trains, and so I had to put a train full of santa's on his postcard! :) Enjoy Valery! :)



This postcard will be sent to Hannelore in Germany. She wrote, "I also like very much surprises, so any card that you want to send me, wold make me happy." So I love this postcard, so I hope that this one will also make her happy! She mentioned that she liked to garden so I decorated her postcard with some gardening washi tape! :) I hope this postcard makes her smile! :)



This Sandy Beach postcard will be staying here in the States, but will be making it's way to the Mainland in Virginia to be exact. I can't imagine just how cold it is there right now! I chose this card for Robin because she mentioned that she loved to hike in the mountains...so I decided to give her this postcard since it has the mountains for her...and it has the ocean for me. :) I hope she enjoys this beautiful view of our mountains and of the beach!



This beautiful plumeria postcard will be going to Yuekun in China. She wrote that she wanted a postcard with flowers on it (well, it was one suggestion on her list of postcards that she wanted) and she didn't want a multi-view postcard, and so I chose this one for her. She asked if we would "write me 'Hello!' in your language!" Well, I speak English and we say, "Hello" but I did tell her how here in Hawai'i we say "Aloha"...even though it's more than a greeting. I hope she likes this postcard!



This multi-view postcard will actually be sent to a secondary school in Szczecinek, which is north west of Poland. I think that it's pretty awesome that this English Class is having a postcrossing project that sends and receives postcard from all around! They will collect all the postcards that they will recieve and make a presentation with them! :) I chose this postcard since it shows several awesome views of this beautiful island, and I also wrote some facts about Hawai'i! I hope they like it! :)

Target surprise gifts!

Today my friend (and co-worker) came into my classroom this morning before the chaos of lovely darlings came in and gave me some things that she got me from Target! I keep telling myself that I need to go there when I have the chance...I absolutely love their $1 section in the front of the store!


So "I" came into my classroom and gave me some washi tape and stickers...! I love it! I love surprises! I love how she thought of me when she saw these things!



I used these same stickers for my DollGirl and KaiBoy's Advent Calender...but I wanted to go back to get some for me...I love these stickers...they are fun and there are a variety of stickers that I can use!


And guess what!? Each 500+ sticker book was only a dollar each! You can't beat that! They are fun, festive, sparkly, and Winter-y...perfect! I am planning to use them in my planners, letters, journals, and DIY cards that I am planning on making. I can't wait!


She also got me some washi tape! Oh, how I LOVE washi tape! :) These are 2 yards a roll and they are fun and festive! (I find myself using that word festive a lot!)


And I love how each roll was only $1! How awesome was that?! :)





And there are close ups of the washi tape that "I" had given me...and LOVE them all! I'm glad that I have friends who give me random surprises! :)
