Mail from Australia!

by Amy on September 26, 2008

Two very happy girls received their stationary swaps yesterday from Melissa and her family in Australia.

They both were totally excited about these adorable fabric stationary holders and all the goodies inside.  In fact, they wanted to use them this morning at 7:00, so I had to quickly snap a few photos of all the fun letter and card-making stuff inside: the cutest notecards and envelopes, glitter pencils, Australian animal postcards, fancy paper, lots of stickers, glittery cardstock flowers, and more!

Melissa, James & Bella – Thank you!  You made these two girls VERY happy! :)

WOW! So lovely, equally as cool and sweet as the ones you made. What a neat idea. No wonder they look so happy. :)
I love the Japanese elephant fabric.

First of all – your girls are SO gorgeous!!
What a lovely surprise to find on your blog, I’m so glad that they were happy with their goodies.
I’ll be sure to post on my blog too as soon as your package arrives (which I’m guessing will no doubt be this week). I’m away for a holiday for 8 days as of Monday, but my Mum is collecting our mail, so it will be nice and safe :)
What a fabulous swap :)

Those are so cute! I loved writing letters and mailing them when I was young. And getting mail was even better. I am sure that the stationary will lead to hours of fun, and it will be a great time to further their writing skills and abilities.
Since they like things from around the world, it might be fun to join us. In 3 days, my husband (Justin) and I leave to backpack to various countries around the world for a year or so. Follow along http://www.nomadbackpackers.com
Have fun mailing letters!
