My mailbox was empty for a while, but yesterday finally I received some nice letters! :) I'm excited to have a posting of Incoming Mail later. :) OK, these're the letters I posted today. This one is flying to Sweden. I was going to make the envelope to look like rain, but somehow I used it up side down...I have no idea what I was thinking when I was putting the address label to the envelope.
And this one is traveling to Lithuania. I was hoping to find rose stamps to match the decoration but couldn't, so I just used flower theme stamps. Hope she will like it.
My pile of letters is getting smaller. I have few more letters to write though. When you reply to your letters, in which order do you reply? Do you reply according to the date you received? I try to reply according to the date I received, but to those pals who live in far away countries to where the letters take longer to be delivered, I try to reply right away. Sometimes, my letter to my Mexican pal takes like 1 month or even longer than that to be delivered. As long as it arrives safely, I'm happy though. :)
今日発送のお手紙は２通。スウェーデンとリトアニアへ。スウェーデンへの自作封筒は、雨が降っているようになるように作りたかったのですが、何を勘違いしたか、上下逆に宛名ラベルを貼ってしまった…疲れているのかな（月曜日から？）（＾＾；
たまっていたお手紙もだいぶ減ってきました。あともう一息です。沢山書きたいけど、適当な手紙は書きたくないし、今の私にはこの位のペースが限度のようです。ところで、皆さんはお返事を書くとき、どんな順番で書いていますか？私は、届いた順に書くようにしていますが、届くまで時間がかかるような国へは早めに返事をするようにしています。メキシコのパルへは、時々1ヵ月以上かかるときもあるので。
↓いつもありがとうございます。押していただけると励みになります☆
Well, I usually reply to letters by the order they arrived, but sometimes I reply to shorter letters before, and then I use more time to reply to longer letters....nice envelopes and stamps above all, we don't have such cute stamps in Italy!
ReplyDeleteI have a big collection of beautiful Italian used stamps. :) You guys have nice stamps, too!!
DeleteI always reply letters in order of receiving. I find it more fair for everyone this way... and actually it has never come to my mind to do another way!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do that same. Like you said, writing back in order of receiving is more fair for everyone. :) Sometimes I see the date when the letter was written and if the letter took so long to travel, then I write back such letter right away as my pal has been waiting for the reply for a long time. Once, my pal's letter was first sent to Jamaica for some reason and then to Japan...and it took like 2.5 months to get here! I wrote her back right away! :D
Delete1 month to be delivered is "fast" for Venezuelan standards, sometimes letters take 2 or 3 months to be delivered to my home :(
ReplyDeleteWow, 2 or 3 months to be delivered? That's a long journey! I guess the letters love traveling in your country. ;)
