July is here!

I can't believe that it's July already! July is one of my favorite months...probably because it's my birthday month! I'll be 22 years old on July 27 and I'm excited but also...not excited. Another year! Gah! Birthdays when I was a kid were always so much more exciting...Once I hit 18, everything kind of went 'blah'. Would anyone be willing to send me a birthday card or postcard? It would make my birthday so much more special!

But this month has already gotten off to a great start! Even if it was really hard getting out of my vacation funk... I quit my job selling workout clothing and got hired on at a new store that sell 'comfort shoes'! Yesterday I had my first day and it was SMASHING! I'm so excited to be working for another company! And I can wear Birkenstocks to work! :3

Some less than exciting news...Someone broke into my mail box! :( I'm assuming it happened on 4th of July when all of the fireworks were going off...Boo! I haven't picked up my mail in THREE days due to my work schedule! Hopefully I'll be able to grab it on Monday...post people, PLEASE put in news doors!

I just this morning sent out two letters...one to Johanna and one to Lainey! Hopefully they arrive safely!

PuchiMo address labels = LOVE!

Oh my goodness, I am in love with PuchiMo address labels! I just had to share how pretty they are! Kana did a beautiful job! They aren't listed in her Etsy shop, but I think you can get them if you convo her! Nope, this is not a promotional post, either! I just love them! I've been on an address label kick lately and just...wow. Observe!



Aren't they gorg?!

What's in my letter-writing kit?

Figured I would show off what I took with me on vacation! Keep in mind, this was a ten day trip and I brought a LOT more with me than I would have on any other vacation! I'm very well known for over-packing and I definitely did this time BUT I didn't have to run out and buy anything, so that was good at least! Well, except stamps. Somehow or another, I forgot to buy those pre-trip...Anywho, here goes! Oh, and I fit this all, with room to spare, in a regular two section Jansport backpack.

Here is the whole lot together! Ignore the field notes notebooks! Also, the 'loose leaf' paper is a no-name paper that I got from my local Japanese market! The pouch is one that I previously showed.


What is inside of all those ziplock bags, you ask? First off, let's talk about the ziplock baggies! I ended up choosing these (and the plastic blue box, which is also a no-name item from the same market.) for organization because they were simple light, and see-through in case TSA hassled me!

I managed to fit all of my washi tapes, a roll of standard clear tape, a stick-glue, as well as three packages of various stationery in two baggies.


The blue box-y thing is just a simple locking plastic folder-type thing and inside that, I kept a few spare pens as well as the letters I was responding to, letters I was working on, some spare memo sheets, and some stickers.




And inside the plastic airmail pouch, you ask? PENS AND LABEL GOODIES!



Included up there in the pen lot are a buuuunch of Pilot G2's in various points and colors, a Pilot B2P (I had like five more but I'm not sure where they went for this photo...), several Unibal Signos, two different types of Sharpie pens, a Sharpie marker, a Pilot Choose...And then later on in the trip, I added in four Pilot B2P rollerballs!


I also had a bunch of random stuff includes...various types of labels, things to stick in, some stickers, a few different types of cards in case I wanted something different...Just a bunch of randoms! Also inside that pouch were some of the postcards that I purchased!

So there ya have it! I carry WAY too much with me! In hindsight, I wish I had packed lighter, but at least I was prepared? OH! I also carried a regular old clipboard with me, too!

An addition to my must-have pens!

I was browsing Meijer yesterday and came across a new to me pen! Again, it's by Pilot and is in the b2p range but I strayed away from my usual gel b2p/G2 and thought I'd give the rollerball a chance... And I  LOVE IT! They are very much like my beloved black and white 'Bic Stick Med' black pens! I tend to stray away from rollerballs and actually grabbed them by mistake but decided to give them a go. Well worth the $3.99 for a 4-pack! I picked them up in the black medium 1.0 point size.



They all have a wet usable grippy that doesn't get in the way!



My three go-to pens, not including my Marvy le pens, Staedtler tri-plus fineliners, Stabilo 88's, and Uniball Signos (in various sizes!). I try not to use those guys as much as I do the Pilot pens because I only have one or two of each with the exception of my set of Staedler fineliners.

Hopefully these photos don't need to be re-sized! If so, I'll do it when I get home! I'm working off my Blogger iPhone app at the moment!

Vacation is proving to be productive!

Productive on the writing front, that is! Today we are headed to Mackinac Island, a place well known for their fudge! Hopefully I can finally find a post office, too!  And hopefully a hotel room that doesn't smell like smoke and air freshener! Anywho, mail tiiiiiiiiime!

Some Michigan posties going out from Sleeping Bear Dunes (where we visited yesterday!)



And also two standard Michigan cards! I sent two of this design!


A fun one! 


To Arwen!


To Elaine! 


To Kiki! 


The back!
