March "We ♥ Mail": Fairy tales

I loved the March theme of our We ♥ Mail project so much: Fairy tales! :D I've always loved fairy tales and still love to read them. So working on this theme was so much fun for me! I gave the entire theme a modern approach, so this is what I've sent to Juliana (Portugal).

I've bound everything to a little book (as I love doodling mandalas, one on front of the cover), so there are quite many pictures coming, as I had to take pictures of every page separately.



A letter for Juliana and some sticky notes I thought would perfectly fit into the theme.



One of three stamps I've carved for this theme: Little Red Riding Hood (stamped on tags).



Two washi tape samples I associate to fairy tales: A corny, pink and pretty lace pattern and a romantic, blue and winter pattern.



The second stamp I've carved: Mary Poppins with the lovely quote "Don't you know that everybody's got a fairyland of their own?"



A bunch of snippets, stickers, mini tags, origami paper...




The last stamp I've carved: Tinkerbell, one of my favourite fairy tale characters!



An instruction for making stars and some glow-in-the-dark star origami paper.



The happy end. :D

And that's what I've received from dear Sara! Such a beautiful package full of lovely things.



Lovely quotes written on her typewriter, a wolf mask, a beautiful book with a lovely story she's written.



Beautiful tags, a bookmark and beautifully stitched butterfly tags.



This month's theme was so much fun and I'm looking forward to the next month with the theme "easter" or "tasty treats". :D

Journal pages: March Week I + II

I liked the idea of using one color scheme for each week, so I continued doing that. :)

March Week I: Green/Purple



A big washi tape order arrived! :D



March Week II: Grey/Blue



A new stamp design I used for making a color-matching card for this week.



I tried out Zen/Mandala Doodling! So much fun! :D



Wish you all a lovely start into the week! ♥

So, so beautiful snail mails

A while ago Blanca spoiled me again with a wonderful mail. But look for yourself! :)



So many beautiful things: A beautifully stamped envelope, cute fabric buttons, tea, stickers, lovely tags and a swan sticker. I especially loved the turtle she bought for me, as she knows I love turtles! Thank you so much, Blanca! I absolutely loved your mail! :D

Adriana has sent me a beautiful mail last week too.



I loved every single piece of it! The pretty cards, the cute notebook with a tree doodle on the cover, the pretty stone, the word stickers and of course the beautiful self-sewn purse!!!
Now I use it as a pencil case for my journalng pens and other material!



Thanks so much, Adriana!! :D :D

We heart Mail - What I received (Jan, Feb)

In January I received a beautiful mail from Margaret, wrapped up in a pretty parcel.



A wonderfully long letter on colorful paper with a cute snail mail stamp in the corner. I really enjoyed getting to know Margaret in her detailed letter. :)



She's sent me gorgeous self-designed stamps: The cute snail, an alphabet and a "my friend" stamp! :D



And great material for snail mailing and journaling.



Thank you so much, Margaret! I enjoyed your mail very much!

And this is the February snail mail with the theme "love" dear Hila's sent me. Look at all the pretty details!



A cloud pet I absolutely adore, cute washi samples, an origami bird and a translation of a hebrew love song! Such a great idea!



A self-made cute little book for love notes, my name in Hebrew :D, a lot of hearts and cute snippets.



Thank you so much for all the pretty things, Hila!

You'll find all snail mails on our project website.

Wish you all a lovely week! ♥

Journal weeks

At the end of this month's project I would like to show the journal weeks I created during the month.

In comparison to the years before I embellished the pages more using washi tape, different colors, the journal stamps I carved, stickers and snippets. For a better blog organization I started to mark the post days with color points. For my week away I created an additional page between two pages for all the visiting cards and snippets I collected.



In the current week, inspired by different filofax videos, I started to embellish a week with a color scheme (yellow and black). Of course I still used other colors too, but I tried to chose mainly yellow/black accessoires. I think it looks nice for a change. :)

By the way, I LOVE the Muji pens I got during my trip! They're gorgeous to write with and they don't shine through the pages!! Just perfect for my journal. :D



I'm really happy with my current system and I have so much fun recording our life. :D
Do you like journaling? I would love to read about the way you do your memory keeping. ♥
