Happy mail recieved in May

The month has almost passed and it's time to show you a few of the letters I've recieved this month.

Love that I not only send out a bunch of fish this month but also recieved fish stickers :-p

Sensing a theme? So fun.

Cute yellow monster notecard from a new pal in Australia :-)

Great butterfly themed letter from a pal in the US. I love the letter in the top of the picture with questions - such a cool detail :-)

This colorful kawaii letter was from a new pal. I love all the happy colors and look forward to sending her a reply.

For some reason this image insists on turning the wrong direction.The camera doesn't really give justice to the pretty, pale purple paper. (4 P's in a row that will be hard pronouncing :-p).  I love the gardening / spring themed stickers she added to the paper and also enclosed for me to use. I put one of the stickers in my planner almost immediatly :-p

Did you recieve some great letters this month?

Swimming blue fish

I made this fish-themed box for one of my penpals.

The inspiration actually came from the Animal Planet Ocean Animal Cards that you see on the next picture. They are given out for free at our local grocery store and are collectable cards with info about ocean animals. It is often those little items that inspire me and makes me want to make themed letters.

I went on a scavanger hunt in my favourite stores looking for fish items and found some cool ones. I also looked in my pile of magazine cutouts and scrapbook paper. The box is a toffifee box that I wrapped in paper. In the bottom of the box I placed a picture of some old Danish fishing boats. The letter was written on some letter paper with cute oceanscenarie.
Items included was:
- Letter
- Pins
- Fish on a toothpick
- Hand towel with a fish on it (the small red Square)
- Animal Planet Ocean Cards
- Decorative 3D 'fan-styled' fish.

These pins were my favorite item. They are really cute and detailed.
