Swaps Received Today

Every Thursday [Philippine time] I would pay a visit to the main post office to claim parcels and packages that were sent with the customs forms on them, you see any envelope no matter how small gets stuck at the main post office when they have the attached green custom's form. So it'd take a while for me to get them ... ever since I joined swap-bot I have been getting and sending loads and loads of mails on a close to daily basis. So lets take a look at them now shall we?

Thursday Mail Goodies [11|26|09]

I made it a habit to drop by the main post office every Thursday of the week after my shift and for this week here are the mails I got.

- a total of 15 envelopes -

- presents for everyone swap -

- an ink pad, a pair of socks and a box of stickers -

- Happy Birthday Greeting Card from Tracy -

- postcards, erasers, earrings, notecards, hot cocoa drink -

- love all these beautiful papers -

- for the swap-a-pen swap -

There are the goodies I've received last Thursday, they are all so wonderful.  Can't wait to see if I got any next week.

Missent to Thailand. Can You Imagine??

Sometime in October, I had a private swap with Cari [CariahCreates at swap-bot] and she has received my package quite sometime ago but I still hadn't received hers till yesterday. We both sent our respective packages on October 9, 2009 and she received and rate me on October 27, 2009. When I went to the main post office yesterday one of the 13 packages for me was a white box from Cari and I was ecstatic. At first I thought it was the stuff I bought from ebay but boy I was wrong. On the box was a stamp which says "MISSENT TO THAILAND", can you imagine??? Philippines and Thailand sure are spelled differently and I cannot understand why it was sent there. Lets take a look at them ...

Opening the box made me really really giddy with happiness yohooo! I now have cute pink and brown ribbons for my scrapbooking. So so cute, plus the handmade bracelet from Cari sure is a wonderful birthday present, though am allergic to accessories [most of the time] but this is surely one accessory am never gonna let go. So so nice. Thanks much Cari! You are one wonderful and awesome swapper.

Thursday Mail Goodies

After shift I decided to go straight to the main post office to check if I got any envies stuck there because they have the customs form attached on them and yes I got 13 envelopes waiting for me. Whoah! Heheheh so so so glad, but it did cost me quite a lot ... lol a rather large dent on my pocket. The lady in-charge who has then become a friend of mine smiled and said I sure have a lot of parcels. Lets take a look at them ...

Tuesday Mail Goodies

Got home last Tuesday to find these envies waiting for me ... yoooohoooo! Definitely a stress reliever after 9 hours in a stressful work environment. So lets take a look whats inside them.

Most of these envies are from swaps and tags via swap-bot.com, there's one from a new found friend via sendsomething.net. I got several FB's and am passing them out to friends this Friday, I still have some swaps to assemble and some fb's to fill out.

Monday Mail

Now Mondays mean a whole lot different to me, it now means I have several envies waiting for me at home from my swaps. Yippeee!! So I got home around noon after mailing off envies for all my tags and for my swap with Charlotte. When I got home I found bills and several envies ...

I got several notecards [I'm collecting them], stickers, letters, friendship booklets, earrings, fridge magnets and several postcards. So nice! Hopefully there will be more tomorrow. Weeeeeeeeee

FBs, Mails, Stickers and What Not

This arrived last Thursday and I was really really happy. I got a bunch of fbs from Bev, a surprise package from Elizabeth ... it was called a friendship fun pack filled with fbs, label bags, stickers and what not. It was a random thing and she must have gotten my addy from one of the many fbs passing around the world. Share from swap-bot sent me an envie for the wishlist tag filled with ribbons that were oh so cute. I also got an envie filled with cupcake note cards [ I love everything cupcake!] and loads of stickers. Let's take a look at them ..

It's been assembling things for other people, I've mailed out my weekly batch and am expecting to mail out quite a few by next week, hopefully I'll receive a bunch of envies this Monday.

Mails!

I was getting really frustrated when Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday came without any mail for me. Usually the postman would drop by around 10AM to 11AM but he didn't drop by during those days and I was worried, either nobody sent me anything [crossing my fingers I won't get flaked on at swap-bot] or they got lost somewhere in the Pacific [lol]. But last Thursday he arrived with a bunch of mails for me [10 or more envies] he said some did arrive on Monday but he waited and decided to just drop them off all at once!

Bad bad bad ... but I guess that's loads better than having to received nothing at all. So there you go here are the mails I got.

Did I mention am addicted to swap-bot??? Well there yeah go ... I am addicted to it and the post office lady said my vice is very very costly, I just grinned lol. Also I found another site ... sendsomething.net someone posted it on swap-bot on one of the swaps and I checked it out. I liked it immediately lol, so I registered and created my profile. It's not as advanced as swap-bot but it's fun coz you click on Random Address then you'd be presented with a random profile with the address and you could send that person anything! It's definitely a group for people who love getting random mails from strangers.

I already have a few addresses to send postcards too ... will mail them on Monday.

Tuesday Surprise

I got home around 11:30 AM after a 9 hour excrutiating shift ...*sigh* I don't like my work truth be told but giving that up would be like committing suicide ... so I stayed. I cannot wait for the clock to strike 10:3o AM so I could log off and go home it's one of the things I look forward to everyday ... coming home to find a postcard or an envie waiting for me.

Got home and my uncle placed on my computer table 2 "naked" postcards and 1 rather large envelope, I smiled. I was right ... penpalling and swapping is definitely a great stress reliever! Let's see what I got!!!

See the two postcards? Both are from the group swaps I participated in swap-bot; Sender's Choice Postcard both were from USA. In this particular swap we were given 6 partners that we have to send one naked postcard to each so a total of 6 and in return we'd receive 6 postcards as well. So far I got two and am looking forward to the other four.



Then notice that large brown package at the back? That is from Spain from a new found friend via Friends Circle. She sent me a bunch of FB's and this really big and thick Diddl Letter Pad. So so so nice! Thanks much Estela, my envie for you will be posted tomorrow.

So the one above are the envies I mailed today, one for Angela [met her via facebook and we've become regular penpals]; Bev [met her via friendshipbooklets.org and I adore the fb's she sent]; Michelle [via facebook as well] and the rest for the tags I joined in swap-bot. I am addicted to swapping and tagging I am almost always present on the Tags Forum at swap-bot. hehehehe. Oh see the big envie at the back??? Thats the very first big envie I've sent out either and thats for Anais in Paris, one of the things on her wishlist is a sketchpad heheheh and that made it big ...

I cannot wait for tomorrow ... hopefully there'll be envies waiting for me when I get home.
