It's already a month and a week into 2014????

This year is going by hella fast. I feel like just last week I was trying to find a ride back to my dorm to start of second semester. Anyway, hopefully this week will be less hectic than last week. To bask in the-hopefully-calm week to come I put together some letters for my close penpals Emma and Lizzie.

I put together another copy of my WTNV themed zine for Emma since she is also a WTNV fan! Other things I included was one of my favorite organic, fair-trade green tea from Clipper, a scavenger hunt worksheet, and a One Direction valentines day card (haha).

For Lizzie I essentially sent similar things. Except the zine was a film club zine I made on the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It is an ethereal movie and you should definitely watch it if you haven't yet (or watch it again if you have).  I also threw in a different kind of tea for Lizzie and another One Direction valentine's day card! You may recognize the stationery I used to write Lizzie's letter. It was part of what I received from Michelle for the Secret Penpal Scavenger Hunt!

Lately, I love sending out flower seeds. I hope they'll be planted and sprout soon. Even if it is just a little patch of earth, I feel like any type of happy vegetation is good for the planet. 

Also, when I checked on my mailbox Saturday, I found this little package stuffed in there! My other partner's parcel for the Indie Inspiration Swap finally had arrived!

What was inside was wonderful. I loved all of the different assorted buttons. The pile of orange and black  in the corner are actually shoelaces that my partner made herself! How unique! The recipe cards were cute too. They were typewritten and very handy. I may have to try them out when I get to go home and have access to a real kitchen sometime.

That's about it! Thanks for reading!
