Penpaloftheweek.com



Super cute this picture. I'd so give my husband that card for Vday. I've been addicted to Penpal of the Week.com and let me tell you why - I'm just obsessed with pen palling. Literally, I'll need total therapy to get off of it. Addict, addict, addict. Anyways, stumbled on this picture on her Valentines Cards posts from Etsy & I must say UBER cute!

Bedtime

I really should be in bed because my kids get up early, only got me & the kids while Jon goes to school...but seriously, I'm on a roll with writing letters. Finally sent my 5 that were backed up because I never had stamps but picked up more from Walmart yesterday while picking up groceries. I love how convenient it is to have Walmart sell stamps!! But Costco sells the 100 stamps!! I want to buy a 100 roll. Boo no $$.

Anyways, idk why I wanna post something. I guess because now there's a blogger app on my iPod that's easier to access versus having to turn on my computer. Love this!

Good night blogger world.

Returning home

Hiyeyerrrr. The kids and I are back home for Maui. 4 months there in total. Thank God my mom is alright. But received 4 letters today. I was heading to the post office but my stupid car broke down. Biiiiitch*.

Anyways, gotta go make dinner for my family. I cleaned up our bedroom it's a bit more decent. It was crazy crammed in here. But, my desk is clean. Gathering up all my old papers so I can use the scratch to make fbs, lbs, etc. Ttyl.

Junque Journal

Hey everyone. So, I have been strongly thinking about doing this too. I have been keeping a lot of loose ends that I don't know where to put them. Like little memorable things. I have made for my kids for when they grow up but I haven't actually done one for me. I decided on making one for my husband and I but it's more like a "wishlist" type of book "/ But anyways, if you look on the left it's a photo/journal entry someone did about the craziness going on in the world. It's just crazy. I borrowed the photo: in credit of : Shelly Bell. I've been wanting to do it and I think I will do it. I just bought 2 unruled composition books so I think I'll do it in there. I'm excited.

Anyways; I don't know if I got mail today. I have been having drama online and it's been bothersome. It not only happy once but twice. It's kind  of getting old. C'mon. But, it's over with. We both apologized to one another so I'm over it. lol.

Ok. I think I should go it's hot today and the fan is pointed at my son. I wish we had A/C!!!

Traveling Journal

Hello everyone. I'm thinking about doing this thing called The Traveling Journal. A friend of mine, Sam, has blessed me with a new project. I'm looking super forward to this. I've asked my other friend TwistedFae to do this with me. From my understanding, this is how it goes. So, you'll take a regular size paper, printer paper, and you'll decorate it accordingly: you'll put 5 pages inside, well this journal consists of how many pages you want, but to start off you'll put 5 pages...you'll decorate them as you want. Whatever tickles your fancy. Your pages will consist of (page 1) basically ABOUT YOU. (Page 2) About your family, (Page 3) Maybe what a day in the life of you could look like, (Page 4) Favorite things, (Page 5) About where you live, (Page 6) Questions & Answers - This is i'm guessing the best way for your penpals/friends could get to know you straight up. You know? Instead of seeing what it's like via letters (which I love also by the way) but to also experience it thru pictures. Instead of letters, it's more so by imagination this'll give them a better perspective.

Let me do Sam & TwistedFae's one and I'll decide if I'd continue to swap. I really like this idea and THANK YOU SAMANTHA if you're reading this. I'm excited. I'll take pictures AFTER she receives it.

I'm googling, I'm window shopping, I'm craving

I don't know if it's just me but I really want to buy stationary. I've always been one to put my family first. And, I always put my needs of my children before me. I wouldn't spend a nickel let alone a penny on what's for me for fun versus.. *cough. You know what I mean. I've been doing a random google - I stumbled on Puakalehua's youtube channel and boy has she got me jealous. I want to have a little section made in my house which would be just my little corner for all my hobbies. Especially, I want to make a "stationary" collection like Puakalehua's. That's just amazing. Also, you know who else inspires me? TwistedFae. She's so creative it's driving me nuts. It's not that I wanna copy her - OKAY MAYBE I DO!! She's just amazing like that.

Anyways, I'm almost complete with my mail pile. I'm definitely lower than what I was. I think I have maybe 5 letters left to reply back to. So, i'm excited about being finally caught up. NO MAIL came today besides my 3 movies from Blockbuster but that was it.

My husband starts school tomorrow so I'll be in the parking lot with my kids in two and writing my letters. I'm thinking about bringing them to the park while me and my son chills. LOL. Hmm. I guess that's it. My son is waking up but he should be asleep. Need to wake up early in the AM. Good night folks.

Woot, Award & Tag

Award Thank you, Aurora, for the award. You're the bestest. Now it's my turn. It's been awhile since I've done a tag so lets do this. 10 random facts, lets go:

1. My biggest goal in life is to open my portrait studio. With a dark room and everything for developing. One of the biggest excitements I had in high school.

2. Believe it or not, I can't do 2 things at once.

3. I'm addicted to twitter.

4. I say I'm born & raised on Maui but I was actually born on Oahu and raised majority of my life on Maui. haha.

5. I LALALOVE bling but can't afford them. In my eye, diamonds AREN'T a girls best friend.

6. Flowers make me happy.

7. I love gossip magazines but I never buy them because it's just a waste of space. I should buy them so I could make FBs and stuff. I HATE DECOS & Lyrix don't send them to me! lol.

8. I HATE TYPED letters. Don't ask me why. I just feel it's a waste of personalism. Wait, is that a word - IDK just don't ask.

9. I'm a very friendly, down to earth person, but I can be very not-so-friendly you push my wrong buttons. Woot.

10. I love my kids & i'm a happily married woman. Whoah. I'm a woman. I wish I was a kid again.

I can't tag anyone. I don't know much people on here yet "(

Tag you're it:
Michelle.

Surprise by Amber


I got a surprise in the mail today. NO letters but just a flat rate box with a bunch of stationaries inside. She knows my "situation" so she "donated" some to me. You're the best Amber. I love you girl.

Here on a small island it's hard to get stationary of any kind. Even just to get a nice decent BEAUTIFUL paper of some sort. I only use filler paper and computer paper (that's got designs on 'em) I don't shop online I wish I could afford it but no pity story here. Just a pleasant shout out to my girl Amber. Thanks love.
