Hey there, popsicles!
I am currently sat in my Mum's flat and feeling like creating something really nice and peachy!
I have this little project going on the sendsomething.net website which seems to be rather encouraging and reassuring.
           The main target of the project is to send a piece of mail to the selected amount of people which, as of now, counts 90 creative individuals, all are participants of sendsomething.net!
           I have decided to choose first 5 peeps via random.org and those are:

Hey, pumpkins!
Great news! I have officially launched my very own website, hence the name up there - www.annablogs.com yay!
I am going to change the template and the layout a bit when I am back in Tyumen.
For now, as promised to my fellow Russian snail mailers, who has recently featured me in a vk.com group, here goes my stash of the stuff I use for creating my mail pieces and bits. Hopefully, you will be getting a close up real soon! :D
I store everything in boxes ( paper, envelopes, tapes, letters, postcards)
It does help me a lot to remain as organised. However, when I switch on to my creativity mode, the boxes are hanging around my desk, couch, chair and floor! hah Isn't it handy?!















 My overly excessive collection of stamps: worth of 2000 rubles.

Hey, folks!
Finally, I have got some spare time to devote to my one and only blog!
I have been working on moving my blog to my own domain.
However, It seems to be quite problematic, you see. I have established a new template and a layout. All the further changes are likely to happen later on. I cannot approve the payment which is sad..
None of my credit cards works! Damn it.

As for now, please, remain patient as the good times are coming and there will be many changes and very many new mail adventures, meaning, more posts!

I never stopped sending mail. On the contrary, my postcards collection is growing fast and I've been making more pen pal,too!
I have recently sent out a bunch of letters/postcards to all of my pen pals.
There are still few letters lying on my desk and I will answer shortly to those who are waiting: Anna and Hannah from England, Kilmery in Canada and Michaela in the states, along with 20 randomly chosen people from Sendsomething.net 

So long now,

I am sorry for being such a horrible blogger but I'll pay you off with benefits! :))

See you in the mailbox!

Long time no see ;)
I know, I know I wrote a post yesterday and if you still haven't read it, what on earth are you waiting for?!
      Well, talking business, I've received a package from my amazing new pen pal - Hannah. I've been a very lazy butt lately (oops..) and have completely forgotten to mail something peachy for her! 
I am making it up to her and sending a nice package tomorrow!
My packages, as a rule, consist of same things. As, I always include a napkin or two, some teabags and blank sheets. Sometimes, I put a washi-tape and handmade envelopes.
So, this time my package is a bumper crop! haha Not really, but you'll see it yourself.
Here is Hannah's envie:


She sent me 4 self produced badges, her business card and 20 illustrations in that little booklet on the right. She is a fabulous drawer! She definitely has talent! Thank you, Hannah, so much! If you are reading this, just stop here, cause the next thing I am posting is the package you are likely to get in June ;)

When I pack things into an envelope, I usually come up with theme colours and stickers.




Then goes the other half of the package which consists of a Russian flag, an old badge of Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980, a Mango business card, a 2012 calendar, two self-made envelopes, a ten-rubles note, a train ticket, several blank sheets of paper and a vintage envelope.




This is pretty much it. I will put a 50-rubles stamp and mail the package off. The previous one was for my friend in San Francisco and it reached her in just 12 days! Isn't that fantastic?! Hopefully, today's package will get to its recipient swiftly as well!


I was walking back home from uni and took a picture of my favourite tree in the city. It remains green till the very end of October and it is the last tree to fall off its leaves,too!





Enjoy your day,
Annie B. x
