Most are over a year old and I feel really bad for abandoning my penpals like that.<br />
I'll be sending postcards out to all my penpals who I have received a letter or postcard within the last 12 months. Time to get the snail mail ball rolling again.<br />

I did a lot of soul searching and thinking...and partying. I definitely acquired a lot of crazy stories from my adventures last year. It was tiring.<br /><br /><div>
Life has started to settle back down though and I'm glad it has. I removed the negativity in my life, I've been accomplishing goals, feeling 100x better, Tim is back in my life, and everything else is just really really great right now.<br /></div>
<div>
School is pretty much done with. I've been taking some art classes for the fun of it, which are keeping me a little more busy than I had anticipated but that's okay.<br />My online business has grown to become almost like a real job. And the best so far is that I became a vendor at the local antique mall! It has always been a dream of mine and I finally accomplished it this year. It's been a lot of hard work and I'm still learning the ropes but I'm really happy with my little shop. </div>

I do plan on getting back to snail mail and all that soon. I miss it very much.<br /><br />I'm just so excited about life right now.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Hi. It's been a while. </span></div>
<span style="text-align: start;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm on a mission for positive thinking, creating positive things and striving for happiness. It's taken me half a year to realize that this goal is not easy and there's still days where I rather just sleep all day and not think of anything. Things are getting better though, recently I have found myself having more good days than bad and smiling more...of course my anxiety gets in the way sometimes but it passes.<br />
<br />
So since my last post I have met some great people, gone on many adventures, one step closer to finishing school, and found some hope.</div>

I haven't been posting a lot but I have been catching up with all my mail (after buying $40 worth of stamps) and attempting to maybe finish 365 Mail Art this year. I am currently in #60.<br />
<br />
Here is some of the outgoing mail from the last month;<br />

So far I have been to San Francisco, took the metrolink to LA all by myself and yesterday I finally went to the Rose Bowl Flea Market. It was literally heaven on earth. I was so overwhelmed that I almost left empty handed.<br />

<br />
<br />
Where did I go?<br /><br />I don't know what happened these last couple of months but my desire to do the things I love completely escaped me. It's a new year though and I am trying hard to get back into the swing of things.<br />
<br />
My mail pile is massive and if you've sent me something within the last 3..even 4 months than I am so sorry for not responding but I will eventually.<br />
<br />
This year I plan on getting things done. I want to finish projects I abandoned last year and start new ones. I want to start blogging again and keeptrack of all my mail. I want to start painting again and making things. I want to do a lot of stuff.<br />
<br />
I hope this year brings good things. My jar is ready to be filled.<br />

I feel like I waited for October to end and didn't appreciate it as much as I could of but that's okay. There's always next year.<br />

This past weekend I went to Vegas with a few of my friends.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall the trip was a great escape from reality. For 4 days it was like everything was perfect.</div>

<br />
The weather is finally changing! It just started raining about an hour ago and we have some thunder too!<br />
<br />
I have been doing a lot of thinking about life and I know things are changing. Last night in my meditation/ Dharma education class we learned that everything is impermanent and every second of the day is an opportunity to start a new beginning. Today Tim's mother shared the exact same quote with me. I am taking it as a sign. I feel really positive and optimistic today.<br />
<br />
These last couple months have been really hard on Tim and I. I honestly don't think we'll make it to our 4 year anniversary on the 31st. I've been trying really hard to fix things but nothing is working and he's no longer putting any effort. We've been here before but I don't think we can recover from this one. I don't see us getting back together again if we do break up.<br />
<br />
Anyways, keeping it positive here are some of my Halloween themed incoming and outgoing mail.<br />
I am finally sitting down and replying to everyone. I have mail from late August that I still have not responded to >.<<br />

I LOVE OCTOBER! I think EVERYONE loves October! I can't wait for the cool weather so I can wear sweaters and cozy things.<br />
<br />
I have not worked/replied to any mail since late August I believe. I just felt like laying in bed all month, it sucked. But things are changing now and I will not let that happen again! I have already started working on Halloween cards and replied to a few letters.<br />
<br />
The only thing I have to show for last month is the two pieces I submitted for the Postmarked 2012 exhibit and silent auction. Yesterday was the opening night and I actually went (I wasn't sure if I wanted to go or now, i dont know why). It was amazing. I love mail art and I love that other people love it too and it all goes to a good cause.<br />

The L.A. County fair was okay. We sneaked in alcohol since they over charge everything there. I felt like such a rebel. However it was way too hot and we were all ready for a nap not even 2 hours into the day.lol<br />
At least they had a new exhibit dedicated to geniuses. They had a post office ( I don't remember what the meaning behind it was though lol)<br />

I have to say that the highlight of this weekend was when my mother came home with a rolling cart full of sewing supplies and things. She only paid $7 for everything...I leave you all with pictures....</div>

Good thing I have a 6-day weekend!<br />I only go to school Mondays and Wednesdays so I don't go back until next Wednesday ..love it!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is the L.A. County fair and it's only $1 to get in so that's where I'll be. I have gone to the fair's opening day or weekend every year for the last 18 years. Never missed a year, even when I had a cast on my leg in 7th grade.<br />
<br />
Here is my last embroidery made for a penpal...<br />

This summer was definitely more laid back and I didn't really accomplish a lot but it still felt nice. no regrets.<br />
<br />
I really did a lot of snail mail activities though and that was on my summer-to-do-list....wherever that may be.<br />
<br />
There's been a lot of mail coming and going this past week though,<br />
<br />
<u>Incoming</u><br />
<br />

I've been spending my days inside because even the pool water is too hot.<br />
<br />
We've also been experiencing a lot of earthquakes lately and they've been really close by. I've lived in Southern California my whole life but I can never get used to them. I been terrified of them ever since the Northridge quake in 1994. I think the part that scares me the most is the feeling you get right before it hits, you can hear and "sense" it first. It's hard to describe what it sounds like, my mom said it was like horses running towards you. I also get really light headed and scared right before it hits. I just hate them. This week it's been just really hard "jolts", lasting only a few seconds. Anyways, enough about earthquakes...<br />
<br />
This past weekend Tim and I plus a couple of our friends played "Tourist" in L.A/Hollywood. We rode the metro, took a Starline tour and then went to CityWalk. We got to ride the double decker tour bus that goes all around Hollywood and L.A.The guy who sold us the tickets asked us where we were from and thought it was hilarious that I'm FROM Hollywood and went to Hollywood High (which is a block away from Hollywood BLVD) ...I still felt like a tourist as I pointed out all the different landmarks such as the hospital as I born in, my high school and my grandparent's house hahah!<br />

<br />
I don't think I accomplished a lot on my summer to-do list. The whole idea of having a summer to-do list is enough to discourage me to do it.<br />
<br />
Anyways, currently I am working on an embroidery and maybe i'll have it done by tonight. As for mail, I think I need to do some organization to get back into the swing of things. I look at my desk and think "ugh, maybe later.."<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Feel Good” was actually a fabric card my mother made but she decided she didn’t like so I glued “Feel Good” …I don’t know how I feel about mod podge on fabric though.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The flower drawing is a collagraph I made earlier this year, I didn’t let the paper soak for long enough so I decided to go over it with color pencil so the image would show. I am sending it as a postcard (it’s addressed and stamped on the back).</span></div>

So I have aquired a lot of new penpals after starting my snail mail blog on tumblr. I don't know how I am keeping track of everything seeing I am so disorganized. My life goal is to be organized but that will never happened. This is how my desk has looked for the past week...<br />

I have been busy working on our businesses this week since I finally got motivation to do stuff.<br />
<br />
I haven't worked on my mail this week but here is some of the incoming mail I received since my last post...<br />

Last week I went to the thrift store and found this book..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oMNlexh8kCw/T_-3mue99eI/AAAAAAAAAoM/2iQL47CgWPs/s1600/DSC09314.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oMNlexh8kCw/T_-3mue99eI/AAAAAAAAAoM/2iQL47CgWPs/s400/DSC09314.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
what a great book! i have never been such a to-do list making person because I have found it only gives me more anxiety when I see everything I have to do written down on paper. But the book also gives you a lot of DIY List Ideas too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I am going to get more into the list making mode.</div>

It was actually really nice. I don't know why we have never gone, it's literally 5 minutes away from my house. They also have a firework show inside the college but it's not free to we went up to Mt. Baldy to see all the fireworks in the IE. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having a holiday on a Wednesday really throws everyone off though. Today felt like Monday! At least it's Friday tomorrow. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I took out my mini sewing machine and made some envelopes. I hope the lace doesn't fall apart.</div>

I love waiting for the mail the day after a holiday, it's like twice as much mail!</div>

Does this count as the biggest postcard I have ever received? I think so! It's from Trick Sensei, a member of IUOMA I believe. He has motivated me to build my screen printing press....or should I say, motivated me to start pushing Tim to build it for me.</div>

So on my I Love Snail Mail tumblr (<a href="http://ilovesnailmail.tumblr.com/">http://ilovesnailmail.tumblr.com/</a>) I started a weekly postcard giveaway. Each Friday I will pick someone to send a postcard to. Very simple, just sign up and I'll randomly choose someone. </div>

Made a page on here just for that...(I've also added it on to my side panel)</div>

I decided to use some of the Bonjour Mon Nom Est labels for my mail. I am selling a pack of 5 labels <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/102997027/bonjour-mon-nom-est-labels-french-hello">here</a><br />
I know I'll probably end up using them all in the end lol.<br />
<br />
So today I received a Priority Box! My post man didn't think much of it since I always have weird things being delivered at my house. <br />
Here's the link to this project: <a href="http://www.fdlmstudio.com/PriorityBoxes.html">http://www.fdlmstudio.com/PriorityBoxes.html</a><br />

Irwin. We ended up getting lost inside Ft. Irwin and being were an hour late to our tour. It was so embarrassing but we ended up getting a private tour in the end. I guess it's really interesting if you're into that kinda stuff, we just went because my brother enjoys it.<br />
<br />
We got to go inside of it and in the tunnels.<br />

So aside from my very short/spontaneous road trip, I have been really good at keeping up with my incoming and outgoing mail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I received this from someone in Russia (was it from someone who reads this blog?). It was such a nice surprise. I love the leaf, it's hard to believe its autumn on the other side of the world right now.</div>

So even though I am still working very hard on my Mail Art 365 project, I am always interested in new <span style="font-family: inherit;">projects. I have come across this amazing mail project called <a href="http://dearteacherblog.wordpress.com/">Dear Teacher</a> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is like postsecret but with a twist! It is </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">"<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.3em;"> an ongoing mail art project offering people the opportunity to express feelings which often go unsaid between students and their teachers"</span></i></div>
<br />
<br />
They also have a tumblr!<br />

Most of the postcards, aside from the one with the kid and the moose (which are from a swapbot swap) are from my boyfriend's parents who went on a trip to Nevada this past week. They know I love postcards!<br />

I have been working on my outgoing mail so I don't have anything to show for it right now. However today I got to organize my room and got new shelves. I had everything on the floor and all over the place but I love how neat my room looks like now...I wonder how long it will last.</div>
<br />
All the boxes and photo albums are full with letters and postcards I have received since 2007!<br />
