Finally back in the realm of modern communications! YAY! After a very stressful 12 days without a connection to the online world & numerous phone calls to "support" teams - I can finally bring you all up to date with the happenings of my world - cool huh!

At the End of April we bundled up & jumped on a plane to head to New Zealand to visit my Very Sick Grandma - we Spent 6 days Between the hospital & her home so I had plently of time to send some postcards to some special people :) I also had time to finish the "memory book" my Grandma & I have so enjoyed doing together - with 96 years under her belt she has some pretty amazing stories to tell! She is doing a bit better now but needs full time care, it's hard when you can't be there all the time.. (The last photo is a little bit of a trick of the shadows - I look about 9 months pregnant! I am not!)

International Harry Potter Day was May 2nd - I did my bit! -- Ravenclaw for life! <3 have you checked out the new "Pottermore"  Auhhmuzing!

It is truly amazing the amount of Stuff you can do when you have been cut of from the modern world (okay that's a little bit dramatic!) - I dug out my watercolours & graph paper and made some pretty new sheets of writing paper! yay!

I also found my old supply of embroidery thread and made these super cute (&&super easy!) fishtail friendship bracelets <3

I Had a bit of time over the holidays to put scissors to paper & create some pretty new garlands - you can find them over at my Etsy store -- Papered Thoughts

My Airmail Collection is slowly growing - Aren't they just so pretty!

Inspired by the wonderful girls over at "more love letters" I sent a little love note to the lovely "Little Paper Lane"

And now for the part you've all been waiting (extra patiently!) for :) - but before I show you all the beautiful things that found their way into my mailbox these last few weeks I have a little announcement - Sadly I have become so busy that I am finding it hard to reply to all your beautiful letters - so I will say this, I am doing my best but there may be a delay in reply.. I still would love to recieve anything you want to send but you'll need to be patient with me! I also do try to publish everything I recieve/send but sometimes some slip through the cracks..
