I really can't wait to read her answer. Could be more excited.
Some good advise and wishes of a lovely week.

I really enjoyed reading her presentation letter. She seemed really spontaneous and funny, telling me how it was nice to get mail that didn't have the purpose of billing anything. She told me a little about her days and hobbies, and even decorated her letter in a very cute way. I really wanted to send her something really special in return, so I did this handmade postcard so that she'll never forget to be smiley, funny and spontaneous everyday of her life. Unfortunatelly, I never got any other answer from her, but I'm hoping she loved it and cared about it, in spite of everything.
Outgoing mail for dear Marta Vicente, in Portugal
She was one of the very first subscribers of this project, and was really excited of being a part of it. Until today, I feel I disappointed her. But I'll tell you the story.
Well, she was really sweet and cared to send me such kind words that I really wanted to reply her letter. Also, she made me a challenge, too. As some of you might already know, I usually send these little challenges/surprise tasks that I hope that people accomplish and share with us what was they're experience, what they felt, etc. This time, she sent me hallenges, aswell. She wanted me to photograph a couple of themes she gave to me, and then, I'd have to tag them with cute tags she cared to make me. Once that was ready, I was supposed to give away he photograghs.
After a couple of days I realised I've taken really inthimate pictures, that would not have any meaning for those who don't atually know me. So, I've decided to start it all over.
But life happened, and somehow, I haven't done it yet. But I will!
Anyways, I really hope she’ll enjoy these handmade treasures that I spent a lving afternoon making. I can only hope she'll like it!
This letter and postcard are for Jane, in Australia. I really wanted to give her something that was about my country, so I chose this postcard about Fado, a very typical type of music.
My first sending for Denisa. She really wanted this postcard I made, inspired on Wuthering Heights. Also I sent some granny homegrown tea. I’m glad it made her happy!
Outgoing mail filled with love and care to spread. Hope it’ll all arrive safe and sound.
Your word travels the entirety of space and reaches my cells which are my stars then goes to yours which are my light.

I love how dear Jane uses paper marbling to make colourful pieces like the envelope she used to pack all the beautiful things she cared to send me.
There’s a ticket with an inspiring message wich says:
“Lift up, because look at all you have. Galaxies of glitter floating three-sixty around you.”
I was amazed by “The ruined piano sanctuary” and it’d definetly be one of those places I’d love to visit someday!
The lovely letter I got from dear Bárbara, a portuguese girl from Oliveira de Azeméis.
She was so funny, clever but joyfull like a grown-child. She seemed really happy to be a part of my project, and she cared to send me a contribuition for my kind of handmade book, that is filled with poems, illustrations and such, from people all around the world thant kindly explored the theme "dreams".
I could not be happier when I received this beautiful and unique piece from her, using a Ghandi's quote that states: "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean: if a few drops of that ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."
With love,

Have you ever wondered about how many days have you tossed into the trash procrastinating at all levels? I say it, because it was my understanding humans could easily procrastinate pretty much anywhere. So my tip today is to go out and enjoy the sky, the people, the trees and the birds singing. Procrastinate if you want, but surround yourself with beauty.
I’m completely and deeply in love with the beautiful postcards Denisa from Czech Republic sent me. She cared to send me some roasted artisan coffee, a bag of apple/cinnamon tea and a bag of sugar for my collection. Loved her letter, she is so sweet and genuine.
This was sent to me by Marta V., from Portugal. It’s always a big leasure to write in my own language. She cared to send me this beautiful poem by Herberto Helder (portuguese poet) and also, she got inspired by the challenge tickets I send to my penpals, so she made a challenge to me (wich I’m pretty excited to accomplish!). She gave me 7 sentences that will lead me to 7 photographs. Delightful!
I immediately fell in love with this Dr. seuss envelope Bahanur sent, but couldn’t be more happy after reading her words while tasting that awesome black tea. This girl spoils me, but in a good way of course.
This was all sent from Weronica, in Poland. I was really happy when I got her letter. She was super nice, and cared to send me an handmade postcad aswell. And handmade postcards are the best!
A contribution for my project from Bernhard Zilling, in Germany.
This is a very special letter for me, since I thought I’d never going to be able to read it. It took a while to make our letters reach each other, but finally we could start building the bridge between us. Bahanur is such a minded and good person. Definetly one of those person’s I’d like to share a cup of tea and hours of interesting conversation. We have several things in common (like our love for the art of cinema) so it’s really exciting to meet such a wonderful young lady.
Claudia from Barcelona sent me this cute envelope with such treasures inside. As you might know my love for photography is impossible to quantify. So, everytime I get these photo postcards in my mailbox, I’ll surely have a brighter day. Even better if they take me back to a beautiful inspiring place as Barcelona. It was a pleasure meeting this girl a little more.
Amazing contribution for my project sent by the sweet Anna Beach from Ohio, USA. She really nailed this thing, and proved that the simple things are always the prettiest. Also, she added a note on the back of the page wich says:
“Dreams are so essential to the soul… much as life, air or water are to the body. People may tell you to quit dreaming, to live in the real world. Never forget that many of the most beautiful things in this real world were once someone’s unrealistic dreams.”
Thank you so much for this.
Incoming mail from lovely people.
