I love receiving mail! I still remember the letter I wrote to my first pen pal. I was so excited but at the same time unsure what to write or to do! I did some quick research on social media and saw how others carefully put together bits and pieces of lovely things into beautiful packages waiting to surprise their receivers.

Early in September, I placed an order for a hobonichi techo original and a hobonichi techno weeks (yay! It’s my first time). I did not only get a 2019 book for...
