Mail in All its Different Forms!

After exams, I spent the week resting from all the hard work I had done during the semester. I baked cookies, drank hot chocolate, (pictured above!) practiced photography, and caught up on sleep!   However, school soon started up again, and I now I am as busy as ever. A couple weeks ago, a parcel arrived for me in the mail. My lovely aunt in Hawaii had gotten me a new camera!

A couple days later, I received from my cousin in Hong Kong some lovely airmail inspired stationary. Oh she knows me so well!

Speaking of mail, please check my tumblr for some posts regrading the snail mail I send and receive! The link is at the top of this page. I am still new to the whole idea of pen pals, but I am loving it so far and would love some more pen pals!

Love,
Charlotte

24 Things to Do Before 25

      Inspired by Sewon's list and Marlou's list, (click their names to view their lists!) I decided to create my own list of things I would like to do before I turn twentyfive. It's nice to have little goals in life. I think that without their existence, many people wouldn't be where they are today. That said, I often set goals for myself in life, but never end up accomplishing them. Perhaps this time, by setting some more short term goals and making a list, I will be able to complete them! Now, without any further wait, here are the twenty-four things I want to have done before I turn twenty-five!

1. Start a teacup collection
2. Host an afternoon tea
3. Host a dinner party

4. Volunteer in a third world country
5. Attend a yoga retreat outside of Canada
6. Stay at a hostel during one of my travels

7. Sew together a stuffed animal
8. Exchange letters with my penpals for years to come
9.Complete my sketchbook

10. Grow my own herbs
11. Remake a pastry from my Laduree recipe book
12. Bake a loaf of bread

13.Visit an antiques market
14.Fold an origami rose
15.Knit something

16.Make a terranium
17.Publish a zine about teacups
18.Publish a zine about stars

19.Learn Elvish
20.Visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
21.Finish a videogame

22.Go stargazing with people I love
23.Improve my photo-taking skills
24.Keep a blog

And a little bonus: Climb Mt.Fuji in time to watch the sunrise from its peak!
