PenToPaperUS review/snail mail kit! Jazz hands

Hello! How are you doing today? I hope you’re doing amazing 🙂

Today, I’m here with another review!

This is one of my favorites, and I can’t wait to show y’all! The wonderful and lovely Dana from her Etsy shop PenToPaperUS kindly sent me a pen pal kit and I adore it!

First of all, Dana was a pleasure to work with, she was so willing to collaborate and sent the product out very fast. Second, the product is amazing!

This is what Dana sent me! Everything was packaged beautifully and it came with such a cute note! I received the jumbo travel kit, which sadly isn’t on her shop right now but there are tons more, and they’re all just as cute!

as a thank you, Dana sent me this and ahhhh it’s so so cute! I can’t wait to use it. Any suggestions on what I should use it for?

Unwrapped out of the tissue paper, here’s the kit!!!!! Doesn’t it just make your inner pen pal heart happy?!

LOOK AT IT. Just take a moment and look. It should make you happy. It made me so happy. The kit included some lined paper, a couple envelopes, a pen, some travel themed cards, a couple travel themed images, a postcard, some washiest tape samples, some little cards and string samples, some paper clips and other clips, a couple little cut outs, and a tea bag. SO MUCH BEAUTIFULNESS 🤩

Next, a closeup of the travel themed images! These are all so cute and they’re perfect for decorating envelopes, using in journals and so much more. I just used the one with all the word to decorate an envelope the other day and I also sent my friend one! I think they are adorable and I love them 🤩

I received this super cool looking pen also, and I know this is a little weird to note but it’s such good quality! It’s made of like metal and so it’s really heavy duty feeling.

Last but not least, here’s a closer picture of some of the “accessories”! We’ve got these ADORABLE little tags which are so handy for washi tape samples and some paper clips and plain clips. Theres also two string samples which are really fun, I’ve never done this before! And the LITTLE ENVELOPE 🥰 Isn’t it the cutest?!

that’s all! I adore this kit, and I give it a 10/10. Everything is really good quality, which is a huge plus and the kit is really affordable. Make sure to go check out dana’s shop, she’s the sweetest and I love the reason why she started her shop ❤

Check out Dana’s shop here!

Thank you so so much Dana, for agreeing to collaborate with me, I appreciate it so much!

anyways, that’s all for today! I hope you have a lovely day and I hope you enjoyed this post!

Quick life update & giveaway question, I need your help! Points at you

Hello Lovelies! How are you doing today? I hope you’re doing great 🙂

Today I mainly did some school, I worked on debate, logic, and science. I have my first debate of the year on Thursday so please pray for me! I’m scared because I don’t do well in debate. I’m growing some beans for science and surprise, they’re actually growing!! I’m pretty amazed at my skills, I don’t have much of a green thumb. But I’m thinking maybe I should give plants more of a try. What plants are the easiest to grow?!

okay, onto the second part of my post! GUYS!!! I’m almost at 300 followers! Ahh *faints* you guys are awesome and I can’t believe my blog has grown that much! To show my appreciation to you guys, I want to do a giveaway. I really truly deeply want to make it international but I don’t know if I’ll be able too, due to cost. Any suggestions on how I could do that? I know a good bit of my favorite blogging buddies live outside of the US and I want to make the giveaway available for them. So I’m trying to work something out for that! And the real question (and reason I’m posting this): Would y’all rather a fall themed giveaway or a journal/stationary/pen pal-y themed giveaway? Lemme know by doing the survey please because I don’t know!! They both sound cool to me :)) Also, I think I have 292 followers, so we’re only 8 follows away from the giveaway!

Click here to do the survey!

Tomorrow I have a review post coming up so make sure to keep your eyes open for that!

So, that’s my question. I hope you had a lovely day, remember ur awesome and God loves you ❤

My favorite 5 worship songs sings along as best I can

Hello lovelies! How are you doing today? I hope your doing wonderful ❤

I’m having a good day, I’m happy and content right now. In regards to my last post, the fires aren’t moving towards us anymore! Thank you guys so much for all the prayers.

Anyways, today I’m back with another type of post, one I haven’t done before! A top five post!! *Jazz hands* I’m a Christian and I absolutely love worship songs, they’re calming and beautiful and it’s praising God! So without further ado, here are my top 5 faves!

*Also, these are my current favorites, the list is always changing but these are the ones I’m loving rn 🙂

Famous For (I Believe) – Tauren Wells, Jean Johnson

“Shut the mouths of lions
Bring dry bones to life and
Do what You are famous for
What You are famous for
I believe in You, God
I believe in You“

I love this part in the song ❤

2. Spirit lead me- Micheal Ketterer & Influence Music

“If You say “it’s wrong”, then I’ll say “no”
If You say “release”, I’m letting go
If You’re in it with me, I’ll begin
And when You say to jump, I’m diving in
If You say “be still”, then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
I don’t wanna follow my own ways
I’m done chasing feelings
Spirit lead me”

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. I heard it at youth group back at the beginning of the year before everything shut down and it’s remained one of my favorites!

3. Well Done- The Afters

“Well done, well done
My good and faithful one
Welcome to the place where you belong
Well done, well done
My beloved child”

this one is so sweet and I love to wonder what will it be like when we get to Heaven? How will I react?! Crazy to think about but ahh I love this song so much <33

4. Way Maker- Leeland

“You are
Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper
Light in the darkness
My God, that is who You are”

This is a more popular song that I just started listening to this year but I love it. It’s got some really good words and I love the music. Also the chorus is the best thing everrrr.

5. Nobody Loves Me Like You do- Chris Tomlin

“Morning, I see You in the sunrise every morning
It’s like a picture that You’ve painted for me
A love letter in the sky”

“Nobody loves me like You love me, Jesus
I stand in awe of Your amazing ways
I worship You as long as I am breathing
God, You are faithful and true
Nobody loves me like You”

K, we got two verses that I really love from this song. The first one is right at the beginning and I love it. Sunrises are really an under appreciated thing in my mind, they’re so amazing and special and I feel bad because I hardly ever get up and actually put in effort to see the wonderful, beautiful, unique start to our day. And for the second “verse?” It’s just the chorus and like you can imagine, I love it. It’s so true ❤

And that’s that! Those are some of my favorites atm, my top 5! Of course, I love music and I especially love worship so I could go on and on listing some favorites and so if you enjoyed, I could do another?

This was a really fun and relaxing post to write, Basically I just listened to all these songs and typed whatever I wanted to about them?! So I enjoyed it 🙂 I hope you enjoyed also ❤

Have a lovely lovely weekend!! I think I’ll post on Monday, so until then, peace out! ✌🏻

remember: God loves you, and He’s got this.

xx, Jasmin

Prayer request: UPDATE smiles

8/9/20

Hey guys. Today I’m just popping in to write a quick little note and ask a favor of y’all. Where I live is currently on fire, not my home but the state. There is currently a fire within 10-ish miles of my house, maybe even closer. The fire’s been burning since yesterday morning and we’ve been living in smoky conditions since Monday. In the picture above you can see the smoke. Tonight we were issued a level 2 evacuation. There’s three levels, the first is to know a danger is close and exists, second is to be packed and be ready to leave at a moments notice, and three is to get out, leave! So yeah, currently we’re packed up, ready to evacuate. We’re just waiting for the call.

I wanted to hop on my blog and say hi, I hope you’re having a great day! And also to ask for prayers 🙂 I’m not trying to get pity or anything like that, I’m just a bit scared at the thought that my house could burn down. Packing and deciding what to take and what to leave (and possibly never get back) was hard.

So, in conclusion, please pray if you can. I’d appreciate it. A lot of houses and families are probably hurting tonight. And prayers for all the EMT workers that are on scene, we’re so grateful for them ❤

Thank you so much, I’ll try to keep you guys updated.

UPDATE: 8/11/20

Hello lovelies! Wanted to update y’all, and let you know that our situation hasn’t changed much. We’re still on level two evacuation order, so be ready to go at a moments notice. We never got the call for level three and honestly, I don’t expect it. The fire has slowed along with the wind and I believe that they’re starting to fight it from the sky today with airplanes and helicopters and more crews of firefighters are arriving this morning to provide backup. Our neighbor is a firefighter and he says that he doesn’t think the fires will reach anywhere near our house. Of course, anything is possible. But God’s got this. Thank you so so much for all your prayers, they’re much appreciated. Stay safe and have a lovely day,

xx, Jasmin
