If you ordered something from La Papierre or received a letter from me in 2013, chances are you saw my new personalized stamps on the envelope. They were a present from my mom – I designed the stamps online at Canada Post, my dear mommy paid for them and they were delivered to me just in time for my birthday.

They were made with photos I took of my heart shaped sushi, Sphynx cats, Bengal cat and favorite Smurf:

Has anyone else ever ordered personalized stamps before? Can you do that in every country?

Hello darlings! I hope everyone had a great week. Mine was lovely – we had 45 centimeters of snow a few days ago and now we have a huge mound of snow in the backyard! It’s probably at least 15 feet tall. Louis-Justin and I have a lot of fun sliding together…

We also spent some quality time inside, playing board games, watching movies (Ponyo yesterday), reading… Even Arnaud likes to read, apparently!

I haven’t written one single letter so far, but I’m hoping to at least finish my novel to Laura next week. And then maybe I can finally start writing back to Jessica, Sandra and Lisa who have been waiting for a reply since November!

Thanks to everyone who voted in my last poll. Only 144 people did, but I know that it wasn’t such an exciting topic for you guys. Here are the results anyway!

Thanks in advance for voting!

If any of you have to deal with emotional issues right now or struggle with their mental health and would like to talk about it to a penpal who can relate, Lady Kayy is still looking for participants for her Deep Letters Correspondence Project. I’m sure it could be great for anyone who’s not feeling too well and needs someone to confide in.

Well, time for fun in the snow with my little guy! I’m looking forward to the UFC with my friends tonight… What are your plans for the weekend? See you tomorrow!
