About mail and a butterfly

I received two envelopes today! 

One is a Swap-bot swap from Germany,

two bags of tea for my mom, but I had the 

pleasure of finding them in the mail. 

The tea smelled really sweet by the way

This is a letter from my pen-friend Kasia.

As you can see, the cat was curious and ended up on the pic too.

And this is a butterfly made from German

flower stamps. I never thought it would come out

so well, I am really happy with the result.
