Open Flourish | General Discussion / Re: Tips to Sending mail Internationally??

« on: August 22, 2014, 04:57:28 PM »

So, today i send my first letter and got a bit pissed of.... Maybe i did something wrong, but it really got me. I asked what kind of mailing options i had to send from Canada to the US, so i could see the prices and time to deliver. So, because i didn't want to pay 40$ so send a letter, i chose the second cheapest one, arround 9$. After i payed (and thought it wasn't cheap at all) she said i need to fill a costume border sheet. Really?? For a letter?.... Ok. And then she took a HUGE sticker (almos the size os the a7 envelope) and put it covering part of the calligraphy of the front!!!!! I asked her if that was normal, and she said yes, which i doubt...

So, what did i do wrong!? I'm pretty sure i don't have to fill border papers everytime i want to send a letter to someone i know. Please, give a hand. I will NOT let them ruin my mail....

Hi everyone,
I just moved to Canada. Yeeeey!!!
I'm very excited about everything i'll learn here with so many pros!
I started practicing last year and, to keep doing it, i have a bullet journal, where i organize and plan my activities. I do that using spencerian (but far from perfect). It helped me a lot. However, came across sooooo many beautiful samples in instagram (letters, cards, notes, quotes...) that they made me want to go deeper and improve. My instagram, in case you want to check it out is @ylr

I would like to know if any of you would give me the pleasure of being my penpall. I think it's probably one of the best ways to learn... And the pressure too 

thanks!!!!!!!!
Yuri Rosa
