of what began on a monday morning

[theminordetail]

here's my to-do list. i only got half of it done, but that's not to say it was an unproductive day. try writing your to-dos with a fountain pen and trick yourself into feeling compelled to finish everything.



i got a little sidetracked when i wrote this letter (on an envelope that i made myself using paper form my scrapbook stash and a muji envelope shaper).



i wanted to enclose some of my stickers in the letter, for more good vibes, but i couldn't find the most important relic of my childhood, my beloved sticker book.

naturally, i had to turn my room upside down. here's what i did find:







:: my old class cards, all of which i kept, and because i'm obsessed with order, they happened to be arranged from highest to lowest grade. note the kind of subjects i got a perfect score in tend to be those that involve a lot of "bull" (if i may say so myself), e.g. Philosophy.

:: magnetic ransom letters, from an old planner with a metallic cover that i sadly never used. i only wrote on one day, a sunday.

:: i did find some stickers - felt, glow-in-the-dark, hologram (this was, back then, my most prized sticker sheet), and prismatic - but these were some of my best ones and i didn't want to give them away. i now also remember that i'm missing scratch and sniff ones, and all the other quirky ones that i lovingly collected when i was a little girl.

:: letters from four years ago, by the sweet little sister of an ex-boyfriend.

I have to get to bed soon. I hope to send these out tomorrow! :)
