I have always, always, ALWAYS valued handwritten letters since 3rd grade. At that time before I ever discovered the convenience and speed of instant messaging an emails, I sent letter to friends at school. We exchanged cute stationary and stickers, and it was always fun. Even after my 3rd grade friend moved to Colorado, because I could still exchange letters with her, it was still a heartfelt thing to do. I love to write letters by hand.
I stopped eventually because my mom would always say "Why don't you just email!! It doesn't cost stamps!!" when I ask her for some stamps to mail letters. But now I really want to send them, and not just to Rurun. XD <33
In any case... Onto the surprise! It's a cuuuut. 8D

IS THIS ADORABLE OR WHAT? EVEN MY SISTER GOT JEALOUS. She wants a penpal, too. Buwahah.
Really really love that curl right there in Tsuyo's hair. *Sorry if it's kind of creepy that I pay attention to details like that*

And you can see the back. =D Have I ever mentioned how much I love both Sankaku (did I get the name right?) and Koichi's emblem? IT'S GOOD TO HAVE SYMBOLS/IMAGES/WAHTNOT THAT ARE LIKEABLE. Otherwise I won't remember it. XD

Waaaah, you draw side profiles so well. @_@ I have trouble with it every now and then! HAIR LOOKIN' GOOD STILL. (X!

Omg, how did you know I was crazy about Koichi's card tricks?! 8D I want to pick that Ace card right there. XD


I want to use this bookmark so badly but I'm afraid of losing it. I have a stupid habit of returning the book with my bookmark in it. @_@;; It's even laminated/protected, Hika-palm-proof! (My palm tend to sweat, groooossssss)
I thought I should take apicture using a camera so it retains its natural appearance as I received it like Gally did, but the only camera I have is my phone and moving pictures from the phone to the computer takes a lot more effort than scanning. @_@
I'm going to scrutinize hard at how she drew Tsuyo because I have no idea how to draw him. THAT's WHY I'VE NEVER TRIED. She makes him look really cute though, I don't think I can match up!!
Also, RuRun, if you're reading this, thank you sooo much. I was really happy when I got this. I really really love your art! I was devastated when I saw your envelope didn't have a return address, but eee, you put it inside. I will definitely write back when I get the time. I must also think of some ideas to draw for you, and I will definitely work to get out of this semi-art slump I'm in! XD
