Summer time has always been my favorite season. I simply couldn’t ask for more – sunshine, cheerful people, the seaside and the cool breeze and lots of happy memories just waiting to happen. I always wanted to go an extra mile for the summer issues and make them feel special. That is why we choose to host the Sandbook Mega Giveaway over the last couple of weeks and to announce the winners in this issue. We are also trying out a new layout of the pages with the intention to bring more style and fashion in our pages. Additionally, we have two surprises for you in this issue – a coupon for free shipping all summer long from our friends at Letter Parade (see interview for more details) and the news of a really amazing giveaway hosted by Laura and the Moonstone Shop (see her pages in this magazine for more information). Last, but not least, we tried to come up with interesting articles from the world of penpalling and correspondence.
Hopefully by next year by this time, we’d be able to present to you our magazine in a paper format that you can carry in your beach bag and enjoy while sunbathing! Don’t forget the sunscreen!
I hope this issue brings you much joy!"
Yours truly,
Raia from the Sandbook.Net Team

"The sun is shining and the thoughts are occupied with summer plans! Yes, indeed, after a long wait the summer is here and we need to plan for the vacation time. Where do you plan to spend the summer holiday? Are you willing to be our eyes and ears this summer? If yes, pick up your camera and keep notes on the best moments/places you visit. We’d love to read about them and publish any photos that you would like to share. That way we will be able to travel to multiple locations without asking for additional days off work! Don’t forget the sun screen, stay hydrated and enjoy this awesome summer!"

| Angels by Samantha Stroy, booklet 3 |
Due to troubles in the communication with two of our authors, whose articles are not published in this issue, the April’s edition of our magazine is way overdue! Therefore, the Sandbook.Net Team developed an addition to our policy regarding articles: once the article is approved and scheduled for publication, authors cannot edit the article or change the publication date. This new rule will allow us to release the magazines promptly. There is nothing else left to say, but: Happy Easter with lots of mail in your mailbox!". Enjoy the booklet number 3, called Angels.
