Pen Pals

I have really amassed quite the collection of stationary and stickers.  I've spent years hoarding cute paper items and I've finally started sharing the love!  Now I may end up slightly in over my head with taking on new pen pals, because I don't actually have a ton of spare time, but for now I have been having fun writing letters and sending out little packages of handmade and thrifted goodies.  Most of my pen pals are ladies I've met through Instagram, but I've recently signed up for two different pen pal groups.  The first is International Geek Girl Pen Pals.  I actually just got paired up with my second pen pal from this site.  I've exchanged one letter with my match from last month and plan on writing her a second letter soon.  The second is a bit different.  It's a foodie pen pal program!  You can read more about it here.  This is my first month doing this one and I haven't actually sent out or received my box yet.  I plan on sending a few local goodies and maybe a favorite recipe.  Do any of you have pen pals?

  3. When I was pre-teen, I put my pen pal wanted ad in and boy, did I get penpals, from all over the world, I still have one of the original gals, I even met her a few years ago. But now we communicate through emails and texts and the odd phone call, letters are few and far between. Good luck on letter writing!
