2020 Update!

Hello! Happy Wednesday!  I feel like it's been a really long time since I made a blog post! Life has been very busy for me!  In November 2019, My husband and I went on a trip for our honeymoon in Jamaica! It was wonderful there. Everyone was super nice and it was also very nice to be able to be lazy for a week and sip on some coconut rum! We also got to enjoy Jamaica's sunsets, I don't think I've seen anything more beautiful! The food! The food was amazing, we tried many new things. I'll be sure to share some photos!  Now that we are in the end of March 2020, I'm going to be more active with posting snail mail/crafty/recipe post! Along with something new I thought would be good new for you snail mailers, In January 2020 I open my own Facebook group to make and sell address, please deliver to labels, stationery, envelopes and pen pal kits. Since the virus going around right now I had to put a spot to my printing and my printer broke :( but I have came up with...

Million Little Letters Project

Hello there! Happy Wednesday  💌 ☕️ 📓 I’ve been reading a book called “if you find this letter” when I created million little letters group was supposed to be about sending letters to others to cheer them up, u til it fell back into a pen pal group. And that’s fine! I’m so happy that everyone is finding pen pals and writing letters! The whole purpose of that group is to write letters and meet new people. But I want to pick back up on this project that I once started.  My challenge to you is start writing  little letters and place them in random public places like: coffee shops, Book stores, library, doctors offices etc. just anywhere that you could tuck or pin on a bulletin board.

Finding these million little letters will make someone’s day.  Please join me in the project I would love to see where you hid your little letters! Post a picture! Leave here in the ...

Pocket Letters A & Q

I started Pocket Letters when I got into pen paling in 2017 and loved it so much! Today I’ll be teaching you how to make them and what you need. So let’s get started!  What's a Pocket Letter? Pocket Letters are a new way to send letters to your new or existing penpals. It's a penpal letter in pocket format. Basically, you fill all the pockets of a 9 Pocket Trading Card Protector and send the whole page to someone who wants to swap with you. This can be a one-time exchange or you can keep exchanging Pocket Letters. You fill the pockets with anything you like (stickers, tea bags, a note, washi tape samples, pictures, die cuts, charms,etc.) A short note or letter is included and tucked into one of the pockets. Then the Pocket Letter is folded up and sent in an envelope. It's the perfect way to send and collect letters from other Pocket Letter Pals (ie people who are sending mail in this format) around the world and a convenient way to store them. They fit...
