About Me




Hello! My name is Courtney i'm 23 years old and I live in IL with my husband Chandler. We have two doggies and love to go on walks with them. He is my number one best friend and supporter. 

 I started pen paling two years ago and fell in love with meeting new people and getting to know them. I love the idea of writing pen to paper and sending a letter than a text to someone. For a while I have been struggling with anxiety and depression, I found that writing letters to others was helping that darkness go away. I love anything pen pal related! 

 I also love to craft and been crafting since I was 5. I make anything and everything! But paper crafting is by far my favorite! I adore pocket letters and flip books, they are many things I like to make for my pen pals and swappie friends. 

 I love many things and will share a few things i hold close to my heart. I love tea, being outside, crafting, pen paling, writing, anything with lemons on them, anything cacti or plant related, Tiffany blue, The happy planner and collecting used/old postal stamps! 

 For a while now I thought about starting a blog and tell you many things I've learned from pen paling and sending snail mail along with crafting. 
I hope that you love this blog and share with your pen pals!

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...

What Is A Mail Tag?

What is a mail tag?  If you're new to pen pals and snail mail, you may have wondered what is a mail tag? A mail tag is simply a game played by pen pals in their letters! This mail tag starts off with one pen pal who writes out a list of questions they like to ask you. They will "tag" you to answer the list of questions, you than would "tag" them back asking different questions or the same questions they asked you!  The Mail Tag is usually written on paper, that could be decorated with washi, stickers, or they could even create a unique way to send the mail tag.  How many question can I ask?  you are able to ask as many as you want there is not limit, I tend to ask about 5-6 questions for my mail tag.  Mail Tag Questions There are many questions you can ask for your mail tag here I will list examples of things you can ask your pen pal! you can be as creative as you want with your questions!  If you could go anywhere ...

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. These letters could be self motivated, self love, quotes anything nice that someone may need. 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 ...
