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.
