Why I Started Million Little Letters Blog

Hello Loves!

Welcome! here I'll explain why I started Million Little Letters Blog!

For months I thought about starting a pen pal and crafty blog but had no idea how where to even start. It took me five blogging sites to find one that I was comfortable with to start out with. This was getting really frustrating until I found Blogger.com!

I'm new at this so called "blogging world" so I know that my blog will not be 100% correct but hey that's who I am! I learn from my mistakes (lol) who doesn't. I do however have a learning disability so my grammar and spelling and whatever the hell else won't be correct. PLEASE take your RUDE comments out of here :)

Anyways! I wanted to share with my readers of this blog for my love of writing snail mail to others. I started writing two years ago when I was on Facebook looking for a crafty swap group. As I was looking, I came across a Pen Pal Ladies Only group. When I was 10 years old I wanted to have a pen pal so bad. I remember asking my step mom if she could find me one and we never did. So two years ago I ended up joining this group, and I can't tell you how many amazing women I've met through that Facebook group. It has helped me with my anxiety and depression so much that it made me feel so much better.

I wanted to start Million Little Letters Blog for new readers to learn about the pen pal world and for other readers who have been in the pen pal world for a long time to read about tips and tricks for pen paling and other crafty things that I write about!

I hope that you join me in this journey that I've started with this blog!

Xox,

Courtney

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...
