So glad to have found your blog.
I'm think...Hi! So glad to have found your blog.<br />I'm thinking about having a penpal and write a snail mail.. <br />But I don't know how to start, but writing to family or friends is just a no no, because they don't do that anymore, we usually just text, email or phone. <br />I might want to start with someone new :) Jeanne M.

I love looking at all these delicious mail pics, and I wanted to jump in, but really, I had never thought to write to my own friends! Sounds silly, doesn't it? Right now, I know just the friend who is absolutely deserving of a thank you letter in the post :) Candicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659284360564789262.post-72479328037111354082013-11-16T18:50:48.074-05:002013-11-16T18:50:48.074-05:00Hi, Merissa!

It's been a fun creative endeavor using Instagram to document the mail I send and receive. Would definitely love to see you on there more often.

I try to keep it in check, but it can definitely be addicting. It's been a great way to meet people, though! <br /><br />Can't wait to check out Penpal of the Week!

And I don't have an Instagram account, I'm afraid I'd be too addicted and spend way too much time on that website, but it's a good idea to look for penpals there!<br /><br />Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135105553937430517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659284360564789262.post-66604997524119308112013-11-03T06:54:32.717-05:002013-11-03T06:54:32.717-05:00Such a good post - loved reading how you got start...Such a good post - loved reading how you got started!

Sometimes I stamp directly on the envelope and sometimes I stamp on label paper and cut it out to make an adhesive label. It's a great stamp--good quality and so fun to use! amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703296223168578047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659284360564789262.post-81991570531261897922013-11-02T05:03:38.931-04:002013-11-02T05:03:38.931-04:00Thank you so much for adding to this, Rehana.

One of the best things about living in Japan is being able to 'write home' I've written more than I've skyped. Being so busy and at times lonely (alone in anew country as well as living alone) writing has been a great creative outlet.

As an adult, getting mail isn't as fun anymore. But making it pretty & writing to friends/penpals is a way to bring back the fun! Thank you for sharing! I'm definitely going to get started on writing my own letters! :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356724171508345765noreply@blogger.com
