Penpals, anyone?

wehearit
One hobby I have that I love a lot is pen palling.  I first started years ago through my junior high French class and I've loved letter writing since.  There's nothing quite like checking your mail box and seeing a hand written letter just for you, and not bills and flyers.

I've noticed a lot of fellow bloggers do hand made trades via snail mail and such, so I thought...anyone want to write letters with me?  That would be pretty fun. 

So, is anyone up for some hand written letters?  Let me know!  I heart snail mail and mail art.  I don't want to write my address here, but send me an e-mail and we can get started that way...  eeegadserin (at) gmail (dot) com.

Oh, as well...if you are into hand made trades, Kelsey over at Artichoke Designs is starting up a craft swap group...check it out!  Should be fun. 

Ciao for now!

Hey! I was searching for "penpals" on google blogs and saw this!! lol ! Erin i would love to be your penpal! :D:D
yesterday I sent out an email to a penpal project but I saw the date and it was last year I don't know if they are emailing me hahaha
:D xoxo

I remember i had a penpal a looong time ago I loved it!

Lisa said...

Ah snail mail is great! I would love to but it'll be too expensive to mail to Canada from London unfortuntaley! Love your blog though! :)

First of all, I can't believe they write the things they write. So ridiculous.

Second, my mom got preggers with my youngest brother when she was on birth control AND had her tubes tied! So getting pregnant on birth control is actually pretty common. I'm not so much grumpy without them, just super emotional and it's annoying.

I was lucky enough that I went to the hospital before it burst, but it still was not a pleasant ordeal.

Erin D said...

LeeLee...Got your email! What are the odds?! Looking forward to writing with you!

Lisa...it does get pricey at times. I think the most I've spent was a shoebox of goodies to Finland...

Sunny...Haha, the wonders of Interpals! I'll message you on there :)

Mal...It is SUPER ridiculous what they write on there. For a long time I actually blocked men from contacting me on that site...but now with the Tumblr I welcome their stupid comments, mwahaha...I get super emotional too, like I cry at the drop of a hat. I hate it. And I'm glad you made it to the hospital before the appendix burst. Eeek, I don't even want to think about potential outcomes....

Bruno said...

Erin D said...

Mal...nope, we weren't offended at all! Takes a lot to grind our gears here!

Bruno...yay!! I'm super excited!
