Being part of this beautiful handmade community can only make you appreciate pretty packages and mail even more ..
I personally love to receive mail and send it… I love it when a little extra thought has been put into what you are receiving.
But letters are extra special, with so many alternative ways to communicate we often forget how we communicated before technology.
So, I thought it would be fun to host a Pen Pal Exchange..
It is open to everyone 
So here is what you need to do:
Leave me a comment with, your name, email address, blog URL (if you have one) , and if you would like to mail World Wide ? And lastly your country.
I am going to leave joining open until this THURSDAY 31st January.
I will then pair you up and send you an email over the weekend with your new pen pal !!!
All I ask is that you can then mail your letter out by 10th February.
And also, If you could try and write at least one side of letter paper..
If you would like to included a small gift too, no more than $10. This optional! You do not have to include anything with your pen pal ! ( just a thought I had )
Here is a little inspiration for small gift ideas 
That’s it!
Any questions please let me know, maybe we could make this a monthly thing ? We could swap partners or keep the same ?? Let me know your thoughts on that too
I also have a few letter sets in the shop too
Excited to be Pen Pals with one of you x

Do you happen to have an odd number and need one more person? I know I’m late, heck I didn’t even know you exsisted until I happen to be blog hopping around today and found you. I understand rules and deadlines so a day late is always a letter short but if you’re off by one just maybe you’d consider me.
Take care and God Bless!!
Hello Julie ,
Please could you leave your email address ? I have a pen pal for you

Hey girl. I didn’t reciece anything from you about my pen pal yet. And Sunday is the day to get something sent out by (well it’ll be Monday). Did I miss something or because I couldn’t follow the directions something got lost? I didn’t tell you I’d take anyone from anywhere’s or that I’m USA. Anyways, I’m waiting if still got a name for me, if not….I’ll be better next time, I promise.
Got a wonderful letter from Dana today
@ Claire: Thank you so much for hosting this:-)
Would love to join another swap…maybe a letter with a twist (top 10 quirks, strange questions…)
Love from Germany
Rebecca
Oh Gosh. I saw this too late!!!
Can I still join? I am from Malaysia and was surfing the net to find penpals – i miss the old-fashioned art of letter writing.
I live in Malaysia and don’t mind shipping anywhere in this world
I’m so disappointed to stumble on the post after it’s been closed. But there is hope…you said you might make this monthly. If you do, I would so love to have a pen pal!
