Outgoing letter to my penpal from France, super proud of this one!

[novashelby]

I would like to share a hobby of mine with you

***None of the letters above are my own

*Not my photo ------> If you are writing first, I would stick to 2-3 pages. Tell them the most important/interesting things about you. Also, it is important to ask questions as well.

*I do not own this image

---------> Extras are not mandatory. Pen paling strictly means pen friend. Meaning, the letter you write. However, you can add fun extras. I would actually stick away from seeds(environmental regulations) and perfume(allergies).

How to find a pen pal? There are many different sites and groups where you can find pen pals. I have been pen paling for almost 15 years! I have a box of letters from all around the world. Some people I still talk to and unfortunately some are only fond memories. However, I occasionally look back on them and smile.

Here are some great sites: Global Penfriends-This site does a wonderful job in limiting sketchy people/scamming. However, you are only allowed one message every 12 hours. That being said, if you have it to spare, for $15 dollars you can get 10 snail mail credits. :) So, you can search through your filters and pick 10 people to write to and you just send them a letter.

Students of the World-Very 90's like, but I find it to be a very safe option for younger people. Great if you are learning French as it is French owned.

Pen Pal World-Also great at limiting scammers and fakes. Though you are only allowed 5 messages every so many hours.

Hi!Pen Pal-Also a bit glitchy, but since it is Korean owned(I think) it is great for finding pen pals from Asia!

There are groups on Facebook as well: Worldwide Snail Mail Pen Pals Snail Mail Worldwide Pen Pals Ladies Only

*I would personally stay away from Interpals. I have found good friends on there, but I have also been stalked/harassed.

A week late with a coffee from a local brewery, I finally manage to post this!

My lovely Valentine's Mail from @aigoos arrived!!! Love the format of the pictures, which will definitely go into my journal! Especially the Hanami scene is so peaceful, I adore looking at it!

Thank you again, dear! It made my day!!!

Thank you.

It's over and done. "Dear Penpal, Belgium 1980" earned $8000 and hit 2 stretch goals. Thank you everyone. So much. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Recent incoming from my penpal Beatriz (@beatrizjournal) whom I've met here. I'm so thankful to be the receiver of this cute letter and I'm very excited to reply although it'll take a long time.

[Image Description: A photo of a collection of items for a penpal letter on a wooden desk. there is an origami crane, set of 4 cat stickers, some blue sticky notes, 3 plant stickers, some memo sheets that are blue with rainbow designs, a small doodle of two cats in a green frame, a piece of paper with "Cunk On Earth" Quotes, and in the middle there is a folded letter with the name Coral spelled out using stickers with a cat sticker next to it. END ID]

This is a letter for my friend, Coral! Sending it out on Monday :D Been a while since I've done aesthetic penpaling, but it is quite enjoyable!
