Before I begin Alot of my lovely penpals have been asking where I find my Penpals.. It has taken me alot of frustration, searching (&a few years) but I have found that these are my Favourite Websites to FIND a Penpal - (I will be doing a post later in the week about my Favourite Letter/Mail Blogs)
- Pen Pal of The week!- Beautiful Site with TONS of Penpal Ads & Interviews.. Very Easy to use & Pretty Looking! My Pen Pal Ad :)
- Send Something - It is quite plain & Doesn't look to Spectacular.. but the concept really is! I have met so many wonderful penpals on here! Give it a go! My Profile // Sisters Profile (Please send her Surprise Letters!)
- Good Mail Day - The "Good Mail Day" 2012 Call for Correspondents is a great place to find Penpal Ads from all over the world + Put your own up!
So those are the Three sites I am using at the moment - If you have anymore Please let me know!
This very Spectacular & Special Parcel Arrived from my Wonderful Penpal Paul! (wait till you see the letter!) - Handpainted & Very pretty - I now have to come up with a very creative way to send my package back! Any Ideas?
The AMAZING Letter from Paul - Every bit is Hand cut!
A Pretty Letter from Misty!
A Sparkly letter from Miss Courtney - Her Penpal Ad was just featured on Penpal Of the week! You should definately Write her!
a Lovely Letter from Nora! (Such a pretty name!)
Another Fab letter from LR (Who I met via Send Something )
I felt very spoilt when this pretty package arrived from none other than the wonderful Bubbles at "Make mine a Mail Day" - Inside were these beautiful Embroidery Hoops MAIL Themed :) Thankyou Bubbles!
A Wonderful Postcard from Deedee who found me via Good Mail Day she has a wonderful stationery store too - Teo Stationery
Some lovely Postcards! Holly visted NYC & Wrote me from there :) 
And some WONDERFUL news - My Mailbox arrived! After 36 Days in the Post it finally got here safe & Sound!
Some pretty Handmade envelopes on there way to some lovely Penpals!
Some more Pretty Pink letters!
I Had a Bit of Spare time yesterday So I decided to get back to Basics & get stuck into Some Mail Art! I created these Envelopes with Watercolours then dug out my Ephemera Box & Went to work!
I Also put these Fantastical envelopes in plastic sheaths to mail As I did not want the watercolour to get wet & Run!
Well that is all for Another Week of Mail! Thankyou all for supporting & Reading my Blog & All the wonderful Letters you Send! I am Still looking for lovely People who would write to my Mum or Sister! - Click HERE for more information!
Very nice Rin, on another note - stuff to mum and sis on its way :)
ReplyDeleteLove your envelopes and I refreshed my mind about penpalling. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYay! You used some of the goodies I sent you! They all look so lovely!
ReplyDeleteHello Rin! I read your comment on obscure possum - and a letter sounds truly lovely! It will be nice to have someone local to write to (extremely expensive to send overseas, no?) Would you mind emailing me (emmanobel@hotmail.co.nz) your email address so I could give you my street addresses? I couldn't find something resembling an email addy anywhere on your site, although not for lack of stalking (!) Hope to talk soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful everything ^^
ReplyDeleteOooh that big pile of mail makes me inspired! And I love your handmade envelopes - gorgeous! I think I will spend this evening writing letters myself. :)

All your mail is lovely (your incoming as well as your outgoing), but I'm especially impressed by Paul's letter! Does he have a blog by any chance? I've never heard of him before, but he seems to be quite talented at mail art! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for mentioning my blog <3
