Snail Mail
So I know it has been a long time since I have put anything up here other then my photos but I have been very busy with my intensive French class (which I am loving!), working on a music video with Paul and a secret project I am uncertain when i can reveal to you. I know that is mean but in due time, in due time!
What I do want to share with you is my love for writing! I think there are few things better then receiving a nice thoughtful hand written letter and decorated envelope in your mail box. Now I know I have said this before in a few post that I use to have pen pals as a child and let me tell you I loved it! I had shoe boxes full of all the letters, stickers, magazines, stamps and random things I collected over the years from my pen pals all over the world. The sad thing is with all my travels and moving, those boxes are gone.
The good news is I am going to try and find myself a pen pal (or maybe 2 or 3) I have signed up for Swap-Bot which is not only a great place to join people in swapping snail mail items but to find pen pals as well. So with that said I have been doing a little shopping around for some super cute stationary. I received a package in the mail today from Julie at We’ve Got Paper and I believe that Etsy sellers that go above and beyond deserve to be celebrated!
Now Julie is closing down her current online shop to open up a new & improved paper shop made with eco-friendly papers and dyes, so watch out! But in the mean time she is clearing out some of her awesome current stock where I snagged these cute Panda Girl Note Cards and got some pretty sweet surprise goodies! (See Picture Below)
If you need some cute stationary or notecards I highly recommend checking out Julie’s SHOP & for updates on her new online shop check out her BLOG!
Swap-Bot sounds neat! I had Penpals as a kid and loved writing letters!

I love snail mail and have a few pen pals, but we write sporadically. I would love to write you if you want a new penpal! Great post – I got a letter set from Julie’s etsy, thanks for telling us about it!
