Penpal Group Anyone?


Hey guys!

Do I seem distant on here?  That's probably because I've fallen in love with one of my favourite hobbies again -- penpalling.  I'd almost forgotten how much I love sending and receiving snail mail.  Sure it takes up time writing out a letter and decorating it up, but it's worth it in my opinion.

The thought occurred to me as I was writing a letter recently: why not start a blogger penpal group?  I'm sure there must be other ladies (and gents) out there who wouldn't mind having a friend to write letters to.  It's something I think everyone should try at least once in their life.  Hell, I have a Swedish penpal I've written to for over 10 years whom I now consider a very close friend.

Maybe I'm out to lunch with this idea, so I need your opinion.  If I set up a blogger penpal alliance, would you join?  Do you know of any friends who would want to join?

Let me know and I'll get the ball rolling.

Definitely keen. When I was about 8 years old I had around 30 penpals. Was getting a letter almost every day, it was ridiculous. They slowly stopped writing over the next few months, except for one who is one of my best friends today :-)

I think it's a great idea! I would definitely join. I tried to be part of a vegan pen pal group but both stopped writing.

I've never done something like that, but I might be interested :) It sounds nice to have a penpal

Miki said...

I agree! Writing letters is so much fun! I've had a couple of penpals since I was about 15 years old; geez! I can't believe it's been so long.

Hope your week's off to a great start! ;D

Hugs!
