Pen Pal Goodie Boxes?

  • Popular Post

So, I was thinking, how fun would it be to have a monthly pen pal? Someone new each month to send a box of goodies or things that you have found helpful. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now and would like to get started. There would of course be a spending limit and some general rules but I wanted to get a feel as to if anyone would be interested in participating.

If you are interested reply with an email that I could send you more info to. I would love to get this started!!

My pen pal, Veronica, was absolutely fabulous!!! I can't explain how wonderful it was to actually have someone really interested in getting to know me. We talked for a couple of weeks before we even sent our addresses!! By the time I sent her box, I honestly felt very comfortable in the choices that I made for her. I now have a new sister because of this program!!!

My pen pal sent me:

sugar free chocolate Chip Cookies

Sugar Free Werther's Originals

Sugar Free Hard Candy

Fiber One Cinnamon coffee Cake

Clif Builder's Protein Bar

2 Detour Protein Bars

Better Bowls vanilla Instant Pidding

Sugar Free Chocolate Peppermint Patties

3 truebars

Nugo Dark mint chocolate chip bar

Quest Bar

Met RX Protein Plus Bar

Met RX Minis Bar

Pure Protein Bar

2 boxes of Crystal Light energy

2 boxes of Diet Snapple to go

Sugar Free Hawaiian Punch

Some of these are items I've never heard of not tried which is awesome. It's difficult to find healthy options here so I really appreciate everything. I'm already looking for these items via the Internet so I can get them shipped to me. Veronica, you absolutely ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sis!!!!

I emailed but I have yet to get a reply :(( I would really like to be apart of this. Does it usually take a long time to get a reply?

I just sent out the email for September participation. Remember, you have to reply yes or no. If i do not hear from you by the deadline, you will not be included.

DO NOT say yes if you DO NOT intend on sending a package.

It is not fair to those that want to participate, you are hopefully making a new friend for life and getting to try different things! We have had great friendships form from this program and it has tuned into a great support for all of us.

If you did not get an email and would like to be included please email me at tashapettit@gmail.com by September 6th!!

As always, have fun and get to know your pen pal!!! :)
