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!!

I'm not sure if Tasha has sent out an email informing everyone that she has placed the pen pal program in my care. With so many things going on in her life, she felt it was essential that she allow someone else to continue the program.

Tasha has forwarded me the pen pal email list and I will be using that to send out emails. If you are interested in joining the program, please send me an email at penpalbuddy2014@gmail.com

Please note all the information included in the rules. I look forward to continuing this process.

Thanks,

Sebrina

Hello all. Pen pals sounded fun. I mailed Sabrina (my pen pal) a box. As of today I have not received anything from her. I e mailed her several times with no response. So ...I don't think I'll do this pen pal thing again. Bummer.... Oh well ..life goes on...
