Pen Pals!

Hey Everyone! 

So I know a few people on here have pen pals and so I wanted to make a thread where we can share the things we send to others (keeping it confidential of course!). I need some inspiration on personalising my letters and including artsy bits! 

Also, where does everyone get their supplies from?

Remember to block out anyone's names and addresses if you're going to send a photo!

    Nice thread! I wouldn't do penpals purely out of penmanship haha 

    But I would consider it when get back to college as I can type and print 😂

    There’s a group on Facebook called positive pen pals that’s where I found most of mine 

    I really do enjoy it it gives me a sense of purpose sometimes when things are rubbish 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    @Aidan I really enjoy it, it is exactly like talking to Internet strangers! Its nice to chat with someone who is from somewhere different and get to know them. I also think you get to know them for more of who they are rather than focusing on appearances or anything!

    @Past User You can totally have an email pen pal, I have one currently and its just as good!
