::international or local penpals?::preferably US, but maybe one outside the US
::anything else?:: Nope, I think I covered everything.
 
It's been a while since I had penpals. I used to run a fan message board for the band Kill Hannah and the girls on it and I would send eachother mixed cd's, holiday/birthday cards and letters. It was so much fun. One of them I am still friends with and we send eachother stuff and try to meet up for a concert once a year! Love the idea of having makeup/beauty related penpals!

 
Should there be a fun "reveal" thread for pen pals? Not like showing the actual letter content, but whenever someone sneaks in a fun thoughtful treat we have place to post, "OMG LOOK AT THIS!!" posts? Or if someone uses really really cute stationary~

Or we could do them here lol.

 
Ummm I got so carried away with setting aside samples/buying adorable stationary that I failed to realize I never actually picked any pen pals. Er....

Going through all of your lovely questionnaires now, but if anyone else is still looking for one message me!

 YAY SNAIL MAIL.

 
I sent small packages to all my pen pals because I didn't get to participate in the Secret Santa and totally felt left out lol (I love giving people stuff!) They seemed to have arrived safe and sound I can't wait to hear back from my pen pals! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So far I have received one letter and it was so sweet and so exciting I felt like a kid again with my pen pal from England! haha :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Happy to have signed up for this. Wish I could take on more pen pals but honestly I am incapable of not sending gifts occasionally and I would go bankrupt with more than 3 right now lol

I did the same thing... set aside samples and bought adorable stationery!  I've always loved cute stationery but haven't had many people to send snail mail to in years so I stopped buying it.  This gave me a new reason to buy it!

You will be hearing from me soon.  I got your package yesterday and YAY!  Thank you!  I am putting together little things for my pen pals and will hopefully get something out in the next few days.  I am hosting a Women's Christmas Tea this weekend so it may not be until next week.  It is fun to be able to grab those little things you see in stores but aren't sure if any of your non-MUT friends will like them.  

 
Alright, I have several letters all sealed up and ready to go in the mail int eh morning! Sorry about the delay, penpals...it's been a hectic week between work and weather!

I still have a couple of letters still to write this weekend, too. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay! I'm actually working on a more detailed letter for you now! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And a Women's Christmas Tea sounds amazing you'll have to tell me about it! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That was my favorite part of secret Santa so I'm really excited I can still buy those little goodies!
 
Still writing! Will mail out tomorrow or maybe Monday. If anyone still wants a pen pal, hit me up!

I want to hear about the Christmas tea! Why don't I have any local friends who host events like that?!
 
I am officially done with the mittens the last few of you asked for.  I have to get them in the mail sometime this week.  I'm posting this in the pen pal thread too...I don't know if all my people are over there.

My pen pals are going to have to be super duper extra patient.  My time is all taken up for the next couple of weeks and my friends here are gonna have to take the back burner for a bit.  I still love you, I promise!
