I SO get it about being slow with pen pal letters as I take so much effort on the envelopes! Good idea to get some ready in advance. Love your process. Thx for sharing!
Do you have a recommendation of where I could find one or two people to begin doing this type of art and letter writing with? I'd love to find someone to send some of my stash to and share short letters and art with, but I don't know where to start.
So Skylar doesn't have to repeat herself (she contacted me via Instagram): If you post to Instagram with the hashtag #mailart and/or #penpalswanted or at least scan those hashtags, you will probably be able to find people interested in swapping addresses. I plan on trying it soon. I'll probably make a few envelopes and post a photo of them to IG with a call for pen pals.
Big Thumbs up. !! I love your envolopes. I also want to be your pen pal so i can see your work up close. Where can I leave my address so we can be pen pal, im still new at this and i have started my first, travelers not book.

Thank you for this! Actually loved it! New subbie with you! Think I will go do an envelope or two with my stash!!!!

Thank you for the inspiration. I love decorating my envelopes, but I think about it all too much and that blocks my mind...

If you're still feeling overwhelmed by your stash, you could always host a giveaway to declutter a bit. Tfs!
Great video! The envelopes were really beautiful. 💕Where do you buy those old stamps? X
Sarah Jones - I get most of them in the mail from my pen pals. But if you search Etsy for vintage cancelled postage you’ll find some.

I think you did really well! May not be your usual style but very nice nonetheless!! :)
