I mentioned in one of my first posts for this year that I had signed up to rekindle my love of receiving snail mail. It seems to be making a comeback this year as I’ve come across a few blogs, posts on Facebook and Instagram from people reviving the snail mail. I’ve also seen a few posts from people wanting to find pen pals so I thought I would share with you what I have found so far. If you are interested in finding a pen pal check out these following links:
The first one I joined was by Creating Contentment, the new sign up is here Spark Connections Pen Pal
I also found and joined this group via Instagram @snailmailrevival or click this link Instagram Snail Mail Revival
I’m a fan of FATMUMSLIM who with a friend, has created some delightful cards you can order here Scatter Love Project to get you started with your snail mail revival.
I don’t know about you but about the only thing I receive in my letter box these days are bills and shopping catalog’s. To come home to a nice pretty letter, hand written by someone from across the globe is a nice feeling and more personal than logging into email. Don’t get me wrong, email is free and instant but there is just something special about receiving a hand written letter.
I know what I will be doing this weekend, putting pen to paper and spreading the joy of receiving and sending snail mail.
There certainly is something about getting a handwritten letter – especially when written on nice paper and in fountain pen!
Thanks for linking to me!!! I’m so glad you are enjoying the letter writing. It is so special these random relationships I am forming with these women I write to. I am also finding that I am very honest and reveal a lot of myself when I am writing my letters. I think it is a good way to learn more about myself too. xS
