Have you guys seen the new paper bar colors that Paper Source released at the beginning of March?

These beautiful colors are part of their new Vintage Flora line! I went to the store already, and picked myself up a pack of each color in the envelopes! I can't wait to use them for my snail mail!

You can see all the products offered at the paper bar in this new color line on their website!

sent with love.

I am finally getting caught up on all of my letter writing. Here are some of the letters I sent out this week!

Getting to use some of my global stamps I got for Christmas to two of my international Penpals! Yuko in Japan and Helen in the United Kingdom.

A letter to my new penpal Lynsey!

And letters to Lisa and Dawn!

I hope all of these letters find you well ladies! xo

I received two letters in one day this week! I love when that happens.

A letter from my friend Jenn in Chicago!

A letter from my new penpal Tiffany!

Be looking for letters in your mailboxes soon ladies! xo

mail tag.

Have you heard of mail tag? Do you participate in mail tag with your penpals?
I read about it on Papered Thoughts and thought it was such a neat idea and wanted to start participating in it with my penpals. I know I get stumped with things to ask, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a post that included some ideas.

Mail tag is an exchange of postal correspondence between two people. One person mails requests to their penpal, who then answers those and sends back their own mail tag. Ask as few or as many things in each request that you want!

Don't know where to start? Here are some ideas to get you started!

• What is your favorite quote?

• What would your last meal be?

• What is your current nail polish color?

• What are four things on your bucket list?

• What is in your purse?

• If you could have dinner with any five people, who would they be?

• What is your first job?

• What is your favorite book?

• What is your favorite childhood memory?

• Summer or Winter?

• Do you believe in ghosts?

• Who inspires you?

• A list of things that make you feel cozy?

• A receipt.

• A business card.

• Two things you were grateful for this week

• Favorite Game (Board, Card, Etc.)

• The meaning of your name.

• What is your favorite go to junk food?

• What is your favorite drink?

• What is your favorite recipe?


Here is a handy cheat sheet from Goodnight Little Spoon if you are looking for even more inspiration!

letter writing goodies.

My godmother is a consultant for Stampin' Up and I recently requested a catalog from her to see what kind of fun goodies I could buy to make my letters even more fun! I found a few great things, plus a ton of inspiration in the catalogs!

I picked up a paper punch that is a stamp shape! Not sure what I will use it for yet, but looking forward to playing around with it. I also got 3 rolls of spring inspired paper tape. Gosh, I love paper tape. I have a slight addiction to it honestly. And then this gorgeous lace doily tape! Isn't it fantastic? I think it will look great on some black envelopes! oh la la!

Have you gotten any fun letter writing goodies recently?
