oh my darling penpal project!

melissa over at oh my darling blog is starting a really awesome fun and nostalgic project: dear darling penpal! when i saw that she had posted this i immediatly emailed her and told her to sign me up! i used to have a penpal back in the day and it was soo much fun to get letters in the mail...especially when you are 10 and you don't get mail anyways...now i get nothing but junk mail and bills and the occasional card from the mister's mom...which is always such a fun treat.... like getting fun surprises in the mail too? well i would stop on by oh my darling's blog and sign yourself up...plus it is an excuse for me to use my awesome type writer!

  5. Eeeey so excited!
    I wrote your letter and the other two, then came to write Melissa's and my pen ran out half way through. I was like...aw god it looks really messy and like I don't care! So I drew an owl to try and make up for it. Haha!

  7. This is a really nice idea for a project...I'm tempted. Plus of course now I have all this time on my hands!

  8. The last time I had a penpal was in fourth grade through our school. Lots of "Do you like this?" or "My favorite color is blue, what's yours?!" I love it. It's such a neat way to meet someone new! Now that I think of it... I may have to go over there and sign myself up.

    By the way... I've been aching for that exact type writer for months now. I saw one on ebay and would've bought it had I not been broke. There's something magical about writing on a type writer vs. a computer. I always feel more inspired by the obnoxious clicking sounds the keys make. Thus, I am super jealous... but if you see another about, shoot a message my way!
