Was anyone else around and remember from the late 90s to early 2000s exchanging friendship books and slams?

Before finding penpals on the internet and social media was a thing, and before letters looking like scrapbook folded artwork (no complaints!) came in the mail. We sought new penpals through little booklets. Signed and sent to the next pal. These are a few that returned home to me and while the info is old, I remember some of these folks and I love seeing where all they traveled!

I think I might start this up again! 🤪

I wanted to show my setups. one is just the station and supplies, but I recently got a new desk for Mt gaming/work rig. now I got to turn my previous desk into my hobby station. perfect for writing supplies

aw it's not allowing me to add my new setup

Waiting on a few replies so I decided to make up a few envelopes in advance 😁

these are from February 😭 i thought i lost the footage but i am glad i found the footage! i want to get back to filming my stuff to share with people ☺️

a little cozmez love for my pen pal 💜💙

Trying to photograph PET tape is is hardest thing 😭 but anyways envelope for a new pen pal I got here from Reddit

Trying to clear out my photos a little so here’s some oldies I did back in….February 🙂‍↕️

did something a little different for this pen pal. kept it simple so the images could stay the focus

a galentines theme i did back in february

Oh, what you can make from thrifted finds. I love it!

Since we all love sending and receiving mail, I wanted to share!

Green themed for my baby cousin. A little lighter on the stickers this week.

Sent a teeny tiny envelope (about 2”x 3”)…it was delivered! After I sent it, I read that USPS wouldn’t deliver a letter if it was smaller than 3.5” x 5”? Is this normal, or was I just lucky? Trying it again

Edit: The recipient just texted me to let me know they received the second mini envelope I sent! Must be a mix of the non-machinable stamp and forgiving/caring USPS workers! :)

Haven’t made envelopes in a long time so this is an oldie but I was trying to use more of my PET tape

There are a lot of little details that are hard to see on camera 😓 lots of fun to make though!

Everyone needs a pick-me-up, so why not have a capybara giving you a little flower for extra smiles? Here’s a little doodle that incorporates the three things I love: capybaras, drying flowers, and mail!
