Lovely Letters - May/June Sign Ups

Welcome to Lovely Letters! A bi-monthly snail mail pen pal program for bloggers and non-bloggers hosted by Mintspiration and My Soul Called Life. That’s right! We made another slight change to the program by welcoming not just the blogging community, but anyone who is looking to build new friendships by sending lovely letters and packages all across the globe.

Lovely Letters Parcel

Do you remember the "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die" scene from Despicable Me? I went through similar feelings on Friday, when I opened the parcel Claudia had sent me. 

"It's so pretty I'm gonna die!"

It was lovely to get a parcel from a different country! Claudia is such a thoughtful friend, that the goodies she sent me were nothing short of wonderful.  

Some chocolate is missing from the photo, because I already ate it. Raspberry and chocolate is a perfect combo!

If you're wondering why Claudia sent my a parcel, go HERE to read more about the Lovely letters snail mail exchange. I send Claudia something too. 

Funny story, though (not really): I was supposed to send my parcel from Thailand, because we were there on a holiday, but couldn't do it because the post office was closed. So I had to do it in Singapore. And all that hassle made me forget some of the things I had made and bought for Claudia. Couple days ago when I was unpacking my bags, I found them. 

I guess, Claudia's going to get a second #LovelyLetters parcel. 

When was the last time you sent someone snail mail?

A lovely way to celebrate International Women's Day

As you may have noticed,  I am co-hosting the Lovely Letters snail mail program with lovely Claudia. Since I was on a vacation in Southeast Asia, I wasn't able to post this month's sign up post. That's why we decided to give you couple more days to join us! 

Lovely Letters is a perfect way to celebrate the International Women's Day! You'll get to meet and connect with a lady (maybe even from a totally different country) 

Welcome to Lovely Letters! A monthly bi-monthly snail mail pen pal program for bloggers hosted by Mintspiration and My Soul Called Life. That’s right! We made a slight change to the program. In short, we received some feedback from a few participants who participated in January’s exchange and it seems that 2-1/2 weeks is simply not enough time to get to know your pen pal partners. Minttu and I agree. So instead of giving you 2-1/2 weeks to get to know one another, we are extending the swap to 2 months instead.
