It's time for the August Sweet Mail Exchange! After discussing things with Robin in a bit more detail, we've changed the sign-up process just a little bit! If you want to play along this month, here's how to connect with a pen pal...
Q: When should I send my letter to my pen pal?
A: Please be courteous and send your sweet mail so that it arrives before the end of the month. Transit times will vary depending on the destination and country of origin . . . not to mention how busy everyone is throughout the Summer, so be sure to plan ahead!
Q: Do I have to take pictures of the letters my pen pal and I exchange?
A: Yes and No. . . If you're participating as part of our August challenges, posting photos is part of the challenge requirement. If you are just sending mail for the fun of it, you don't need to post, but we'd sure love to ooh and ahh over your packages!
Q: What should I include in my letter?
A: There are no rules! Just a couple of suggestions: 1) incorporate paper and 2) keep it letter-sized. Or not! This is meant to be a fun way to get your creative juices flowing, so anything goes.
Need some inspiration?
Check out the July Sweet Mail Exchange where we share links and images with one another! I'm working on centralizing everything, so now now there is a new thread just for Sweet Mail Exchange Inspiration here. Feel free to post photos as you stumble upon them!
