Who Wants Me As A Pen Pal?

Isn’t it great to receive a piece of real mail? I mean, a message written with thought, (and, preferably, stickers). Rather than complain about how much personality and human touch is lost in our digital era, why not combat it with a true act of handcraftsmanship? Anyone who posts a little line about something pen pal related gets a real, handwritten, hand-decorated note from me, written on a real piece of paper, with a real pencil, and delivered via the United States Postal Service. Post addresses below, or if you’re creeped out, email to elissapmusic@yahoo.com. I promise I won’t show up at your door. At least not without some baked goods and a board game or something. I’m not a stalker – I just have a lot of stationary lying around. Let the Pen-Palling begin!

My Stationary Collection

I went through a phase where I bought a lot of really stupid stationary and stickers from Chinatown. I know somewhere in some drawer there’s a veritable pen pal utopia.

 

Pen Pal Guilt Complex

In 3rd of 4th grade my grandma tried to force me into a pen pal relationhip with some granddaughter of an Italian guy her in neighborhood. Little Anna Marie wrote me letter after letter in her broken English, and I never replied. Perhaps I can make up for lost karma in this effort.

Lisa Frank rules!!!!

I had a lot of penpals growing up, some of which were just friends/family in my city and some I got through those penpal services that matched you with people from all over the world. I saved up my pennies just to buy the latest Lisa Frank quality stationery. Loooooved.
