Here's the link! http://www.etsy.com/shop/LaPapierre?section_id=7578176&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1 Where did you get the wax and seal?  I want wax and a seal!

I got my new seal & metallic wax on amazon. I'm not 100% thrilled with my new wax though. It's very sticky which isn't normal for sealing wax & the wick actually burned the wax itself. I don't like having black charcoal spots in my seals. I got my good gold wax at michaels a few years back. That stuff is amazing & I'm almost out! I don't know if michaels still carries it. I've also seen wax & seals at office supply stores as well as Barnes & noble. It's hard though. They are going out of style just like stationary is. It's really sad. I love wax seals!

  Wow that stationary IS adorable but I have too much still to justify a new purchase.  Maybe soon!!

I'm in love!  I can't wait to get it!

 
I just went sooooooo crazy on Etsy. So much cute stationary! I had to limit myself to $15 so that things don't get out of control. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hear you!  The website I linked above, I ended up on her blog, then navigated to her "League of Extraordinary Penpals".  Now I need even more stationery!

I'm just starting out with the pen pal stuff!  I'm still looking for a couple more if you're interested!

HAHA I really am though! I sent everyone a package and then sent them like a 5+ typed letter and while a couple have responded or told me they were working on responding (you guys know who you are! <3 ) The others have literally dropped off the planet so I'm convinced they read my rambling life story and just like, blocked me and ran for the hills!

I'm worried, too! I have only heard from one of my penpals. Hoping that I didn't 1) scare the others off, or 2) have something lost in the mail on either end!

To all of my penpals: I misplanned/mispacked and was out of town for a few weeks. I am back now, and I have gotten letters from a couple if you. I am working on writing now and will have something in the mail to each of you this weekend.

This made me laugh. I would have loved a 5 page letter. I have two missing pen pals...
 
I have a few missing penpals, too :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But, I can't complain because between the snow mountain and my slow-ass stamp order, it's been taking me longer to get things out than I hoped, anyway! BUT, if tracking isn't lying, I should get my stamps tomorrow, so the letters that have been sitting here watiing patiently to go to @cobainrls and @utgal2004 will finally be on their way. <3

I wasn't thinking of you as a missing pen pal. You've kept us informed over the stamp debacle of 2K14 :)
 
BTW, I do realize that people are busy and that some people might not be missing, but just plan on this being just a "I'll drop something in the mail once in a while" kind of thing and that's okay! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Working on a couple more letters this weekend!

 
It's snowing again. AGAIN. WHY?? hopefully this doesn't mean more mail delays...I am so over this winter. I know I live in the midwest, but...I wear it's not usually this bad!
