Super fast! Must have been that magic pixie dust I sprinkled! ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I got some lovely valentines day goodies from @lorizav...THANK YOU!!! You're amazing. And that Nails Inc glitter is seriously incredible...I'm already wearing it as I type this!

Started your letter today, but then I went out and got a haircut and went clothes shopping, so I haven't finished yet...but should be able to have it  and some goodies on its way to you on Monday!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
::age range:: I’m In my late 30s but I love having friends of all ages
::location:: Maryland
::do you prefer an e-penpal, physical mail pal, or a combo?::  Either, but physical mail is more fun for me as it’s rare to get anymore
::main interests:: Crafts, cooking, learning about anything and everything, reading, my pugs and my cat
::described as::  Very shy when you first meet me but pretty soon after very open, funny (or so I’m told), a good listener
::music::  Just about anything except country and opera, but especially love Sia and Tool
::movies::  I love movies but never seem to get around to watching many.  I like silly, stupid movies and dark and scary movies the best, but I’ll watch any movie that I’m not afraid will make me cry so chick flicks are usually out.
::TV shows::  American Horror Story, Sons of Anarchy, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report.  We only have Netflix and Hulu Plus so there are a lot of shows I haven’t even heard about, and I’m behind on most of the shows I do watch
::books/authours::  I’ve been listening to a lot of audio books lately thanks to my awesome local library, and go through 3-4 a week.  I love all kinds of books (except anything that might make me sad lol), but right now I’m especially into mysteries and love Elizabeth George, Tess Gerritsen, and the Flavia de Luce series.
::art/artists::  I’m ashamed to say that I don’t know much about art even though my husband went to art school…
::eek:ther random favorite people/things/places::  All of these would have to do with friends and family
::collect::  Hello Kitty (not sure I can ever give that up), cute bird-themed things, anything cute really
::specifically seeking:: new friends I’d never meet otherwise that I can send letters and sometimes care packages to
::prefer long, medium or short letters?::  whatever you are comfortable with!  It can be hard to know what to say to a complete stranger at first!
::how many pen pals do you want?::  I don’t have a definite number in mind, but I’m home all day so I have plenty of time to write
::would you participate in a "traveling journal"?::  I’m not sure…I think I’d do better writing back and forth to particular people
::international or local penpals?::  Both are fine
::anything else?::  The person who thought of this had a great idea, I haven’t done something like this since I was a kid.  Thanks!!
 
I got my letters from @jocedun and @amorgb

yayyyy! I should be getting stuff out to my girls early this coming week! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Got my package from @lorizav! Thank you so much! To my penpals your goodies will be mailed out Tuesday(my next off day)! Be on the lookout!

 
I'll have my stuff out by Wednesday. I only have one penpal so if anyone without a penpal valentine is out there, I'd be happy to send you a card :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
@Sheeeeeelby, got your letter today!  Yay!

@trekkersangel, 2 envies went out today!  One with the letter, one with the survey hahaha!

@amorgb, your letter gets mailed on Monday!

 
I have been a horrible pen pal.  I have received 2 letters every time i go to reply i stare at a blank piece of paper for a while.   My depression and anxiety monsters have been working over time this new year.  I'm hoping to sit down this week and write some letters and get some mail out.  so if you are waiting on me please don't give up on my some times i take a while.

It's totally the thought that counts!  I'm glad you liked it.  

Goodies going out tomorrow to @jannie135 and @Dezzie1152 and letter to @tulosai.  Then I'll be done with my backlog of pen pal letters.

All my V-day treats went out today.  Hubby said something about sending a lot of stuff and it got me thinking.  Just want to let my penpals know that all I ever expect is letters.  Everyone has different budget and time constraints and my favorite part is getting to know you guys.

I feel exactly the same way!

 
Just so my penpals know, I will be sending you goodies, but it looks like it'll probably be a bit after Valentines Day...a post VD pick me up, I guess! Damned schedule...

 
I'm a terrible pen pal! I have valentines day goodies for all of you! Why is it taking me 10000 years to mail everything out and finish up letters?
