@tulosai  I got your letter the other day & already wrote back and will be mailing it out tomorrow. I loved your "stationary"! 

 

[LadyK]

I am done with one letter and halfway through another so I will be mailing soon!

Yaaaay!

I have only gotten letters from 2 of my pals so far (not including you) but hope springs eternal! @MissJexie I got yours today and OMG I am in tears! I will send you something SOON.

Aww yay!!! I am actually working on  longer response letters for you and my other pen pals! I got yours today and it was awesome!! I'm still waiting on a couple pen pal letters to arrive, and then I'm going to spend all day either Wednesday or Thursday responding to everyone and sending everything out at once. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I totally love my pen pals! <3

Woohoo! I got my first letter today! I've been a lazy bones. Sorry team. They'll go out tomorrow! Do you think a single forever stamp will work on a square card? I feel like oddly shaped items need more postage

yes

 

[meaganola]

I'm slowly working through my roster of cards to write!  First I needed to buy cards, then I needed to buy stamps, and now I just need to find time to write!  I got two out this morning, but this evening was weird (and now it's bedtime!), so I didn't get to do more tonight.  But tomorrow night should be better, so I can get a couple more out Wednesday.  I need to figure out my pacing to save my hands!  Or liberate some slightly-used (a couple of empty rows on a spreadsheet, a page number) paper from work and just type everything.  That's probably the better idea since my handwriting is a *nightmare* that only gets worse as the writing project goes on.

I finally mailed my first letter the second one will go out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay my lovely pen pals. I start a new job, close on a new house, and am buying a new car ALL this week. I'm in a paper/box mess here!

 

[MissJexie]

Just wrote more letters to my pen pals! Keep an eye out ladies! <3

 

[LadyK]

Sent off one little package yesterday and sending another one tomorrow.  I love to think of all our little happy-grams making their way across the country.

So exciting! Totally worth the delay. Congrats! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ok as of tomorrow my first round of letters will be completed and all 7 of my penpals should be receiving a letter and goodies from me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Im still buried under more than 18 inches of snow (and so is the car), so I haven't been able to make it to the post office to get stamps for the rest of my letters, yet...SOON, guys, I promise! Stupid arctic tundra..

 

[meaganola]

I got cards out to four of my people! I don't have an address for the fifth, but it's on the way, so once I have that I can send out a card. I'm looking forward to payday next week so I can get some goodies sent out! (I'm so broke until then that I'm on a complete no-buy. I can buy milk, toilet paper, and katfud if I run completely out or the milk I currently have goes bad. "Almost out" is not close enough for this.)

 

[Kelli]

I haven't sent any of mine yet. The post office is practically in my backyard, so you'd think that'd make it easy to get there...but I sooo don't feel like trekking through thigh-high snow to get to it LOL (and it seems so wasteful to sweep off a vehicle to only drive around the corner).

Both of my letters are written, so as soon as I am willing to go out into the world again I will send them /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm sure it will be tomorrow.

 

[MissJexie]

I'm worried about one of my pen pals. I sent her a little present and a introduction letter and I haven't heard from her. She hasn't been on MUT in awhile either. Hope she's OK /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think a lot of people are just taking a bit of time due to the holidays and stuff.  I am still waiting to hear anything from most of my pals, and while I didn't send them anything near as awesome as you did, I did send them all fairly long letters.

haha nooo I just sent little gifts!

I get mega-anxiety over the silliest things. I'm sitting here thinking, "omg she read my letter and thinks I'm nuts" or, "omg she got in a car accident or something I hope she's ok!" I tend to over-think/worry about things, lol. I also think I just have way too much time on my hands and I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to people with busy schedules! She's probably super busy, which is totally understandable!

I don't think this is me but just in case I have something going out in the mail for you tomorrow.
